Someone sent me this link earlier today. Apparently the typical City fan is a wealthy man over 60 who likes watching Pointless. https://yougov.co.uk/profiler#/Hull_City_A_F_C/demographics Edit: I should add that this is how City fans differ greatest from the overall football fan (ie. we have more wealthy, over 60 pointless watchers than other teams). It seems that most women are glory supporters as the big teams seem to have a disproportionate amount of them.
Hmm. Not sure about the sample set favorite sport is listed as Rugby League with Football a distant second! Also most likely pet is Bird. Who says it a cliche that all Northerners are Pigeon fanciers.

What a load of ****e. As an elderly Hull City white male I say this survey is Pointless. The only slight connection I have with these mythical 'Hull fans' is that I too like Ricky Gervais. The rest is total made-up bollocks........unless they surveyed the committee of the Cottingham Branch of HCSC ?
