9,782 by the end of the match😁 A shockingly poor turnout from the locals.Quote:

That it's not a shockingly poor turnout, it's a fully expected low turnout being that they're boycotting the club :shrug:Quote:

When are the council extending the ground?
Didn't realise that. Apparently they had 7000 'through the doors' against Blackburn.Quote:

Thanks for proving my point.Quote:

Biggest worry for me these days is that our Family Stand seems to be getting sparser and sparser. Ninian and Canton always fullish but compared to 7/8 years ago the Family Stand must be down thousands
I suppose it all hinges on the consensus of what defines the terms "mid table" and "just over two years ago". Hull finished 13th last year, so that's bang on. The 2016/17 season ended on May 21st. So that's 2 years and 4 months. I suppose it's up for debate, but it works for me.Quote:

Why do you feel the need to be so rude?Quote:

Not always the reason admittedly, but I hear quite a bit of those that have bought season tickets in the Family Stand for their child or grandchild, that never attend. Not sure how the security checks work at the ticket office, but some may even be phantom junior members, to allow the adult a slightly cheaper ST.Quote:
