Hull KR have announced another sell out crowd this time for their Hull derby clash with neighbours Hull FC.
The Robins are riding high at the moment having beaten Warrington comfortably in front of a sell out crowd a week ago before booking their place in the Challenge Cup semi-finals with a 34-10 win over last year’s finalists Castleford Tigers last night.
Things just keep getting better for the club with the Robins revealing today that their next game has also sold out as they welcome their biggest rivals to town who are also enjoying a superb season and could still meet the Robins in the Challenge Cup semi-finals if they beat Huddersfield today and the draw brings them together at Elland Road.
But before they can look to the semi-final, they have a league derby to look forward to in front of a sell out crowd. The sell out is Hull KR’s second consecutive sell out in the league after a brilliant initiative by the club saw them pack out Craven Park last week against Warrington with members able to bring family and friends for just £1 each.
With the derby sold out too, Hull KR become the first team in over a decade to sell out two consecutive league fixtures showing the progress the Robins are really making on and off the field as they look forward to a second semi-final in less than 12 months which Hull KR have already sold 1000 tickets for less than 24 hours after confirming their place in the semi-finals.
SOLD OUT ❌

As both Hull clubs are enjoying great starts to 2022, next week’s derby is set to be the best and biggest derby in years and should be top drawer in front of a full house.
