Quote: knockersbumpMKII "That's a long way short of the 2nd tier attandance record, 12,424 Hull v New Hunslet, May 1979. We averaged not far shy of 7,000 for all home fixtures (with no games against HKR) in 78/79 and considering you had the likes of Swinton, Whitehaven, Barrow, Workington, Blackpool Borough, Bramley, Doncaster etc it was a fantastic achievement.
Still there have been times when Hull FC had a hard core of less than a thousand coming through the doors in an early 70s match.'"
Yes but they didn't even have telly in Hull back then
