Hull City AFC Australia is the official Australian Supporters Group for all City fans living Down Under. It was founded in May 2013, and has been rapidly growing ever since. Our podcast, The Tigers Down Under, began during the 2015/16 season and has been a regular feature since that time, with a r…
The Tigers Down Under crew link up with the boys from To Hull and Back to reflect on the season that was. Selles' and Walter's sackings, disastrous injury records, and a meek finishing position are not what Acun or supporters had in mind for the season, so where do we go from here?________________________________________________The Tigers Down UnderTwitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.ausTo Hull and BackTwitter: https://twitter.com/Hull_and_BackYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ToHullandBackPodcast
Unbelievable scenes as City survive on the final day on goal difference! A Matt Crooks goal proved enough to see City hold off relegation and condemn Luton to the third tier.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
All the good feeling of the win over Preston evaporated with a dour, disappointing loss against Derby. Coupled with results around City not going in their favour, City now stare down the barrel of relegation as they sit in the relegation zone with one game to play.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
A big win against Preston settles some of the nerves that had begun to jangle around, but they don't come much bigger than the showdown with Derby County this weekend in what could prove to be a relegation play off.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
A valuable point against Coventry given results around us mean City are edging closer to safety, and with Preston and Swansea over the Easter period, there's ample opportunity to get the points required to condemn this season to the history books.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
Mixed results with a win and a loss meant City are still unable to break free of the relegation battle, although results around us have been somewhat favourable. Coventry will prove a tough test Monday evening before a more favourable run to finish the season.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
The match against Luton couldn't have gone much worse, with a lack of cutting edge, a calamitous own goal, and most other sides around City picking up points. It's an 'on the beach' Sheffield Wednesday this weekend as City look to make amends.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
The International Break is done and dusted, so after celebrating the successes against Oxford and a battling draw against WBA, we turn our attention to possibly the most season-defining game we have left, with Luton heading to the MKM in what could finally see City push clear of the relegation picture.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
The Tigers Down Under look back on the second half of the 2019/20 season in the last season of the 2010s to be reviewed. Bowen and Grosicki's sales in January began a tumble down the table of epic proportions leading to relegation with barely a whimper. We also look back on the highs from the decade as a whole________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
A huge win at home against Plymouth gave City breathing space to the bottom 3, and a battling point away at Bristol City with 4 of the bottom 5 losing helped City pull a further point clear. A huge game against Oxford awaits mid-week which could all but secure City's safety.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
City's form against their fellow relegation battlers continued against Cardiff with a meek 1-0 defeat last Wednesday morning, and they will need to avoid a similar fate against Plymouth tomorrow morning to pull themselves clear of the relegation picture. Bristol City prove a tougher test this weekend, but maybe City's away fortunes against red and white sides can continue..________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
A hugely spirited win against Sunderland gives City some breathing room to the bottom 3, and the game in hand over Derby takes place this coming Tuesday night against Cardiff City, a side City have a strong run of form against.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
Another frustrating home performance as City started the game well but withdrew into their shells following the opening goal against Norwich. The less said about that Burnley game the better as City look to bounce back with a tough fixture against Sunderland who will be smarting after a late loss to Leeds.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
Will we ever win at home again? Despite a strong showing against Stoke City still slumped to defeat at home, and with Burnley and Norwich to come, it proves to be a tough prospect for City to gain points.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus
The Tigers Down Under look back on the first half of the 2019/20 season in the last season of the 2010s to be reviewed. Grant McCann replaced Nigel Adkins in the summer, and the first half of the season actually had City looking in reasonable shape to finally push on and make the play offs. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Despite a disappointing defeat to QPR, City responded in style with a thumping win against Sheffield United 3-0 in what may have been our best victory in quite some time. A busy end to the transfer window has seen a number of players arrive, with more promised. Stoke this weekend is just as vital, with the teams level on points and the prospect of pulling away from danger for the victor. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A big clash against Millwall resulted in maximum points for City as the pull out of the relegation zone and towards safety continues under Ruben Selles. CIty are getting busy in the transfer window with Gelhardt and Amrabat signing, Lincoln and Joseph imminently signing, and Sorba Thomas linked. QPR Wednesday morning promises to be an important fixture at home, with a much sterner test Saturday against Sheffield United. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A familiar feeling as City crash out of the Cup, at least this time with the excitement of a penalty shoot out. In the transfer market, deals are moving typically slowly with Millwall looming this weekend as a game reinforcements would be welcomed for. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Only a point gained from two fixtures but a stirring comeback against Leeds caps off the week in positive fashion. Wheels starting to turn in the transfer market give City a week of progress ahead of Doncaster in the Cup. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A loss and a win against Preston and Blackburn makes it two wins in three and a first clean sheet since Millwall to cement real signs of improvement for City under Selles. The games keep coming thick and fast with Boro and Leeds to come this week. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
