Following a seven-year high in membership sales announced in January, Hull Kingston Rovers say they're delighted to have posted their highest average attendance since 2011!

Throughout the course of the season, an average of 8,221 spectators have witnessed the Robins in action.

That’s the highest, and the first time the average number has topped 8,000, since 2011.

120,830 people have come through KCOM Craven Park’s doors in Betfred Super League and Coral Challenge Cup fixtures in 2019.

The club say they were proud to set a new stadium attendance record in the very first match of the campaign, when Jimmy Keinhorst’s last-minute winner against Hull FC was watched by 12,100 fans.

Over half of their 14 home matches topped the 8,000 mark, and for the first time since 2011 over 7,000 were in the stadium each and every week.

Compared to 2018, there’s been a four percent increase in match-day attendance. The club are thanking all home and away spectators for their attendance across the last nine months.
