10800 something. Down 700 on the previous week.

I know there are a multitude of reasons for not attending, but you would think that being on the up, a few wins on the bounce, a stand off who can produce some magic and a trophy in the cabinet from last season would have some of the stay aways coming back.

Is about 11k what we should expect?

More saints fans that widnes ones

I was surprised at the attendance as looking from the East stand the West and the South stands seemed pretty full.

They've announced attendances of 10k plus in previous seasons which looked far more empty than last night. As you say though we should be looking at 11k minimum.

It's a Friday night, the KC needs investment, it's too expensive and the beer is garbage. We could win the lot and still not break 15k, away fans won't travel because we treat them like muck on our shoes, Stadium access is abysmal...? (I thought I'd steal knockersbump reply before he posted it)!

A little disappointing although it was up 600 on last year's fixture which was played in June on the back of 11 wins from 12.

Sounds like Hull are going for a big attendance against Leeds on Good Friday. Pearson has said the club is working with Leeds and the RFL to ensure the game is "befitting of the showpiece Easter schedule". It's not on Sky and if we have an evening kick off then there's no TV game to clash with.

10,260 last year for the same fixture, which is up 600. That was June and after 6 wins on the bounce following the loss at Headingley. The following from Widnes didn't look great last night, and its not exactly an attractive game for walk ups (no offence, Widnes). I think 11,000 is ok, and if we can get 12-13k plus for the games against Leeds, Wigan, Cas etc have better away followings then I think that'd be about right for us this year. Something to build on for following years.

You beat me to it!

The West stand is fuller than ever due to the family zone and unreserved sections, but there were a lot of gaps in the East (which is now smaller due to the away section) and I dont think the South Reserved section is working that well as we now have big gaos behind the posts.

I too was a bit disapointed with the crowd, first non-tv game of the year and i thought we'd get over 11k.

Then again whenever the club has had got a big crowd in (warrington end of last year, Catalan the other week) we have flopped, its hard to retain new fans if they have been underwhelmed previously.

I agree, it's a disgrace.

£4.20 For a beer? they're charging London prices to Hull people.

If they charged reasonable prices, I'd drink plenty, but because they don't, I don't drink any. So basically they just don't want my money.

I'll do my drinking before hand and give my money to somebody who doesn't want to rob me.

If they served beer at a reasonable price, more people would drink there, instead of going to a pub.

I was taking the Fxsters, a continued winning stretch (everything crossed) will see 15k crowds, let the away supporters in for free, get the KC Stafium to life.

The club need to market away travel, and not need you to go to the KC to book it. The City Centre shop is a joke, the staff can hardly tie their own shoes, it looks like a jumble sale

Shoddy beer / beer prices shouldn't dictate whether someone attends the game should it?

Also, I dont see there to be a need to compare the attendance to the equivalent game last season. The barometer for the gate was set 7 days before. Did Saints Bring over 700?? I very much doubt it.

Oh, and it really isn't that expensive (ticket for the game) as some would like to make out. This is top level sport. If you think its too expensive, check out tickets to top level football, concerts or theatre.

Maybe not too expensive if you're a well paid accountant with PWC but for a family with a couple of kids living on minimum wage finding £50+ for the 2nd time in a week might be a bit of a stretch
