A lot couldnt be botherd juding by the attendance.Was dissapointing to see the stands empty.Just amuses me that the minute we have a low crowd,we get jumped on.There are a few facts why people didnt go and support so low...Catalan brought 5 fans,people have got fed up with our form and especially after the Sts performance,Was a bloody horrible night and on sky,warmer and drier in house,Season passes on sale this mth...i only went due to daughter buying me a ticket or else i wouldnt have gone...My excuse...was in hospital for 3 days last week and on sick leave this week and i dont get paid..i had other prioroties.

Last night was a poor effort by Hull fans. For the first time this season.
As a Hull fan I'll admit that. For whatever reason, and there is probably a lot, people chose not to go.
But seriously, why do people give a damn? We're consistently well supported (arguably 'one of' the leagues best) throughout the season, and after one game the fans are getting slated.
We won the match. The fans who attended are happy. The fans who didn't attend are happy. That should be our only thought. If other clubs fans want to try and find a way to put the club/fans down then that's their choice.

This only happens [people jumping on you for attendance] because your fans more than any other always brag the most about how well travelled you are and how you the the most and greatest fans.

Sure they didn't just 'conveniently become skint' last night. Many of those missing, however, will have been season pass holders. Once the pass is paid for, there's only car parking and maybe a drink to pay for during the regular season. Conversely, it would have cost a family with a couple of kids around £60 to attend last night's game. After the expense of the recent Wembley trip and with season passes already on sale for next year, it would have been beyond many people. And, as I alluded to earlier, people do have things other than rugby to consider.



I've already said that some will have been put off by our poor performances in recent weeks, especially the Saints one. I know of at least two people who are 'non-regular' supporters who went to the Saints game and didn't go last night because of that. Not everyone is a die-hard fan who will go come what may, but equally, not everyone who didn't go 'couldn't be bothered'.

Got us mixed up with the inbreds from other side of city Never brag about our support as it can come back and bite us on the ar$e but 98 consecutive home games of 10.000+ is hard to ignore...as for play-off matches...cant remember the last one that was well watched.Even when we played you last season in play offs..was only 8,600 there.

Anything else you want to make up whilst your at it?

Unless you have solid proof of 10000 people saying that, then its more crap spouted by you.

"The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fkig with you. Fck pride. Pride only hurts. It never helps. You fight through that sh*t"

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.
