Pathetic Away Support by Giants : Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:36 pm  

There can't have been more than 200 there today?

I think it's pretty shoddy, I have no idea what there average home gate is (6000 as a wild guess?), that means about 3% of fans go to away games.

On the other hand I'm guessing FC take about 2000 to the Galpharm, prob about 16% of the average home gate.

I know both Hull teams are renowned for having great away support but having a decent away crowd at home games adds to the atmosphere, for me and thought it was a pathetic effort.

For a team that can play some pleasing on the eye rugby and have really progressed over the last few years and now challenging, the team deserves better support IMO.

I do wonder if the recent 'coach bricking' incidents is starting to put people off, which would be a real shame.

As many as 200?

Re: Pathetic Away Support by Giants : Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:37 pm  

2400 we took this year I think. No value in going to away matches at £20+ a pop when you get a full season at the pharm for that

With Hull's ticket prices are you surprised? people are saving the money to buy their next 10 years worth of season tickets with complimentary jizz stained shirt thrown in and still have enough for a match day pint.

No need for the coat pal, thought that was quite sharp for a Sunday evening... and if your like me and have had 6 pints and a roast beef dinner and feeling quite lethargic?!

Is it time to start charging less for away fans/families and getting them through the gate?

1000 at £10 each is better than 200 at £20....
