About 500 of them yesterday which is I think the worst away following we have had this season at the CBS.
They did win the prize for the most embarrassing song though telling us our support is Fckn Shit. Embarrasing and they never sang it again after they were put in their place with come in a taxi

The early kickoff time wouldn’t have helped either.

And fair fucks to all who came, to be honest.

Think all of us outside of the soulless so-called "top six" tourist clubs, know what it's like supporting a club having a shit time/season and still going.

Credit to all of them. Pinned to the bottom, £30 adult. This snobbery towards away followings should stop. Short memories as well, since most of us have travelled and been part of low attendances.

Yep, I’ve been in some very barren away ends - Pre League 1 title winning season our away attendance was pretty dross

Yes some fans tend to forget during our bad times we had some poor away support , yes it's been good for about a decade or so now but before that some miserable followings

I’d say it’s a bit sooner than a decade!

We took a fair few to local/big matches but I’ve seen us at places like Scunny and Colchester with barely 500 of us making the journey

I remember us taking a really poor number to Leeds away one boxing day (less than 1500), during early championship years.

That would seem unthinkable now.

Not an easy journey. About 50 of them at the back made more noise than we did until the 60th minute.

700 seems low these days where away attendances are so high across the league. We've always been blessed with having huge away followings at the CBS/Ricoh but it's been dropping this season. Too expensive for people to bring their kids.

Considering the dross they have to watch 700 is a magnificent showing from the Hull fans.

If thats the game where Dennis Wise scored with an overhead kick i was there, i'd have put the number even lower.

Remember the concourse being near deserted at HT and not even having to queue up to go for a pee

Walked to the ground from the engine with a load. Every single one of their songs was about how shite they are. I'm sure they really really meant it when they said our support was shite. No sarcasm at all.

There were a couple of Hull fans singing "75 days with a win, 75 days without a win"
Have always found Hull fans down to earth and one of my favourite away games....they're always willing to chat football and have a laugh, even at their own expense sometimes

I saw a couple of them on there trimmed up Vespa doing a lap of perimeter of Tesco's, they either had space on a coach for it or it would be pretty cold for them coming down, unless they live locally as the driver just had a short sleeved shirt on top of some other long sleeved affair,his bird was at least wearing a jacket!

Exactly. i was a regular away fan in the late 70s and the early 80s in the Division 1 days and our support was all too often dire i.e. no more than a couple of hundred. 1st time I heard the ‘taxi’ song was at Old Trafford last game of the season in 1980, sung at us. I remember going to Sunderland away in the early 80s for a 3pm KO on a Saturday and there was less than 100 of us.

Credit to anyone who travels away to support their team. To all those fans who regard our support as great, just remember it wasn't always this way.

It was seriously quiet in the first half on Saturday. Genuinely felt like a pre-season game.

Too expensive? Maybe Doug could be informed, he’s a proper businessman you know!

I live 10 miles west of Hull, and it’s not a nice drive down and back (although some of the 50mph limits have gone from the M1 now).

As others have said, they’re not a bad bunch of fans. Very self-deprecating, as most Hull/ East Yorks folk are. Certainly more so than anyone from West Yorkshire and Manchester.
