Maybe all these 'city' supporters who are ferociously defending the sport of rl (despite the thread being about something else) belong to those many thousands who took the piss out of city for years and years and became part of the media attack on our club, often sharing and circulating down right lies about us, only to jump on the band wagon when we started to do alright again? Maybe this is their guilt coming out?

Maybe some like both sports but i agree that a lot of RL fans wished us ill 30 years ago.
****ing idiots they where and sums up Hull to a Tee.
 
I think the overall attendance for the weekend was 58,000 althought I could have misheard. This was a Super Weekend record, apparently. Good crowd for Hull, Rovers support seemed a bit more sparse (and not in a great part of the stadium) although they were quite vocal when they went ahead. Given that Hull v Rovers was the last game of the weekend, the crowd did thin out a lot especially during the second half. Journalist has obviously spun the attendance figure to make a headline...it's not the first time.

I think the Super Weekend is a fantastic concept. £20 for the day (all three games if you wish).You can come and go as you please and drink beer at your seat (you can sit where you want in your area). All six sets of fans mixed perfectly harmoniously as far as I could see. Just imagine a Super Weekend of Man City, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal. Admittedly, you'd need a very large stadium but I suspect crowd control could be a challenge (cue someone to post an image of Rugby League fans fighting).

I just did the Sunday but I'll probably do both days next year and make a weekend of it. St James is a great location for this kind of event as it's a short walk to town. Easy to find negatives (and, lets face it, fellow Hulensians: we are quite good at that) but there's a lot about this event which I'd love to see in (Association) football. The game (i.e. League) does seem to be struggling a bit which I find a shame: I prefer watching it to Union. Still CTID.

Bit of a sad post, that. Maybe folk have grown up, you might try it, moving on is good for the soul. Fortunately I don't judge all Association Football supporters on the basis of your posts (despite the thread being about something else).

No such photo exists. I could post one of football fans attending rugby games and fighting.

Some of us have been to Sid James Park before to see Hull City so we know where it is situated. The last time I was there to see City the crowd WAS over 50.000 and they all paid top pops. But the crowd never got a mention before the game, or after it for that matter because it wasn't deemed important enough. But it is thought important enough to make a trailer on RH and repeat it several times a day in the days leading up to the game when its RL, even though it is not true.
The photograph in todays HDM shows a shot of the Hull derby and the stand behind the players is completely empty.

Give it a rest ffs ... The sports can't be compared financially, they are not even in the same ball park as sports.

You really are bitter and twisted aren't you; what was the point of that comment - good for you for setting the board right on your experience! <doh> Others might not have been.
