YORK Knights are set to break their attendance record against Hull KR on Friday evening – with over 4,000 tickets sold so far.
Mark Applegarth’s side welcome the beaten Super League Grand Finalists to the LNER Community Stadium in the third round of the Challenge Cup for their first home match of 2025 (7:30pm).
There’s been a massive uptake in tickets, which went on sale on Sunday evening following the Knights’ 72-12 rout of Keighley Cougars.
Over 1,000 were sold within the first hour, with the West Stand already sold out.
