There is a more logical explanation about why it looked more empty than usual (unless VoR's friend actually did count every single person). It was raining, heavy rain too so people who usually sit at the bottom of the stands which isn't covered much moved further on up, over the roof, so the stands (it was very noticeable from East looking towards South) looked only half full. Usually people spread out, leave a sit or two between them and strangers but everyone packs together when it rains. Just an observation.

Hull fc v Leigh 14th aug. 2005 att. 6,576

Probably didn't go to the Boulevard??

Same way he is now a lost supporter to the game/club and not to be seen again on here

7 crowds under 10k in league matches in 2005

As money is a bit tight for me at the minute, and due to the last game "performance" I shall not be going. Does this make me a bad person?

Thats 3 from this side of the water not going then, if the players cant be bothered why should i be?.

So your a fan not a supporter then

(tongue firmly in cheek)

And banned from here too. Bloody part-timers

Our last sub 10k attendance in regular season games was against Warrington in July 2006 - ironically the last of the thirteen match winning sequence and also the last of Richard Horne's record equalling eleven match try scoring run.

We've had 97 successive five figure attendances in the regular season rounds.

Impressive.

I don't think attendances are 100% accurate as a few weeks ago the BBC website and the 2 rugby papers all have a different attendance for a Hull game

Why on earth would FC announce more fans at the game than there is, we have to give half of the money above 7500 to the SMC don't we.

Saying that I am missing the first game of the season home and away tonight but that is due to the fact I am in London or I would be there.

That says more about the BBC and the two rugby papers to me than accurate attendance. Hull tend to put the attendance in the match report. Not difficult to find.

I don't think they deliberately fiddle the numbers, just that they include every pass holder, sponsor etc who doesn't attend, count every cheerleader, programme seller etc and announce that.

there was no way 10,200 bums on seats last week, but nor are the club inventing numbers up.

9k tonight I reckon.

Is that with or without cheerleaders?

Wrong everybody that passes by the turn style is registered FACT Told to a meeting were the ground staff were guests

and you believe everything you are told in meetings?

38 here from salford so far.

Who cares really ? Apart from the dobbins

Seen that you have highlighted the word FACT in uppercase, it must be true.



I could play the devils advocate and say "Lets take the turn style figures and then plus the difference on with missing pass holders".......nah don't think that will work.



FACT: If you want to respond to OP comments keep it on subject.......The Boulevard days, FACT.

Attendance 9,821 which is a shame but it doesn't take the gloss off an important win.

String together some wins and the supporters will return.

at least the crowd made some atmosphere this week, it took several bad decisions from the ref to get it going, but at least there was some noise for once

Didn't hear it announced at the game mate did you or is that off the bbc website ?

First sub 10k crowd for a league game for many a long year

They announced it at the game.
