1200-1500 boikottet kampen
Omtrent halvparten av bortesupporterne som hadde kjøpt billett til kampen i Hull ble hjemme i Liverpool. Spirit of Shankly karakteriserer boikotten som en suksess.
Liverpool Echo konkluderer med at boikotten fikk større oppslutning enn noen hadde sett for seg på forhånd. Lokalavisen skriver at over 1200 Kopites holdt seg unna KC Stadium, og avisen legger ironisk til at Liverpools spillere heller ikke møtte opp. Supporterunionen Spirit of Shankly opererer med et enda høyere tall, nemlig 1500.
Mange av de som boikottet kampen valgte å møte opp utenfor Anfield i stedet, hvor de protesterte mot de stadig økende billettprisene i Premier League.
Stewards at Hull are estimating there were 1500 empty seats tonight - well done everyone @SpionKop1906

That's the away end at kick-off at KC Stadium. Less than half full. #lfc pic.twitter.com/bHRdhcUO6H

#LFC's allocation was 2,500. Looks like around half that number have actually made the trip here.
