Th epoint you seem to miss is that we had been Pish poor for the best part of 3 DECADES. The Giants have only had 4 good years recently. We are still trying to get back the fans we have lost since the 1970s.

You support is very good and thank you for filling our coffers today. I hope soon we actually win something an dthen we will build up the support that you have.

I hope you do to, I can't wait for the day when every RL game is a sell out.

Unfortunatley I don't think i'll be alive to see that and I'm only mid 20's!

Although I do think you should have done better off that Season ticket offer.

We could guess that from you immature posts my friend.

Nuff said.

neither was it today but didnt stop some hull fans confidently predicting 4/5,000 turning up today

Good luck with that generalisation. You are making yourself look a fool.

We are a town not a city who has 4 super league team within a 15 mile radius and many more national league teams in the local area!!! Football is massive in the area too and we've got plenty teams around us competing for fans!!!

What has Hull got? Its a City with 2 RL sides its own football team and a couple of poor footy teams close by!!!! You've got a larger catchment area to aim for for all 3 teams compareds to us!!!!! I couldn't give a monkeys how large our attendances are its what happens on the pitch and from what I've seen over the past few years we are getting better and better!!!!!

We have filled that stand before. I can't remember whether it was 2 or 3 seasons ago. They had to remove the covering off the seats to fit us all in. I've no idea how many we took yesterday. My post was to point out that, if the police had been advised by the coach companies that we were bringing 2500, they would have to add more to that figure for people travelling by car and another 1000 wouldn't be an unrealistic figure given that we'd had a good winning run.



Where were they because they certainly weren't visible?

Anyway congratulations on the win, it was well deserved.

Erm....the police control room maybe?

No I am not.

Check up SL franchising, think off the field counts too then.



Although Huddersfield ain't a team to be anywhere near being thrown out.

Trust me young man, you are. Have you collated your none existent evidence on Huddersfields shady past?

Was that the sound of a penny dropping I heard?

Your a wierd un.

How could the coach companies say to the Police that they were bringing 2500 when according to the feedback given by Hull FC there were only upto 9-10 coaches travelling so I'd knock a zero off unless these coaches were extreamly overcrowded, no wonder the Police wanted to know!!

As for the stand when ever you've been in the past theres always been plenty of seats at the front, but it is hard to see these when you enter the stand, those covered seats at the back look more appealing don't they, but just because they remove the covers doesn't imply that the stand is full just an attitude from fans trying to avoid having to actually look for an available seat. Yesterday it mayve looked full from your point of view but it was only just half full!!

As I've said in a previous post Hull fans were a credit to their club, in numbers and behaviour.

as i've posted elsewhere its quite clear the stand was just over half full,and like i also said,well done to the ones who came,but lets not pretend you filled the stand like some hull fans claim ( as usual).
also to shirl, if the police were advised that 2500 were coming by coach thats a hell of a lot of coaches?

8 coaches. They must have been crammed on them like sardines.

The other 3000 were hiding under the stand !

Looks like the 3 main sections in the pic were pretty much full and the other one half full. How many more sections aren't in the pic?

about 2 and a half.
Although why you have to keep going on about your support is beyond me. we have all acknowledged it is better than ours. Cant you go off and get a better caravan than your neighbours or compare cock sizes with your mates. You are all becoming a bit tedious now and we have got to deal with your inbred cousins for the next week.

Cheer up mate, I hear big ken is paying for your passes again next season

the tops and middles of those 3 centre sections were busy but the fronts were sp as were the end sections

TBH I don't think our away support is that bad compared to other clubs. Having been to all but one away match this season yeah it is the same faces but they're the consistant ones so we have a steady base of fans who follow away! And thats steadily increasing so it's not all doom and gloom.

While our away support increases other clubs away following is decreasing, many other clubs used to say we were an expencive ground to come to as their excuse for not traveling but it's now that, we're one of the cheapest, especially if it's families attending, yetthe away stand is having less and less away fans attending. Leeds for instance used to bring upto 6000 meaning that other areas would be needed yet the last time they came not even half that amount. Bradford were another. So while the away following is decreasing our home attendance is still increasing at the same time.

People will continue to criticise until it is so blatantly obvious to all that we're better than we were that there will be an epiphany and they will start chucking crap at someone else. I look forward to that day.

Almost right - they will just look for another reason to chuck crap at us!
