Not a single song from the away end today.

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

relatively small town

Population of Hull is over a quarter of a million.

I'm not knocking their numbers, for a 5.20 ko on TV I thought it was actually pretty good.

BUT they were so quiet, you actually didn't know they were there.

They had a horn a few times, in reply the North sung "You can shove your fcuking horn up your arse".

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Really poor even for such few numbers, can think of only Barnsley as another candidate for the quietest ever.

 

[The Modfather]

Hull's numbers are to be applauded. When I first started going away with the Albion we took 200 Up North maximum.

Yep. We had about 200 at there place in late eighties

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Was that with their gates of 3500?

 

[The Modfather]

Possibly. Remember it being empty in every side of the ground. Funnily enough we packed it out towards the end of the play off season (90/91?) when Mark Barham scored a late winner

just goes to show how things can change-

 

[Pavilionaire]

Hull is a bigger city than their nearby neighbours Middlesbrough, who managed bigger numbers and much more noise.

Was at the Barham game. The first time I went to Hull was the late 80s and there was hardly anyone there. We lost (I think) 5-2 and I have vague memories of a comedy own goal.

 

[Eggmundo]

Seemed to be a nice mix of fans though, a lot of families and older generation. I could hear them in the Upper west occasionally.
TBF there wasn't much for them to sing about in the first half.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Absolute joke support.
Their team are currently in a play-off place, Saturday afternoon kick off and a nice stadium and they bring 800 fans. Awful support.

It was on TV. It was an evening KO which would have meant getting home late. We wouldn't take anymore to Hull under the same circumstances.

100% this!! Yes I know the thread title is about how quiet they were but for the people commenting on their numbers I doubt very much that we would take that man to a 5.20 ko on tv!

Remember the 5-2. Think it was Gatting with the own goal

 

[T soprano]

The quietest fans in Amex history.

"sing when your fishing , you only sing when your fishing "

 

[severnside gull]

they were quiet for sure but they were there! All power to their collective elbows.
Seemed a good bunch with a fair old mix and not just a bunch of yoofs intent on homophobic "jokes" and aggravation.
Whatever floats your boat I guess but it always seems that those who applaud a more anti-socisl away support are themselves camped at the other end of the ground

 

[middletoenail]

The west stand was like a morgue, as usual, so I'm not sure we should be pointing fingers.

 

[mikes smalls]

I had my first sensible conversation with an away fan on the train to Falmer yesterday. Made a nice change from the usual rubbish away fans come out with. If they want to sit there in silence that's their choice. For me Barnsley were the quietist so far.

And where do you sit?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

We only took 952 to Hull for our first league game this season and stunned the world with 477 at Burnley in the following away game-

Thats cos half of us were stuck on trains.

 

[middletoenail]

And where do you sit?

West Upper, block D.
