Hull KR have revealed their impressive membership for 2025 which is set to impact the away allocation that they can offer rival clubs who visit Craven Park.
The silverware has yet to come but for all intents and purposes, Hull KR are going through a real purple patch – particularly when you consider how recently they have been in the Championship.
Under Willie Peters, the club have recorded fourth and second-place finishes whilst also making it to two finals – the Challenge Cup in 2023 and the Super League Grand Final in 2024.
They’re among the favourites to challenge once again in 2025, a year which sees them hit 40 years without a major piece of silverware.
The demand for it is undeniable and recent results and the feel-good factor at the club has seen Craven Park become one of Super League’s most daunting away days – something that looks set to continue with KR confirming recently at a supporters meeting that the away allocation will be just 816 tickets.

Super League clubs are bound to give 10% of their ground to travelling fans but with Craven Park having limited capacity and Hull KR selling a huge 9,200 memberships, the Robins will offer a limited away allocation.
That was stated in the recently released minutes from the supporters meeting held in late November with the club’s Chief Executive Paul Lakin and Chief Operating Officer Craig Franklin explaining the situation.
Franklin confirmed that the club have 9,200 members to date, something that Lakin labelled ‘incredible’ before revealing that the away allocation will “not be the standard 10%”.
“Due to our extended memberships, we have talked to the 7 clubs who bring the highest following, we will offer 816 North Stand tickets instead of giving them any further ticket allocation towards their 10%, all 7 agreed,” surmised the minutes from what Craig Franklin said.
Hull KR will not play a pre-season game at Craven Park this year with the club’s involvement in the Amsterdam Challenge against York Knights being their only pre-season game, They will kick the Super League season off at home against Castleford Tigers though on Friday 14th February.

This is very good to see and great that HKR have sold so many memberships. Whilst having an agreement with the other clubs is good, can I suggest that HKR should be looking at what bigger grounds they could move too ? The last thing we want to be doing is turning fans away if we can help it.
