i used to watch rovers despite being based in west hull because two pals were rovers they also used to go to city . This being the early 80s it was at a time when city were pretty ****e and hull had the two best rugby league teams in the country.
I also went to hull Vikings in the days of Ivan major and bobby Beaton though to be honest I found it pretty boring ( bar the crashes ) but in those days early to mid 70s it was a novelty and did not clash with city.
In one respect of course people were likely to follow other sports and the city was blessed with decent teams in sport other than football.
The truth today however is that we have a more than half decent football team rugby is a summer sport and speedway has died a death
I believe that the only reason city are not selling out the KC is due to the ticket price .
I've little doubt if / when we go up well get back the missing thousands lured by the glamour of the premier league
In the meantime I think it's great it POTD at bury I suspect we'll take well in excess of 3,000 maybe closer to 4,000 and unlike at say the etihad or SJP we won't be stuck up in the gods great day out awaits curry and beer down rusholme tram to bury old school atmosphere cracking cup tie city win buy a pound of bury black pudding home for the high lights bliss