How good is that winning feeling! Three points secured against Swansea not only takes City off the bottom of the table but out of the relegation zone for Christmas. Preston and Blackburn to come round out the year with the promise of putting some real space between City and the bottom 3. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A point against Watford finally saw the six game losing streak broken for City, and a lead against Coventry promised to make it an undefeated week. That wasn't to be as City slumped to defeat in the Midlands, and Swansea rapidly becomes a must win game this weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
An inexplicable loss to Blackburn where the away side failed to even register a shot in the first half underlines the notion that when a side's luck is out.. it's really out. A 300th episode for The Tigers Down Under as we look ahead to City's first two games under new manager Ruben Selles against Watford and Coventry. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A fifth loss in a row but an uptick in performance perhaps under Andy Dawson? Burstow scored his first City goal, with the latest on City's search for our next permanent manager, and Blackburn up this weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
An emergency mid-week podcast as Acun finally pulls the trigger on Walter's tenure as City manager. What next for the club, who should be put in charge, and does it change the mood for the games to come? We also touch on a tough game against Sheffield Wednesday that spelled the end for Walter. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Once again we huff and puff but struggle to create clear cut chances to score and fail to make an impact in the game. Luton score once from a set piece and come away with a reasonably comfortable victory. Of concern is the prolific Middlesbrough looming on the weekend, with a visit from Sheffield Wednesday to come first. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A poor second half against Oxford after City failed to put away chances, and then a meek performance against a tired WBA spelt trouble heading into the International Break, but as we sit here Walter is still in charge as City head into a clash against another club with a manager under pressure at Luton. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.ause
The Tigers Down Under look back on the second half of our full season under Nigel Adkins. When Ehab confirmed we would make a push for the play offs and look to make signings in January to support this, more was perhaps hoped for with the second half of the season than eventuated.. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Results and performances have soured quickly at City, and the second half against Portsmouth became increasingly toxic, as City failed to beat the bottom side in the Championship. Is Walter on borrowed time or can he still turn things around? Two teams in Oxford and WBA with no wins in their last five could well be the final chances for him. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.ause
One positive draw and one disappointing one as City held Burnley to a 1-1 draw at the MKM before failing to overcome Derby. On another week it could have been two victories, but instead City had to settle for two points. Portsmouth loom as an almost must-win this weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.ause
City returned from the International Break with a disappointing defeat to Sunderland. Disappointing, at least, due to the fact City looked markedly better against the table toppers, but were undone yet again from a short corner routine, this time Sunderland ably assisted by the referees body check. Burnley are City's mid-week opponent before newly promoted Derby on the weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Norwich brought their scoring boots to the clash just before the International Break as all the red flags in City's previous performances came home to roost, with City shipping 4 goals to a dominant Norwich side. Now just the small matter of the table topping Sunderland side to deal with. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
The Tigers Down Under look back on the first half of our full season under Nigel Adkins. While it started in quite rocky fashion, it was perhaps a good lesson in not having an itchy trigger finger when it comes to managerial decisions as Adkins surged us towards the play offs. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Well that was a bit fun, wasn't it? 4-1 win over Cardiff, followed by 3-1 win against QPR capped off a brilliant 10 days in which City's form well and truly reversed. A clash with Norwich to suddenly get a look into the Top 6 looms before the International Break. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A first win of the season eases some of the pressure on Tim Walter.. with the second half providing a blueprint for how we need to play/line up. A. clash with managerless Cardiff City who sit bottom of the table should allow for City to make it two in two, before an out of form QPR mid-week. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A meek 2-0 surrender to Sheffield United underlined the increasing pressure Tim Walter finds himself under as City manager, and a trip to managerless Stoke City must simply be a three point affair for the mood to shift at the MKM. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
With the transfer window coming to its frantic conclusion, and City facing local rivals Leeds United, it was a chaotic few days, followed by the calm of the International Break. Another Yorkshire derby looms large with Sheffield United the next opponents. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...

