Agree.....if Hull, HKR, or City weren't skint, they'd have to be a stewards enquiry..Nothing new whatsoever. City, Hull FC and KR are , and always have been, skint on a regular Mr Micawber basis.
Ours is 553 against Chester, with a figure to 10k claiming they were there, I was.
Be careful people will be accusing you of being a superfan. I amongst ten other hardly souls were matchball sponsors that night. Think we got another below 1,000 attendance too at another of the auto windscreen, mickey mouse trophy games about that time.Ours is 553 against Chester, with a figure to 10k claiming they were there, I was.
Indeed, on the other side of the coin I was 'elsewhere' on May 3rd 1980, to my eternal regret, hey ho.
in 74/75 season city got beat away 4-0 by notts forest (they hate being called that) 5-0 by notts county and 6-0 v aston villa (they hate being called that)
so next season obviously they were the priority games to go to.
i went to notts forest where we lost again and notts county (night match where we amazingly won whilst they were top)
and cos villa had gone up the next time we played them was 10 years later but i went to that and remember saying to trog in the bogs at half time only losing 1-0 " i reckon we can do em second half" to which he agreed.
sadly their kick and rush style worked another 4 times.
i was at city v southend? at the turn the lights off game. but for most of the 90's i said fcuk that its **** so missed the low attendance games. loads of times in the early mid 70's i went away with city and despite us being in the second division there were sometimes only a handful of fans there.
i think forest away city supporters club tried to take 2 coaches but could only fill one and so on the way home everyone piled onto one coach apart from maybe 5 of us who stayed on the other coach and thats the least ive ever seen on one coach.
was a bad decision as there were no dirty mags passed around cos everyone was either gay or too tight or had numerous lady friends to satisfy their gentlemanly cravings.
it was very crap being a city fan in those days.
in fact thinking about it, it was very crap just being alive back then.

True but they where also simpler tlmes and most people seemed happy to get on with things even though there wasn't the amount material possessions we have today .
Do you want some mags
If the age of the Internet and instant global communication is responsible for one thing - and it isn't - it's the fact that you never see randomly discarded copies of Razzle or Fiesta in hedgerows any more.
I do wonder where people get their information on classic cars from these days, and why they didn't make the pages with the ladies on out of the same stuff those articles were on, so they didn't stick together.
Saying as you've taken this thread off an a right tangent ..... talking of magazines ..... I was subscribing to a 2 or 3 magazines in hard copy format (What Car, The Week, Computer Active). I more recently changed them to digital subscriptions - a bit of a trade off being not as nice to read but far cheaper. But I've recently found out that I've been spending money unnecessarily. I can now read them all digitally (and hundreds more, and newspapers if I wanted to) for FREE, via a free membership with East Riding Libraries. I'm now cancelling all the digital subscriptions and moving over to this free service (well, not totally free as we do pay via our Council Tax). Gob smacked to see what there is there for free.
No one ever did, I can only imagine that the newsagent chucked the out of date copies in the hedge bottoms when the latest edition arrived.
