Matt Shaw saying membership retention is at 90%. Insane stat when you consider what we've served up recently

Certainly a great effort from the fanbase, it’d be interesting if there was any increase in take up once the take over gathered pace and again when completed. Wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest had things remained as they were at the end of 2024 season number would likely have been lower.

Hull Live reported on Oct 14th that we'd sold 4.5k passes. There was then some nervousness for another month until Takeover finalisation was confirmed. We've since shifted another 3k it seems.

Clubs 'Dinner with Thirkhill' looks good on the photos, club seems more together than it has for a while.

I am now in 'let's get on with the rugby' mode though, every club comes out with the same soundbites of how amazing their winter has been every year

Club hopeful of a crowd of 14K for the Wigan game, would be a huge achievement given recent years.

Plenty been done to improve matchday experience, Flags, Live music, New games at HT, Fireworks/Lightshow. Awful lot of work seeming to be going on off the pitch which can only be applauded.

seems to have rattled a few over the river, even without the ticket offer, we would still have a nearly 9-10k as the club reported a 1,000 tickets taken up on both offers!

Even with them selling out all their and ground and new state of the art temporary seating/tent, I’d still expect us to have a bigger opening home game crowd v Wigan, then they will get for Castleford.

Not that we’ll know any time soon, as even though they have a finite, limited capacity and sell out every game, they refuse to declare any attendances until about May.
