Why does announcing have anything to do with it? I don't know their motivation for doing it, I just know I was there and saw it happen. Its much more likely that its used to aid their bid to attract sponsors, advertisers and investors.
Once again MR Hat confirms that he is nothing but an eggchasing troll. A look in the history books will confirm that Hull City are bigger than Hull FC despite the Tigers historic underachievement. He obviously never seen Hull City play at Huddersfield (old and new grounds) because we have took a lot more than 3000 there on numerous occasions. Even in the bottom division we have took over 3000 fans to their new stadium. Also in the lower leagues we have took 6000 to Bradford and 8000 to Sheff Wed (figures FC can only dream about). The reason we took 400 to Huddersfield last time was because the game was rightly being boycotted by City fans because of the ridiculous travel restrictions enforced on us by West Yorkshire Police. By the way Hat, where you at Huddersfield alongside 400 other FC fans when your beloved FC were thrashed by 70 odd points in the play offs the other year? Please do us all a favour MR Hat and restrict your incessant ramblings to your beloved RL message boards. Hull City fans have had enough of you ripping all aspects of the mighty Tigers to pieces.
City have to travel outside Yorkshire for all our away games as there are no Yorkshire teams playing to our level, we managed to take the same away support as Hull FC as far as Manchester, to the English champions, without fuss the same week as the mythical eggchasing started again and beat them over 90 minutes in front of 45K, thats the same stadium where eggshasing desperately tries to have 'magic weekends'. ARF.
I must admit, when I read your post it'd been up half an hour without a bite. I also thought it a weak effort, but now stand corrected. Obviously patience is the key when fishing! See ya down the boulevard Mr Hat
City took 400 to Huddersfield because the fans boycotted the game as well you know. As for 'bigger and better' supported club. Very funny. Probably your funniest post of all time. Does knowing that Hull City are amongst the 20 richest clubs in the World upset you?
FFS, The South of France. 99% of the games are around the M62 corridor and all the other franchises that have been propped up away from that area have eventually fell flat on their faces. As will Les Catalan eventually. The game is not even played on the South Bank of the Humber! Its a minority category B sport. Like table tennis. Admit it.
Are you deliberately being a bit dense? The crowd which is given is the total crowd. Which turnstiles you go through is irrelevant. If FC fans went through the home turnstiles or the away turnstiles the crowd announced would still be the same total.
This statement is outfuckingreagous. You obviously meant "City took 400 real fans to Huddersfield, who despite personal safety concerns from the heavy handed police state there,and who endured proper hardship and potential police brutality to see the game, rather than just pretend they were protesting whilst sitting at home watching the game on the tele." I'll accept an online apology.
Actually no. Parked a bit further away, though me car was probably safer, still saw and supported the team in an important game despite some minor inconvenience and didn't pretend I couldn't be arsed because it was on tele. I'd love to know what you think was achieved by staying away, even though you and a lot of others would have stayed away anyhow. Not exactly sticking it to the man is it, being angry online, then sitting back with a cold beer in your living room?
