its not as if Hull FC have signed a poor tenancy deal whereby the stadium gets loads of extra revenues once Hulls crowds grow above a certain figure

Correct. That deal was renegotiated a while ago.

Hull FC make enough money from the playing at the KC to turn a modest profit for the last three years. How many clubs who own their own stadia are doing the same?

Complete and utter rubbish.

Hull FC make far more money at the KC than they did at the Boulevard and they don't own the KC.
Ticket sale increases, corporate increase, bigger profile, more merchandise sales as a result, etc. You may say "you have to pay rent", but this covers maintenance, which you would have to pay if you owned your own ground anyway.

Big club in a big city , quite pssibly

Medium or smallish town a different scenario

Put that club outside SL and it is a loss maker

Suppose we are all peasents compared to people who can afford to go to the KC every other week.

You really think that will be enough for us to show a 50% increase on attendances?

I think it will boost attendances but I think expecting 15k attendances is asking a lot - but I hope I am wrong!

We at Hull increased our attendances by more than 50%. In fact it might be closer to a 100% increase, and in our first season at the KC we finished 2 places below the position we finished in during our last season at the Boulevard iirc
