Hull City face a fight to avoid their lowest ever season average attendance at the KCOM Stadium with just one home game remaining.

Although Nigel Adkins’ side appear to have turned around their fortunes at the right time this campaign to avoid relegation, winning four of the last eight games to move up to 18 in the Championship, attendances continue to drop.

Saturday’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday attracted 16,417 fans to the KCOM Stadium, only four more games have been watched by more this season, however as the season continues the average number of spectators continues to fall.

On average City have managed to entice just 15,540 for home games this season, leaving a startling 10,000 empty seats vacant as fans continue to fall.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t look to be changing any time soon as the Tigers have just one game remaining at the KCOM this season, a home game against Cardiff City on April 28 and as Adkins will hope to have survival wrapped by that point it could serve as nothing more than a chance for those players leaving in the summer to bid the fans farewell.

As such, it would appear the Tigers are set to record their lowest ever attendance average since their switch from Boothferry Park in December 2002, beating their debut season at the KCOM in Division Three.

In fact, it would take a season high of over 18,500 in order to prevent setting a new low in the 15 years at the KCOM.
