Just in case anyone was thinking of staying in Hull for a few bevvies after the match, remember the bridge will be closed in both directions from 21.00 on Sat night.

Was looking at the map of Hull and only just realised that it has the river Hull running North to South through it. I always wondered why reading about Hull there seemed to be a East / West pole in relation to the football and rugby League teams. Also explains why it's called Kingston upon Hull!

I think it's West (of the river)Hull people that support Hull RLFC (they share the ground with the football club), East Hull people support Hull Kingston Rovers. I think Hull City are supported cross city mind you but not sure if they are more strongly supported in the West.

2k sold.

Second biggest following for us this season for one of our furthest games. On the back of a poor run away from home, £27 a ticket and a busy month of matches.

All things considered, not bad!

It's the lure of crossing that lovely bridge that's boosted the numbers.

Apparently, according to the Hull forum:

"
Coventry was the first City in the UK to have an Ikea.

Fed up with her husband’s high taxes on the people of Coventry, Lady Godiva rode through the town naked so he would revoke them. No-one looked at her, apart from some fellow called Tom, and this is where the term Peeping Tom comes from. Although in reality, it never happened, and the story was invented by Benedictine monks 250 years after her death.

The name Coventry originated from the word Coventre. The word Coventre is derived from the two words ‘Covent’, which stands in for Convent, and ‘tre’, which stands for settlement.

Britain's car industry was founded by Daimler in a disused Coventry cotton mill in 1896.

All modern bicycles are descended from John Kemp Starley's Rover safety cycle, invented in Coventry in 1885.

The first £5 note in a worker's peacetime wage was paid in Coventry during the 1950's.

The city was the birthplace of jet pioneer Sir Frank Whittle, the poet Philip Larkin and the pop impresario Pete Waterman.

The expression 'true blue' has Coventry origins and dates from the 14th century, when cloth dyed Coventry blue became very fashionable and expensive.

The first tank, the first traffic indicators for cars and the first dumper truck were built in Coventry. The first motorised funeral was held in the city.

The phrase 'sent to Coventry' originated during the English Civil War, when captured Royalists were imprisoned in the heavily fortified and strongly pro-Parliament city. They were given a hard time by the local people.

Dick Whittington was member of one of Coventry's mediaeval craft guilds.

Chuck Berry recorded his number one hit 'My Ding-A-Ling' at a Coventry dance hall.

Coventry Transport Museum has the biggest collection of British made cars, motorcycles and bicycles in the world.

The minis in the sewer scenes in The Italian Job, were filmed in Coventry.

Two-Tone music, British Ska, came out of Coventry in the late 1970s, through bands like The Specials and Selecter. Ghost Town, the Specials’ biggest hit, was actually written about Glasgow, not Coventry.

In 1948, work started on Coventry’s traffic-free shopping centre, the first in Europe. Rotterdam’s opened for business months later.

Legend has it the dragon-slayer and patron saint of England was born in Coventry and was a central figure for the city. "

It's superb, these support levels are historically very high. I first started going away in the 90s the numbers were never at this level for a league game.

Brilliant showing. Pay day for a lot of people today so perhaps a few hundred on the gate as well. 10 years ago we’d have barely sold 1000 for this game.

I think we were the Championship’s longest serving team at the time tbf. Mid table or worse every season, this is our first season back with fans, naturally they’ll drop off if we stay in the Championship
