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.

<laugh> Jesus ****ing wept, you've got to put in some serious effort to be that far off the mark.

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?

It drew attention to the failings of West Yorkshire Police and made it far less likely that fans of other clubs would have to suffer the same ****e that we did.

It's what real fans do.
 
Happy Tiger said:
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.

Would you have gone if it was in December?

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.

I give up, its such a simple concept and you just can't comprehend it at all.

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?

There's a page of posts laughing at people biting to a quite obviously sarcastic comment yet you still reply to it and make a tit out of yourself, good effort!

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.

Bad example when Hull FC took more to the Magic Weekend than City did to play the PL champions.

Your point is completely correct, you just used a silly example.

Or when City played a FA Cup Semi Final on the same day as the (not very) Magic Week-End). Over 100 coaches left the KC for the football, 250 miles away, and 2 left for the rugby 70 miles away, on the same day, from the same place.
Are you sure you are on the right forum because you spend an unhealthy amount of time on here defending eggchasing and splitting hairs in an attempt to convince yourself that rugby league isn't a regional minority sport that is dying on its feet.?
Tell me, what is 'magic' about dragging all your local derbies to a football stadium miles away and playing them over week end with only two of the stands open ?

Well you don't seem able to grasp the concept. So I will put in simple terms for people of limited intellect.

4,500 Huddersfield fans pay in the home turnstiles and 3,000 FC fans pay in the away turnstiles and the crowd is announced as being 7,500. 4,500 Huddersfield fans pay in the home turnstiles, 1,000 FC fans also pay in the home turnstiles and 2,000 FCFans pay in the away turnstiles and the crowd is announced as 7,500. So there is no difference and only an idiot would think it boosts anything to attract investors, sponsors etc.

You obviously have no idea how some deals are structured then.

As I have said the crowd is the same however you gain entry to the ground. How does it alter what potential investors or sponsors think? So how does it affect how these deals are structured? You really are being stupid.
Do you know any 5 year olds who could explain it to you?

When a club approaches a sponsor/advertiser they compile these statistics as its usually of interest (especially for small, local companies) as to the the number of local people their advert will reach. They also give break downs of the demographic and geographical location. How that effects the deal/terms is down to the companies priorities I guess.

I only know because a friend works on the marketing team for Reading and that's part of his job.

He is probably using the same logic FC, the fans and even Richard Tingle trotted out in the HDM at the time when the 'Super' League idea was still been tossed about and the clubs allowed to be a part of it was being discussed.
The deluded said that FC should be allowed a franchise, not because they have a team/club who should be in based on ability and league position etc. But because they take more fans to away games.
Which in itself is a complete myth because it all based on guess work.
Even recently we saw BBC man Simon Clark make up his own figures, turning 2,300 ticket buying travelling away fans into 'Probably over 4,000'
They have always manipulated the figures to suit themselves.
If RL shrugged off the inferiority complex it suffers because of the popularity of football and to a lesser extent Rugby Union people like Airlie Tiger would have nothing to do all day, and the sport might stand on it's own two feet a bit more. Who knows even the 'mighty black and whites' here in Hull wouldn't have needed the subsidy they somehow arranged for themselves from Hull City ?
 
The cock waving over this is daft.

Rugby league is a minority sport, even in Hull.

That's not made up, it's a simple fact.
