    I really wanted to get to this game, unfortunately family Birthdays get in the way. Be upstanding for the Shoreham Air Disaster fatalities.

    It was also another new ground tick - blasted fixture picker!

    Yeah but even in the second tier of English football our attendances are the same or slightly higher than the combined attendances of both Rugby League clubs and they are playing in the top league.

    It doesn't feel like it from inside either to be fair. Like he said, we're similar.

    We've never had much success here, we only got to the top tier for the first time a few years ago. In that environment I doubt any place would build up a great tradition of support. In the golden era of football supporting back in the late 40s/early 50s we could get 40,000/50,000, maybe the prices were more affordable then as well

    We've been rubbish so far this season (other than the first half against Fulham), yet we're still second in the league.

    Our squad is much better than has been evident in their performances to date, that has to change at some point, hopefully it will be today.

    Though some of that can be due to management as well.

    Quite a few sports teams have been in Hull, so you could easily say it's a sports city.

    Well not quite the 2-0 I expected which was disappointing but we will take the 3 points.

    Anyway good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you enjoyed your day out at our multi award winning stadium.

    Yes thanks - ran from the ground and beat most of the rush!
