According to joel clinton in an interview on stortsdrivell. He said the atmosphere in the first derby was good, but last night "Blew him away".

Said they could hardly hear each other on the pitch.

Twenty thousand people in an enclosed space register higher on the decibel scale than ten thousand people in an open space.

And people say that Rugby League players are just big thick lads.

You were a good Rugby League player before you lost your leg weren't you Jake the Peg.

You appear to have your leg statistics confused.

You should google jake the peg mate, I think you'll be surprised how many legs he has

Noise does not = atmosphere, ask anyone who attended a world cup match

He must be a big thick rugby player

Diddle, iddle iddle um

Just googled "stortsdrivell" to see what it is, alas nothing came up

Aye, fair play. I hold my hands up to having an inferior knowledge of Rolf Harris songs to people from the wrong side of The Chocolate River's tributary. Oh, the shame.

The acoustic point still stands.

Atmosphere is subjective, personally the atmosphere for me was better last week against Leeds, things in our end were fairly subdued due to us being on the back foot for most of the game.

I do have to concede, and I've thought this since our first proper trip over to the shiny citadel, that on Derby Day, the sea of black and white makes a great spectacle as an away fan.

This is totally off (whatever this topic this is) topic but I really do love people from both sides of the City giving it large to the other teams fans and then spotting a friend/family member and suddenly waving to them in the friendliest terms ever. Could anyone from outside Hull really explain that?

You must of been near me when i spotted the wife and sis inlaw in the west stand..

The Derby is what sets us aside. How great is it. Yep, the bragging rights are ours for now, but I am sure they will be yours again.
I was loving (a few) non proper city fans jibes to me. They can only dream as can many of what we have. A proper city sporting rivarly. A proper one. How good is that.

Ps I hope you wallow and die in misery especially cockayne

Lowest derby crowd at KC too.......nothing to do with us i believe

Looked to be rovers lowest turnout for a KC derby to me. I'm guessing 3000 to 3200 or so in the North (which only holds 4000 when reserved, so unreserced take off 10% and there were 2 sections closed off for segregation) and a smaller number in west stand than usual. About 5000 I'd have thought rathere than the usual 6000 which are there and Hull were probably 2000 or so down.

Not unexpected with it being switched to Thursday

was my first time at KC for derby thought atmosphere was grt was not impressed with the little geeks in chav corner wud prob say more than half not wearing they're black and white shirts wonder why, and i certainly wud not enter into buying another pint of lager from there yuk disgusting, big modern ground like that and they serve cr@p like that, rest of supporters fantastic tho..

Well said, as for your ps, we think the same, just replace Cockayne with Yeaman.

The upper west had large empty spaces, which i believe was given to Rovers!! (putting the banter to one side it was never going to be a sell out on a Thursday due to other commitments etc)

If this is true, can you arrange to have it delivered to our place by next weekend, we could do with a few more seats!

BTW, we were given 500 tickets for it, which were all sold.

why?have you managed to get capacity yet this season?

covered seating is full for every match. can't even get restricted view seats anymore

.

Why does the game being played on a Thursday affect anything? What are people doing on Thursday which stop s them going yet they can on a Friday?

Wigan v Warrington was altered at the same time as the FC vRovers game. Yet they got 22,700 (in a town of 90,000) compared to the 20,079 at the biggest derby in the universe and everywhere else.

Is it only Hull rugby fans who can't alter arrangements with 2 weeks notice? Everyone else in rugby, and football, seem to manage.

Oh believe me, it was. Why did the derby not sell out at CP? There were empty seats in the north stand. Despite our shocking 2 previous seasons, our attendances have still increased, i think that tells it's own story.

Both sets of fans were down on previous derbys. Rovers get an allocation of 3100 for the North stand and there was about 500 in the west. Where as the south side of the west stand upper was almost empty

well thats funny because when i just googled "sportsdrivel" 'Jake the Peg' came up.......................

working???

Absolute classic!!!!
They bring 600 to last years derby at Craven park, then have the nerve to bitch about how many our attendance was down, for a game moved to a mid week kick off when many have work commitments etc.

First derby I've missed (on me hols) but before I went I thought jimmy the tool was saying there were less than 1000 tickets left for sale, upper west only?? What was the attendance, can't believe tool would employ spin of that kind..
