Football Clubs News | Football Supporters News

Hull City fans have signed up to a charter pledging to back their team in their debut season in the Premier League.

The charter promises to support the players whether they win, lose or draw throughout the campaign and it has so far been signed by thousands of fans.

According to reports in the Hull Daily Mail, fans can sign the charter online or when they visit the ground.

Mark Lane and Sharon Whitehead of east Hull told the newspaper that it was a good idea to get the supporters behind the team.

"Me and Sharon and our two boys are season ticket holders. You can see the difference it makes to the players - it gets that extra ten per cent out of them," Mr Lane told the newspaper.

The charter asks fans to: Support the team home and away, not to "barrack" the Hull players, to sing throughout matches and to stay until the final whistle.

It also encourages fans to wear the club's colours and welcome visiting fans graciously while urging fans to enjoy their shot at the big-time.
