In 40 games vs 'Ull over the years the Town have won 17, drawing 15 and losing 7, scoring 49 and conceding 32.
In 20 games at the CG Town have won 12 games drawing 6 and losing just twice, scoring 33 and conceding 15. Town have won the last 3 on the trot scoring 10 goals and conceding 3, our last game against them back in 2004.
I remember a few of the games well, the 96 championship winning season under Muckmahom when they looked absolutely awful in a relegation season and we had probably 75% possession, we kept the ball for over 3 minutes at one point in the game while the crowd were gleefully shouting Olé with every touch. On loan Everton midfielder Tony Grant scored a fantastic 30 yard chip (5 mins into the video).
Hull currently sit in 2nd place winning 7 of their 9 league games scoring 15 and conceding 7 and losing just twice, one was a 4-1 thrashing at Fleetood and a 2-1 reverse home to Posh, a game apparently they should have easily won.
Despite their decent start their fans are less than enamoured with their manager Grant McCann, with many of their fans calling him very wittily(!) Grant McCant.
They have no players or staff with a Swindon connection and we have no players with a Hull connection.
A few comments from Hull fans on their forum.
At home to Swindon?
We'll ****ing muller them by a veritable hat full.
Nine nowt.
If we'd been away it'd be a different story mind.
The mullering would be on the other foot.
Nowt nine.
4-0 City
5-1 City
City 3 nowt
We'll smash the ****ers, but 'some' still won't be satisfied.
I must be 'some' then, cos I'll only be satisfied when we are back where we were before McCann took over
We should get the win here, their team is suffering absentees due to Corona Virus, so likely not to be fielding their best side. Having said that, if City going into the game thinking that, it could come back and bite you on the bum.
And the usual Swindon knocking, which is so ironic from "Hull" of all places! a city regularly voted the worst city in the UK to live in.

It’s a ****ing **** hole of a redundant town, like a posh Grimsby.
Swindon “a place that destroys all hopes and dreams”
If you don’t believe me ask their very own Patty ...
https://swindonisshit-blog.tumblr.com/ Residents of Hull have similar opinions of their city. Though the Swindon one appears to have a better grasp of English.
https://www.ilivehere.co.uk/hull-officially-rubbish.htmlI will be happy with a draw today under poor conditions and many injuries and Covid related absentees, I expect several of the youths will be called up to fill the bench today.
