To try and get fans back into the stadium for both clubs next season what about issuing 15,000 passes which allow access to both Hull FC and Hull City home games.
The price would have to be attractive and probably in the prime seating areas.
The balance of available seats would be for both FC and Hull city fans not interested in watching both teams.
need some radical thinking for next season especially if Hull City are relegated

It’s a massive five games coming up for City, I hope they can stay up, their fans have had to witness the loss of countless good players, and seemingly endless troubles at mill, dual passes may be a great idea.

Rugby League really doesnt help itself at times with the infighting and constant structure and rule changes. To a casual or non-RLfan it just looks like some Northern blokes squabling in a boardroom and another reason not to get into the sport. We should have the fixtures out there and be letting SKY hype up the return.

Good example is Scottish Football, they cant decide how many teams are in what league, clubs sueing the league, constant votes on structure. Im unlikely to follow it because im not Scottish and the standard is poor...but I got bored even reading the headlines about it on BBC Sport months ago. Non-RLfans will feel the same about our sport.

If it comes off they will probably be the first to introduce dual passes for supporters

has to be a considered option for FC and Hull city next season

Both clubs have to look at alternative ways of getting fans into the stadium next season.There will be fans of both clubs who will not return to the stadium until they have the confidence to do so and that could take several years or never again due to lost interest.
Hull City will be particularly hit if Allam is still in place and they are relegated
Unless we win something this season i cant see the club maintaining 8/9000 pass sales without a radical incentive, and for both clubs to be playing home games with regular attendances of less than 10000 certainly doesnt help with finances or atmosphere in the stadium.

... and why will dual passes help? By my reckoning both clubs would lose money on any dual passes sold, they'd have to be cheaper than 2 individual passes.

And would it really entice anyone to pay nearly twice as much for a "2xpass" when they're doubtful about buying just one (for either club)?

Maybe they could market a pass that lets you in for FC, but denies you access for City!
