Hull City fans

[RisingBlades]

What was wrong with the Hull fans after the game on Sunday?

All down Wemberley way, all the way through the station, and on the trains back, United fans singing, and we lost!
They are in the final, yet I didn't hear a song at all, pretty shit to be honest!

Big up JD

Its in the description - Hull Fans!

I am amazed that we didn't get a chorus of "marching on together", that is what most of them were singing until 5 years ago!

 

[vorpal blade]

I didn't hear one chorus of either;

"Tigers, tigers ra, ra, ra " nor "City Hull, City Hull, City Hull..... " by which we were oft serenaded back at Boothferry Park.

Could be the possibility this was only the first or second game a lot had ever been to, they don't know any songs yet!

 

[CarlingBlade]

Fair play to the few die-hard Hull fans but the reality is its a rugby town so the majority wouldn't have known any songs.

To be fair - when walking down to Wembley Park tube we seemed to outnumber them about 10 to 1 so they probably did well to just keep there heads down and get back to the tube - would have been quite intimidating as Greasy Chip Butty echoed under that bridge.

I felt similar, their first ever FA cup final and they just didn't seem that bothered. If United had won I can only imagine the scenes of jubilation...

Palace were similar too after the playoffs in 97, never seen a more ambivalent set of fans, Of all our big games, only Wolves fans and to some degree Huddersfield after the playoff games seemed genuinely excited by their achievements.

I loved their 'City till we die' song which came to life in the 2nd half. That should be City till about 2015 when we will become tigers till we die.

They sing this every game at 19 minutes and four seconds in (as they were formed in 1904) as a protest agaisnt the owner changing the name.

Can't say I heard it Sunday - may have been due to Jose Baxter baby scoring after 19 minutes and 2 seconds haha!

 

[Bladesman]

Only heard them when they scored.

That was it really.

I thought Hull fans were ok , after all they are Tigers not Pigs ,

Speaking to Hull fans on the tube back to St Pancras I commented they seemed quite depressed after reaching their First Final since 'god knows when'. To which I had a reply of "we live in Hull we find it hard to get excited"

Sounds like they are some fans that needed some drugs to perk them up. If they can't get excited at being in an FA Cup final, Europe and still remaining the Premier League then they don't deserve it.

That said I am sure most Hull fans are excited or at least I hope so.

By the behaviour of some of our supporters on Sunday, all the drugs were in the possession of the Sheffield lads.

I thought they'd just voted in favour of the name change.

Work with a Hull season ticket holder. All 18000 of them got a voted an only 3000 bothered voting. Of them just more than half voted 'for' the name change but there is still lots of vocal opposition.

Also wasn't a strict yes or no, it was like 'no name change' or 'happy to support the alam family and their ongoing plans for the club'.

Bottom line, a few thousand would have sang their city till we die song had our Jose not sent us to dreamland for a bit.

It doesn't seem to support the notion that they're passionately behind the "City" name though, does it?

"Hull Tigers"........shudder.......it's enough to make you quit supporting the game, surely?

My suspicion is that with a new identikit stadium and 4,000 fans becoming 24,000 fans in a short space of time, Hull is a s plastic a football club as they come.

Would you be happy if a millionaire owner changed our name to Sheffield Blades? Made us play in Blue and White cause he preferred the colour?

The legitimacy of the vote results have already been questioned when looked against surveys the local press have done there. Added to that the song is sung by a vast majority every league game, which is quite well documented, I don't really see why you would argue otherwise?
