    Looks like the co-tenants are struggling. The gate last night was announced as 9,300, but that's seemingly ticket sales rather than bums on seats, and by the sound of things, it's not liable to improve soon.

    Would a drop of income for them have much of an impact on us as co-tenants?

    Being cold hearted, it should be an opportunity to grab some floating support, if only we were attractive at the minute.

    The fans of Hull FC have been dropping for a while. It is due to there poor performances on the field and I know a few FC fans that believe that until they improve the trend will continue. Most that I know don't have any interest in Football and the ones that do are,in any case are put off by the ticket prices. We should be worrying about retaining our bums on seats than FCs problems, a state of affairs that will not improve until we get rid of our troublesome owner who is slowly destroying the club.

    I'd be much more worried about our attendances next year to be honest.

    Missing out on 50% of the takings from a few hundred or so FC tickets will have no impact on our club at all, especially since the SMC accounts ensure they post a loss anyway.

    Lets concentrate on supporting our team and keeping us up Hull FC have there own problems and so do we, Our aim should be unity again at the club which is very difficult at the moment and keeping us up in the premier league which we all have to unite because the lads really need the backing of the fans so concentrate on our club

    To be fair 9300 tickets sold means there will have been bums on about 18600 seats
