gater2 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Since Hull have built their new ground, they have often been getting home gates of 20,000+, bigger than most 1st div teams, and even some Premiership teams . I know they did not have these gates before the new ground, so i guess it must be because of it. Would this happen to us if Severnside went ahead? I doubt it. So why has it been such a success at Hull? :Confused13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ziderhead2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 personally i think that we will get bigger crowds 2 start off with. but then they will slowly decreas. And back 2 the #### gate we get now...... :PC_Plod: Please keep this sort of typing to your mobile phone and not on this forum.

Port Said Red Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 So why has it been such a success at Hull? :Confused13: I understand it is acombination of factors the last of which was the ground. The Humber bridge increased the catchment area by about 150%, the tickets are reasonably priced and there is a deal with one of the rugby league clubs to supply dual tickets. On top of this they got the KC arena which is apparently worth a visit even when there isn't a game on! It's worth pointing out that success hasn't been instant there though, the fans are moaning about them being an "underachieving big club". Sound familiar!

weepywall Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 i think new grounds do increase crowds, derby, reading are other examples of this, i think our crowds would increase but not sure by what extent, i think Hull really are a sleeping giant and its a city that is crying out for a major force in football, Hull is the biggest city in europe where its football team has never played top league football, thats an interesting fact for you all !
