Shota Arveladze says Hull City are 'open' to continue with £2 ticket offer next season

Hull City boss Shota Arveladze has revealed that the club is 'open' to continue with the £2 ticket offer next season after trailing it for the second time in Good Friday's clash with Cardiff City at the MKM Stadium.

Tigers owner Acun Ilcali had set-up the initiative ahead of the game against Barnsley, before going again with the idea for the Luton Town game on March 19, which brought in an attendance of 16,555. This was City's highest in the Championship all season, and although the Hatters ran out 3-1 winners, the Tigers attracted another impressive crowd for the defeat by Huddersfield Town earlier in the month.

Given it was a Friday night game and on Sky Sports, 12,764 were there and the Tigers seem to be attracting more fans to come down for the visit of Cardiff later this week. The 'Welcome £2 the New Era' offer allows seniors and Under-16s to purchase a match ticket for just £2, with Members able to bring one friend for £2 (any age band).

With another big crowd expected for a Bank Holiday fixture, Arveladze is hoping to put on a much-improved performance for the supporters. He also added that the Tigers are hopeful of continuing the offer ahead of the 2022/23 season, where they are all but set to playing Championship football.

He said: "I still believe the crowd and the supporters will still show up anyway, they have done it already and they come to away games - a lot of them. They give us an extra bit of energy.

"The home games are even more special and I don't want to believe that it makes too much of a difference, but it is always good to do these offers and it gets the club more money. This is the last one for this season and the club is open to do this next season as well.

"So, I don't think it will change
