He's not the one getting shirty about a game that didn't even involve his team.

The only sad plank here is you.

Thats the funniest part

Another classic post.

desperately poor from the Hull 'fans'. There aren't that many games to go to in RL compared to soccer, and I doubt soccer fans in Hull are any richer than the RL fans.

My father in law watched a game with me for the first time last night....3 times he said 'there aren't many people there'.

We cant crow about the media and sponsors when 8000 'die-hard' Hull 'fans' cant be bothered to go to a home play-off tie.

Can't be bothered? You've checked with all the absentees and that's the reason they all gave for their non-attendance?

Is that attendance including the 1500 seats Hull automatically add to their figures from the corporate area that Assam Allam gives them every year? Thing is them seats get counted as an attendance whether anyone sits in them or not.

8000 people don't stay away by some weird coincidence of Friday night business. either a) they couldn't be bothered b)they were sulking about the Challenge Cup final

Our gates have been around 11k, so that leaves 6k 'missing'. Hull is an economically depressed area. Fans have recently had to pay out for an expensive Wembley trip and some will have already started paying for next year's season pass. People don't have unlimited money.

Personally, I have had to pay £700 in vet's bills in the last few weeks, and there's likely to be more to come. I'm sure others have different reasons for not going beyond simply 'not being bothered'.

seriously? Just admit it's a really poor effort from the Hull fans.

No. I'm sure there are some who thought they'd give it a miss after last week's debacle against Saints, but there will be plenty who would have gone if they'd been able to.

I'll start to worry when we can only attract 5000 for a game against Wigan that will send us to the top of SL if we win it.

Knockout rugby has being poorly attended for a long while now and it is beccomming too expensive for people to go to games.

Call it poor all you want but I think the game needs to look at that bigger picture as people are not buying into the Top 8 format. We have had a poor regular season yet still made the play offs, families are not going to fork out over £70 to watch poor rugby. Even more so when you could have to do it all again a week later.

We won't be on our own this weekend at having an attendance lower then the reg season average throughout the play offs.
