Tubbylards had 4970 at the KC tonight!!!

What happened there then? This is the manufactured climax to the season isn't it? How come it wasn't a sell-out?

 

Flicked it over and had a quick look thought it looked sparse. But that is really bad.

 

It was raining

 

They sold over 5,000 tickets but less than 5,000 turn up!
In any kind of weather eh?

 

Did they win? Or **** up the pitch?

 

Rugby

 

Crowd was ****, was always going to be lower than normal with passholders having to pay, last week's performance and the rain, was a good game though.

And the pitch was fine.

 

"Ticket sales smash through the 5000 barrier"



But seriously...

 

Bit sad to gloat about a local teams lack of support.

 

It isn't when the city make out their massive and treated us like **** for years.

 

Hull City got a mention too - saying Steve Bruce should be watching the lad Shoal? Shaul? ...looked like he was playing an old-fashioned sweeper position in football. Kicked it more than anything too.

 

Have an excuse for 2 passholders who missed this match- my sister-in-law and her husband. They were flying back to Hull after being out here to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday and our 45th wedding anniversary.

 

Congrats on the wedding anniversary! I wasn't having a go at anyone, it's the wrong place to do it for starters! Everyone has their reasons, but I've been going all season, I'm not going to miss the first game of the play offs that's for sure.

It's o/t but I fancy our chances against giants next week.

 

its a bit of a **** making passholders pay for the playoff matches ,
i'd say its still part of the season and precisely what they are paying for through the season
(a stupid playoff tournament that decides the winner of a league , that for us mere football fans are content with !!)

 

A meaningless game played in driving rain. Shown Live on sky sports wont have helped either. Surprised that many went to the game myself.

Thankfully not much pitch damage was caused by it.

 

as a matter of interest.....what was the tigers lowest ever attendance in the bad old days of b.p.

 

i remember being part of a 2000 odd crowd against hartlepool (i think)

 

What has that to do with it? City's lowest was when people were boycotting the game in a mickey mouse tournament when we were in the 4th divisionLast night was a game to continue on the road to Old Trafford for the grand final between two top flight teams in a supposedly rugby mad city.

 

My husband says that a mid-week Chester City match in Dec 1996 attracted 553 fans but was not a league match.
