Any idea how they are going compared to last season?

Sold out (sorry I thought I was on the hull fc forum)

It sounds like there is a lot of interest for the north stand.
But that could be existing pass holders transferring from other stands.

Be good to see the north stand packed out every home game. Seems there's a lot of interest from existing and new pass holders. This stand is really starting to benefit the club, and the signs are there already. If we can average 9000 next season, and it could happen, then that's all good.

Average 9000?

Based on crowds declining every year since their 8500 peak in 2008, I think getting back to an average 8000 would be a more realistic aim.

Agreed. Back above 8,000 would not be too bad considering the current climate.
But there is the added benefit of the corporate boxes and function room. Also
KC are sponsoring the new north stand.
We should try and push the new stand to all the away supporters who have been
put off by the old golf stand and south stand.

A few deals on the south will get our average attendance up a notch.

True but I do wonder what kind of difference the 8 month deal will have.
Instead of a £200 chunk its 8 smaller bits of £25 which could help.

Maybe I am being over realistic, but on average on our crowds this year, the south had est 400 to 500 every match (and that's being generous). Take that figure off our average over the year and that puts us to 7000 fans.
Next year with the north stand open to home and away support, you would have to say at least 80% of the stand would be filled every home match making that a total of just over 2000 fans. Add a smattering of south stand fans, then I cant see why 9000 wouldn't be achievable.

Anything over 8000 would be a bonus

People paying in one lump sum buying for the east will be in no rush to buy a pass as it doesn't go up until late December so might as well hold onto the money a bit longer.

The North Stand is flling up nicely, but most (if not all) are people migrating from the East or West Stands. The trick for Rovers is to backfill this capacity with new or lapsed supporters. I still think we may have misjudged the allocation for away fans somewhat and could find ourselves turning down away fans once they sell 900 seats. Opening up the South Stand for them is hardly going to appease either.
