| Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "Leeds Owl in respect of attendences Hull's last successful era was in the early/mid 80's when we regularly draw crowds of 16k despite winning nowhere near as many trophies as Leeds have done for a sustained period in Super League. During the early 80's Leeds were poor just like Hull have been for a number of years. Using an example in 1981-82 Leeds finished 6th in the league and their average attendance was just over 5k. You are either too young to remember those barren years or have a short memory. Hull and Rovers fans travelled in great numbers in those days ( just like they do now in fact) and used to fill the South Stand. Also in the eighties Rovers despite winning far fewer trophies than Leeds have done in recent years sometimes attracted crowds of 10k plus. It also has to be put in context that as a whole average crowds are far higher today than in the early mid 80's. Reflect on this before having a pop at Hull's crowds.'"
I can certainly recall the days when I longed for our attendances to match FC's. But
a) That was a long, long time ago, and
b) I don't remember FC regularly drawing 16k crowds. Occasionally, yes.
That said, they have always been what I would consider a very well supported club. |

| Quote: Doom&Gloom Merchant "Both Hull clubs have decent away followings relative to the sport, we take more away than we get away fans for the return fixture at home - I think that's an accurate statement to make. '"
No idea if it's accurate but sounds right. Having a day away from Hull is presumably a bigger pull factor than having a day in Hull. |

That would be my recollection also and by way of an example here are all Leeds' visits to play Hull at the Boulevard 79/80 to 89/90:
27-Nov-79 ….. FT ….. Lost ….. 9,551
3-Feb-80 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 11,087
19-Oct-80 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 12,748
15-Feb-81 ….. CC ….. Lost ….. 15,119
16-Aug-81 ….. YC ….. Won ….. 11,194
8-Nov-81 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 13,101
13-Oct-82 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 13,027
1-May-83 ….. PREM ….. Lost ….. 11,845
21-Mar-84 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 10,842
16-Oct-84 ….. YC ….. Lost ….. 10,542
5-Dec-84 ….. CHP ….. Won ….. 9,026
9-Apr-86 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 4,395
2-Nov-86 ….. CHP ….. Won ….. 6,205
6-Apr-88 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 7,024
2-Oct-88 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 7,081
1-Oct-89 ….. CHP ….. Lost ….. 7,774
The wins and losses are from a Leeds point of view and I doubt that comes as any great surprise either. |

Over 90% of people there will be Rhinos fans. Hardly a takeover.

According to Rothmans Hull had 6x 16k plus attendances in 1981-82. |

1981/82 - that would be Hull's return to the top flight? 1982/83 it was down to 3x16k plus attendances (one of those V the touring Aussies, the others Hull KR and oddly Barrow ), then 1983/84 just the one V Hull KR and then 1984/85 not even the derby pulled in 16k to the Boulevard.
Nobody's knocking Hull's attendances in the early 80's - they were the best supported club in the game - just qualifying the frequency of the monster packing out on Airlie Street. |

Can't believe just told my dad I can not be bothered going tonight, can't recall other times doing that. Just giving in with the crap on offer. Decided in end to go in seperate cars, so I can get up and leave early if I want, and boo if it is my choosing. |

A crap hole indeed but a crap hole that generated a cracking atmosphere and we didn't need a band to artificially create one. |
