City Fans Set New Record

Posted on: Mon 08 Feb 2010

Saturday saw Tigers fans create a new attendance record at the KC Stadium for the second time in seven days.

The crowd of 24,959 for the game against Manchester City was the highest for a Hull City game at the KC Stadium, beating the previous record set against Wolverhampton Wanderers and then equalled at the game against Chelsea by two supporters!

With three home games in a week, it's been a fantastic effort from the black and amber army with a combined total of 74,873 supporters coming through the turnstiles.

That level of support was certainly appreciated by the players and played its part in an unbeaten run which yielded five points.

Assistant Manager Brian Horton was quick to praise the fans after the victory over Manchester City.

"The fans were magnificent again," said Horton.

"They've certainly played their part in the last couple of games and they've loved two big clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City coming here. They've seen two tremendous performances back-to-back."

A look back through the history books shows that the last time so many fans witnessed three Hull City home games in such a short space of time was back in September 1966.

Having recently been promoted to the Second Division, a total of 89,922 saw the Wagstaff & Chilton inspired Tigers overcome Norwich City (Tuesday 20th), Northampton Town (Friday 23rd) and Portsmouth (Wednesday 28th) in the space of nine days.
