    Hull crowd

    I guess we could get closer if we looked at what Bradford City have done lately. £150 (I think - rushing to 190 next year?) season ticket for level 4 football. They get an average of 16000 plus now and they’ve got every factor against them: -“Glamorous” Neighbour in Prem. -Bradford Bulls...

    Hull crowd

    Comparing attendances from now to yesteryear should always be looked at objectively. Up until relatively recently, the number of people actually in a ground was under declared more often than not. Cash through turnstiles often went to Chairman who would pocket some, top up wages so players...

    Hull crowd

    Some excellent points made over the last few posts. I do recall Doug King’s surprise that there were 30000 students at Warwick University. Is that a 10000 per year turnover? What about Cov Uni? The Uni tie-in had potential. Selling Ryton and having our base there with a mini-stadium (for u21...

    Hull crowd

    I think there’s an element of ground location that restricts casual fans (who might then catch the bug). At HR folks could just make a last minute decision to go to town and walk up and pay on the gate, catch a match, walk back into town and get home or go on the lash / for a curry / both. No...

    Mark Robins

    I mean, that team by any measure is poor af. Stokes was “ok”, we got a decent fee for Stevenson who then I think hasn’t done much - the rest? It’s no wonder we went down. Robins has done wonders for us. He himself came back to the club after a year being jobless after being sacked by...

    Gyokeres fee

    £1.4 wasn’t it? We needed cash there and then for the pitch?

    Very. 3 points in the real world worth more than any internet “told you so” points. Wasn’t a prophecy per se, just a “that’d just be our luck that he stopped us getting 3 points and at the end of the season we a 2 points short of the play-offs” That said, the Huddersfield front line looked...

    Hamer breaking up play

    Having given it a coat of looking at, Hamer played box-to-box midfielder today in a 3-5-2. I’m sure you know this. He could, if required, play as an attacking midfielder very ably. I’m sure you know this too. For those that understand these things, no explanation is needed. For those...

    Fella named “Baldy” derides man for lack of eyebrows. End of days.

    Gyokeres fee

    If we achieved the impossible, he’d be the only thing to stop us getting relegated.

    It’s the obvious thing to do. You score, you should more often than not keep your place. It wasn’t the hardest chance but at the end of the day he did his job and put it in the net. Wouldn’t surprise me if Walker got his finger out for the rest of the season. End of contract - shop window and...

    Hamer breaking up play

    Not long ago he was quoted as an £8m player and many on here (you know who you are) laughed. £8m is a huge undervaluation on current form.

    You may be right. I like Warnock though for some reason. He’s a complete c***, knows it, doesn’t care. Brilliant.

    He’ll create a siege mentality there soon and the players will start fighting for each other. Plus couple of teams around might get points deductions. Never write him off. He’s a character and the game will be poorer without him.

    Unless Doyle is LB and JWE in the CM somehow. The team notes seem to say such.
