Looks as if Adam got a decent turnout for tonight, attendance was 9356 per the HDM, I like to think that we can better that for the opening home game.

See above. Only based on the few crowd shots, as I was looking to see if I recognised anyone, as that seemed more interesting than the game, but I doubt that figure is accurate.
 
It sounds like Adam may be putting the plans for a new stadium on the back burner for now.

Hull FC owner and chairman Adam Pearson has expressed concern about the future of the club and the game should they struggle to entice fans back.

The Black and Whites welcome an unrestricted crowd back to the MKM Stadium this evening for the first time since Covid restrictions lifted earlier this month.

With 5,500 memberships sold, the club had been hoping to sell as many tickets as possible for the clash with Leeds Rhinos and even made tickets available for £5.

9000+ is likely to be more than we will get at the first home game. I hope I'm wrong, but the sales of season passes looks poor so far.
That’s certainly going to be the case if they don’t sell tickets to people without memberships. Two weeks to go before the first home league fixture (10 days before the league cup tie) and tickets still aren’t on sale. It’s a remarkable way to be carrying on when trying to rebuild a fan base after a year off.
 
Just over 9,000 'piled' into the stadium according to the HDM.
Suppose that will be seem as a decent crowd for them. Although they were playing Leeds.
Would City be happy with 9,000 if we were at home to leeds united ?
I do think this long lay off will effect gates at City too. People have got out of the habit.

Seen as though Leeds United took 4,500 to Blackburn for a friendly, compared to Leeds Rhinos taking 150 to the MKM last night, I think City could drum up 4,500 fans to beat that figure.....

Makes you wonder why so few come to the cathedral of rugby in the rugby league capital to see their team play the world famous Man Utd of rugby league, doesn't it?

But Hull is a rugby town isn't it ? So they keep telling us. The FC Voices site leads with the banner THE CITY IS OURS. Is it really ? 9,000 for a league game against leeds when its £5 to get in is piss poor which ever way you dress it up.

Factor in also:

- 1st game for yonks
-Leeds is 2nd biggest rival after Rovers
- no plastic PL football on to compete with.

Shockingly low crowd.

Ok so what is a good crowd for us then for the QPR home game? Surely around 20k with it being the national game, no home match for 18 months, back in the Championship?

Unfortunately it will be nothing like that. Like the rugby, people have got out of the habit of attending live games and it will take some time and effort to persuade them back. Fc were offering tickets for a fiver last night and that didn't work so
I hope City's marketing people realise this and have something in the pipeline to make attending live Championship football fashionable and exciting again.
Personally I do not think making buying a ticket difficult, having no cash turnstiles and no cash payments will entice many walk ups.

Hopefully we will avoid an embarrassing home thrashing too

Reduce but not before an increase. They have finally lost the last sandwich in the picnic basket.
