    As tempting as it is to turn this into another dig at Ehab & Co (because they make it so easy really), the home attendances both at City and other Championship clubs seems to have fallen remarkably in the last season or two, once normally full grounds are almost half empty.

    Who would have thought that the aggregate attendances for the games below would have been like this?
    There certainly seems something "wrong" with football at the minute. The prices? the attitude to fans? the cost of TV subscriptions at home (choosing SKY & BT over going to the ground?)

    This is just one snapshot going back to the same period 10 years ago. I bet most Championship clubs could do similar comparisions. Just goes to shown how easy it is to take customers for granted in any business.

    2015/2016
    Hull City v Arsenal 5th Round FA Cup - 20,993
    Hull City v Forest - Crucial Game - 15,663
    TOTAL: 36,656

    2005/2006 - Finished 18th in Championship
    Hull City v Plymouth (11/3/06) 20,137
    Hull City v Crewe (18/3/06) 21,163
    TOTAL: 41,300