The Tigers Down Under look back on the second half of our first season back in the Championship following relegation, with Nigel Adkins taking over from Slutsky to guide us to safety. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A 0-0 with Millwall makes it three draws to start the league season, with the attacking football promised yet to materialise. A chaotic end to the Transfer Windows lies in store, before a stern test against Leeds. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A disappointing loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup was followed up with a second 1-1 draw in succession in the league against Plymouth Argyle. While City are struggling to get momentum in terms of scoring goals, off the pitch the signings are now coming thick and fast. A showdown with high scoring Millwall headlines the weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A draw with Bristol City on the opening day was a promising start for a City side that is still very much a work in progress. A flurry of transfer activity marked the beginning of the season, and two fixtures in the Cup and League to look forward to fill the agenda. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...

A new season is on the horizon with Bristol City coming to town this Saturday. We run through a summary of Pre-Season, some transfer news, and predictions for the new season. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...

The Tigers Down Under crew link up again with the boys from To Hull and Back to discuss all the news on and off the pitch for City in the off-season as City gear up to take on the Championship in the upcoming season. The crew will round up Pre-Season results, run through all the latest transfer news, and all other news that caught their eyes, before giving their predictions for the upcoming season. ________________________________________________ The Tigers Down Under Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...

With the season done and dusted we reflect on the highs and lows of season 2023/24. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
The dominating news story is the departure of Liam Rosenior as manager, while we also cover the final day of the season, as City struggled to put up a fight against a Plymouth side fighting to stay up. A comfortable WBA win meant it was all academic as the sun sets on another season. How does the squad look for a tilt next season? ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
We couldn't, could we? 4 points from Cov and Ipswich has City daring to dream as a West Brom loss to Preston would open the door to the unlikeliest of play off pushes as we head into the final day with it all to play for. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Another penalty miss proved costly as City couldn't break down Watford in what was a must win game. The slim play off hopes have become slimmer, and while not mathematically out of it, anything other than a win against Coventry would confirm our race is run for the season. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A draw with Boro and comprehensive win against QPR mean it was 4 points when City probably needed 6 to stay in the Play Off race, however a WBA loss to Sunderland does leave the door somewhat ajar if they were to drop any further points on the run home. Watford this weekend is, as always, a must win to keep asking the question. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
Cardiff are the side that keep on giving as City made it 6 in a row against the Bluebirds thanks to a Fabio Carvalho double and Philogene sealer. City now come up against MIddlesbrough and QPR in order to keep their slim play off chances alive. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi... Instagram: hull.city.aus
A disappointing Easter saw City capitulate against Stoke, with results not going in our favour on Monday with our loss against Leeds putting play off chances firmly on the back burner. All we can do is get back to winning ways and hope results go in our favour, starting with Cardiff this weekend. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...

The Tigers Down Under look back on the first half of our first season back in the Championship following relegation, with Leonid Slutsky taking charge and the majority of the squad looking for the exit doors. ________________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...
