Thankyou for a civil answer. Didn't want it to descend into a "my dad's bigger than your dad" competition, I'm just genuinely curious. I can't understand why, despite your progress and success over the past few years, your fans "can't be bothered/aren't interested"! The clubs given out freebies and reduced season passes to save money. A lot of clubs' fans would give their right arm for that. Maybe it's signing Graeme Horne has dented people's faith in the club's judgement

Ad Block Plus disables the animation.

we had atmosphere when KR came in their thousands for the cup game ,well for the first 10 minutes anyway



as for our support at hull, well as the game has recently been played on friday nights thats a few hundred knocked off for a start, the price is also off putting for some as katy alluded to, but a lot of our fans have long memories and remember what happened to us at the boulevard and vowed never to return to hull again,obviously things are miles better at the KC but you can understand people not wanting to go back.
as for sunday, word is that west yorkshire police ( who no doubt will be out in force as is usual when any of the hull clubs come to town

) estimate 2-2500 hull fans so someone best ring em and tell em to double that figure then

If the Police estimate it's 2-2500 it will be that regardless what is said on here!! Just like in the cup the KR fans on here and in the ground were saying they were bringing 6000 and they didn't get anywhere near that! Interesting how the Police are involved as Giants games are usually Police free!! Unless the teams are from Hull, Leeds and Manchester!

someone i know from the police force wishy, said they are planning in advance for any trouble

TBH I can believe that as last season they were pretty rowdy goading the Giants fans. But then again they had just won 5 in a row and were top of the league when we last played them at the Stadium!

but sad in that the only 2 giants fixtures where the police plan in advance for any trouble is hull and hull kr dont you think?

It's a legal requirement at [uany[/u sporting event for coach operators to notify numbers to the police. This obviously doesn't take into account the numbers of supporters travelling by car and, judging by the traffic jams that we invariably get stuck in from the exit on the M62 to the ground, it's feasible to expect 3,500 - 4,000 don't you think?




Really? I was there, in the away end, which contained only Hull fans and heard nothing other than the usual singing/chanting that goes on, without comment, at every other ground in SL. Saw and heard nothing other than NORMAL banter on the way out either.

I still doubt this will attract that many across as you've never filled the away stand even last season you didn't bring 3000 and you were on the back of that run!




I was near the coaches and there was banter yes but also some little oiks giving it all this and that to the Giants fans as they passed. It's a true reality that our local Police look at the Giants fixtures and pin point 4 matches were they the look to seek their presence meaning a bill for the Giants!! And Hull FC is one of those 4!

That pretty much covers the whole of SL (barring Harlequins, Crusaders and the Dragons, whose away fans can be contained by a 70 year old steward)!

back on topic

cant stress enough how much damage those seasons getting hammered and finishing bottom every season in super league did to the club...

we have missed a generation of fans with this and its taking some getting back.. we have very little fans in the age bracket 20 - 30 im afraid.. they prefer football nowadays

but still i would say our away following is growing slowly, much better than years ago!!

for instance the following at crusaders and salford this season were briiliant

Well considering last seasons game at the Galpharm was a televised friday night fixture, 3000 was never really on the cards was it?

I'd worry more about your home support than your away support. Can't have even been 5000 hudds fans there today

Neither was it today!!!!

Erm yes there was!!

Anyway we know we have poor attendances, both home and away.

Maybe you should just be appreciative that we turned out in numbers today, I'm not going to debate how many Hull fans were in that stand but it was a big turnout.

What was today's crowd. Didn't hear the announcement.

Seemed reasonable from Giants.

Not many from Hull though. Catalans brought more.

It's the NUMBERS on the field that count, pal.

I do appreciate those that do visit our stadium. I just don't like it when there's some who say they'll be bringing this number and that number, and then well we filled that stand so we brought half the attendance, when they didn't. Thankfully The FC fans weren't as bad as the KR fans when they came for the cup saying they were bringing 6000 over and refused to accept that they failed to even bring half that number, even their official website inflated the actual attendance by KR for that game.

FC fans today were a credit to their club. Having had one of the worst reputations a few years ago they've really come a long way from those days!

Listen up, you can only dream of taking fans to games like we do for home and away matches.

The fact we have being pish poor for the best part of two seasons and you on the other hand have attended finals and we still are far above you in supporting terms. We've had premiership football and another SL team in the same city.

Your crowd figures even though they are improving which I may add and respect to those that do go, but as a whole your club deserves far better.
