Hull fans

[Copps is Magic]

Poor turn out that! Reckon we'd take more for a premier league play off.

[Chris Black come back]

Nowt new to them though, playing the top flight.

For Wendies it is a distant memory.

[BillyStubbsTears]

All I've heard in the media all f**king week is "this match is worth £170m."

Anybody remember when promotion to the top flight used to be about pride rather than the chance to act as a sewer pipe connecting Murdoch's arse to the voracious mouths of the world's football agents.

[LongbridgeMGRover]

BST...have you ever seen 'the Human Centipede', because that is exactly what you are describing!?!?

[MrFrost]

Poor turn out that! Reckon we'd take more for a premier league play off.

We took just shy of 25k for League One, although there were well over 1000 Leeds in our end.

Not sure we'd sell out if it was a Championship final

[coventryrover]

Give Wednesday credit though as they're the ones creating the atmosphere

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Wednesday fans been absolutely brilliant, has the hull fans even turned up?

[Copps is Magic]

Its the Donny Owls I feel for.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

The Owls fans turned up. The team didn't. You wonder if they treated it too much as a day out rather than a football match.

[Nudga]

f**k Wednesday! Hate them.

[dickos1]

Hull are not a big club like Wednesday, if Wednesday get into prem they'd sell out week in week out

[Nudga]

Their fans think they have a divine right to be there because of what you said Dickos. w**kers.

[dickos1]

I know
I've loads of Wednesday fan mates, but they do have a big fan Base, and they aren't as bad as leeds fans for thinking like that

[RoversAlias]

You'd think Wednesday won based on how much everyone is going on about their fans.

Being loud doesn't win you football games, being good does. Hull were good today, Wednesday were not. Glad it ended the way it did.

[Akinfenwa]

The last season that Wednesday averaged over 30k attendances was 1967/68, and they have since spent 17 seasons in the top division. They are not as 'massive' as people make them out to be.

[roversdude]

Shame ..... Not

[arkseyrover]

Am with you 110% BST. Am sick to death of all the hype and the b*llux churned out in the name of football. It'll fill the local news next week with Calander and Look North showing all those ridiculous fans faces shouting and spouting at the camera and reporting it as if it's the event of the century. It's about time they got off their arses and found some real news instead of taking the easy option and reporting crap.

They left the premier league 16 years ago and they've averaged over 20k fans since then, in the championship and league 1,
Not many clubs would do that

[PDX_Rover]

A lot of mugs in Sheffield then it seems.

[BillyStubbsTears]

When we played Leeds at Wembley, there were only two forums whose members were overwhelmingly against us and in favour of the "big ckub". Forest and Wensdeh.

f**k 'em. Big club or no big club.

Yes, they have decent core support. But history suggests that they would struggle to 'sell out week in week out' as they haven't even come close to a 39k average in the modern era, not even when they were a good Premiership team in the 90s.

[Sammy Chung was King]

I'd like to have seen wednesday promoted today. Hull yo-yo back and forth between the leagues, it would have been interesting to see how wednesday went about being in that league.
I'm sick of the money side being constantly mentioned as well. The money takes care of itself, surely as a player you go to wembley and think no matter what, i am coming off that field in the winning team!-Shame Don King's not involved always left the ring with the winner!.

Carvahal has done some job there. Now expectation raises, his problem is to improve what he has, and make sure next year they do it!. It seemed to me the life was sucked out of all the best players because of the importance of the game. Not one top player really performed from what i have seen, and it took ex premier league quality in diame to settle it. Looking at wednesday they need a touch more fire power, maybe another winger and midfielder, and they would be around the top again!.

That's why Glad it ended the way it did.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Worth remembering the budget Wednesday have now, clearly makes a huge difference. But still tough for them to match the relegated sides.  Tough for anyone with Newcastle, villa and Norwich coming down. Arguably the 3 biggest clubs in that league.

could not agree more!

[acko]

Like it or not there is a lot of money in the prem now,parachute payments certainly helps relegated clubs it means they can hold on to players who would have left,much like the rovers players jumping ship when relegated from championship.The truth of the matter is within a short period of time there will be prem 1 and 2 lower than that its going to be tough to stay full proffessinal clubs

[silent majority]

I suppose that what happens when you have an owner who despises the fans that support the club. Name changes, wishing the fans would die and cancelling all concession tickes hardly endears the club to its fan base.

Added to that they have two professional rugby league clubs to contend with, and attracting a gate of 12,000 for a game played at the same time yesterday would have bitten into the support that was available.

[acko]

Ithink your probably right SM rugby in hull has certainly grown in support in the last few seasons

[RedJ]

I'd like to have seen wednesday promoted today.

Why?

Looks like Mr Allam won't be their owner much longer. He's looking to sell up, but I heard he's very seriously ill anyway.
