Great first half, second half we started to look tired, would be easy for me to sit there and say McCann this McCann that and say I wouldn't of made this or that sub but I guess all the time we grind out the result and another clean sheet there's not much to say. Still not a fan of magennis though. Some excellent football, passionate defending and you can only beat what's in front of you. UTT

A report that the Royal Albert Hall is resuming posh concerts at 56% capacity which is over 3000, it’s a political decision to stop supporters going to watch sport, not scientific, the Tory scum have always hated football fans, guarantee, the rugger lot will be let in first

Apart from the years Duffens_Briefs mentioned they spent 5 years in the top flight before WW1.
If they had not been in the top flight we never would have been the biggest city never to have been there as Bristol is a lot larger place than Hull.
Bristol have one thing right compared to Hull - they have 2 football clubs and 1 rugby club.

It’s Wakefield then that have the largest City to not have a team represented in the top flight.

Population 345k (2018)

or perhaps it doesn't. this is confusing. wiikipedia says the population of wakefield is 99k. it also says "the City of Wakefield is a local government district in West Yorkshire, England, with the status of a city and metropolitan borough. Wakefield is the district's administrative centre. The population of the City of Wakefield at the 2011 Census was 325,837. The district includes the ‘Five Towns’ of Normanton, Pontefract, Featherstone, Castleford and Knottingley. Other towns include Ossett, Hemsworth, South Kirkby and Moorthorpe and South Elmsall. The City and borough are governed by Wakefield Metropolitan District Council."

Wakefield 99,251
Normanton 20,872
Pontefract 30,881
Featherstone 15,244
Castleford 40,210
Knottingley 13,503
Osset 21,231
Hemsworth 13,311
South Kirby & Moorthorpe 11,105
South Elmsall 6,519

which comes to around 271k, so a few more villages required to get to 325k, and more still to get to 345k.

there's a site here that lists the 1000 largest uk cities and towns by population. it lists wakefield at 104,757. above that are several places that have not even had league teams never mind top division sides, including warrington (172k), slough (164k), york (162k), poole (159k), telford (149k), cambridge (149k), etc. no sign of croydon on the list; it claims a population of 192k with croydon borough having 385k.

all too complicated.
 
A really enjoyable game to watch, somewhat spoilt for me as the internet here was playing up and a lot of buffering. Rather annoying to get the alert on my phone that we scored only to see it 5 minutes later. Cue switch off my phone.

Having said that, still enjoyed the match, credit to both sides to dish up and entertaining game, I thought both sides played some really good football, and we just deserve to win it on balance.

Hard to pick a MOTM, no one had a bad game, I really like Adelakan, has a really good eye for a pass, and will only get better. Docherty had his best game for us, Honeyman was his usual busy self, Emmanuel was very good again & Batty was steady, and the 2 centre backs were excellent.

Special mention for KLP, he is getting better each game, and the cross for the goal was sublime.

4 wins and 4 clean sheets what's not to like.

That is stretching the boundaries. The city population is less than 100,000. Under the same basis Hull's population is about 500,000 and Bristol's over 700,000.
