I'm a season pass at Hull fc and I did n't go last night (wish I had now)
reason for not going
we have been very poor recently, Catalans never get me excited, bad weather and it was on sky so I saved money

will I go to Huddersfield or wherever next week? No because it's on sky and I can save even more money

money saved will go towards my 2014 season pass as like most people money Is tight

the bottom line though is that Hull FC still have great support home and away
and yes we are still sulking over our dismal display at Wembley

This will be my 3rd time of saying on different threads but you are wrong. I worked at the Boulevard on turnstiles and cashier for 16 years, for my sins also working at Rovers and Leeds. They are not allowed to count pre-paid seats, only those coming through the turnstiles for various reasons one of which is health & safety, they need to know EXACTLY how many people are in the ground. On cup matches when it is a cup match and usually a shared gate, you are shadowed by someone from the opposition on everything you do. Like I said on your board to General Troll aka Zod, it would be pretty silly to announce a higher attendance with a shared gate, if they wanted to "fiddle" and make more money and not pay as much to the opposition they would announce a lot lower gate. But why listen to someone who actually cashied at these matches for 16 years

come on people, we all know only Huddersfield can have poor crowds and have no justification for it!

never mind that despite a lot of hull fans probably not bothering, most of the reasons/factors are valid for not getting a bigger crowd.

No, this only happens because petty minded fans like yourself look for any excuse to jump on a club they don't like.

7k at Warrington's 2nd round play off against Hull with over 1.5k fans. What's your excuse for such a poor turn out? You have your fair share of boasters about how great your following is. 7k for a successful club having a good season against a side who brought good numbers isn't great is it? Good job your lot didn't play Catalans either and it wasn't raining otherwise you'd have no doubt been arrogantly criticising the gate as well...

But I don't care, if we get a 3k gate today so be it, I'm not going I live in London and I'm starting work at 6 tonight but if I was off, like I do with every game I'm off, I drive up.
If people don't go so be it but it is fun watching the self appointed kings of attendance squirm when they get such a low gate, touchy fans you Hull lot and easiest to wind up.

The figures show that we're one of the better supported sides in the league. No 'self appointment' required - simple fact. Not sure what your problem is TBH. It's not as if Wire have poor attendances - your average is going to be somewhere around ours. Is this another one of your petty responses to some perceived slight?

The only team who claims to have the best fans is Warrington. Who are by all accounts only started to be supported well when the money came in.

He hates us because some Hull fans upset his friend a few years ago, or something.

Im not surprised the Wire fans are so good given what their stewards are like

Well I am a hull fan and I didn't attend last night finances are very tight but if I really wanted to go I would of been able to find the cash. Don't know about others but for me the reason I go to watch a live sporting event compared with watching it on TV is the atmosphere and with no away support we all know that the atmosphere was going to be poor. The weather was a bit of a factor not that I would be a little bit chilly on the way to the game or I would get wet, but the fact that it was pi**ing it down and since the introduction of the rhino ball most games in the rain have been poor (granted last night wasn't as bad I thought it was going to be). I was at work at 5 sat morning and living 30mins out of hull that is all ways a consideration (but if I was excited by the game that wouldn't of put me off).

I could go on ..... But we are all fans and we all have decisions to make I know personally if money was no object I'd go to every game home and away but as it is I have to make a decision week by week wear I spend my money

So you care about other clubs' attendances but not your own? Isn't that you basically admitting your a huge hypocrit?

No, i'm not even that fussed with yours, but we put up with FC fans constantly pipping up about attendances up on high in those Ivory Towers.

I couldn't care less, maybe i like poking the dog with a stick?

if you didn't care, why comment?
