Here's some perspective on Hull FC's attendance of 9,515 last night.
1) It was the 2nd time in succession that Hull had failed to achieve a five-figure regular season home attendance. The previous home game in Round 7 attracted an attendance of 9,821 and it wasn't played on a Thursday night.
2) Prior to Hull's last two regular season home games, they had achieved 97 successive five-figure attendances dating back to 15th July 2006 when 9,247 turned up for the game against Warrington. Last night's attendance was the lowest since then.
