Hcc claims 2000 wovers fans turned up

I think 1 extra zero was added kindly to their tweet

Re: Civic Reception Watch : Mon Aug 31, 2015 3:44 pm  

I openly admitted I wanted KR to win, but having watched the match whilst visiting the folks & their sorry demise I've had a grin on my face since and laughing out loud at some of the extremely funny jibes/posters/flags/cartoons at the expense of KR and their fans.
It will definitely put to bed any of the never won at wembley/getting nilled at Wembley comments from our 6 fingered 'friends'

Would they try to hide their shame by asking 50 taxis to sponsor them next year???

Hull City Council reckon 1k to 2K but if you counted them yourself well done. How can you tell though from being in the "crowd"?

It's "Queen Victoria Square" by the way.

You live in dream world! If they'd been realistic and said "approx. 1,000" I could have got on board with it, but to say 2,000 just puts the cherry on the cake of a fantastic weekend.

From fans on Friday saying "at least we won't get nilled" to an ex-Hull FC player scoring 5 tries to a record defeat at Wembley and in a final!

Then when you think it couldn't get any better, Bobby Bubbles turns up!

And to today, piddling down rain and less than 1,000 fans to welcome home the biggest losers in the City's history and to hear of your chairman quoting Roosevelt in his speech! Well, this is, without doubt the best Rugby weekend i've had without FC playing.

I want to thank your chairman, your coach and your players for a truly magnificent 48-72 hours. And lastly to you, the fans - without your biting, bitterness and flustered responses on all forms of social media and message boards it wouldn't have been the weekend it was.

Thank you.

Nil Hudgell quoting Roosevelt as well. What an egotist.
