HCST Stand beside Reading Fans

Hull City Supporters Trust stands in solidarity with the supporters of Reading FC and all fans who have seen their clubs badly damaged by inappropriate or incompetent ownership.

As Tigers fans we have had our fair share of incompetent ownership; we too came perilously close to losing our club. Remember, also, that the current Reading owners were the preferred buyers proposed by our previous owners – how lucky are we to have dodged that bullet and ended up with the current owners?

In the 16th minute of games on Friday and Saturday, fans of all clubs are encouraged to stand and clap in solidarity with Reading and show the EFL that football fans stand together. Reading has been docked 16 points by the EFL due to the appalling actions of the owner. Once again it is the club and the fans that suffer from the actions of bad owners.

We are asking all members of the #OneFamily to stand and clap at Sunderland in the sixteenth minute on Friday. Reading fans deserve better. Football fans deserve better. Football is not just any business, it lies at the heart of communities.

Tigers Legend is Our First Guest

We are delighted to announce that Tigers legend, Ken “Waggy” Wagstaff has been confirmed as our first guest at our forthcoming charity fundraiser / official heritage project launch.

Waggy’s presence at the event will certainly add an extra layer of excitement and nostalgia for attendees, providing an opportunity to connect with one of the club’s iconic players.

He played 181 times for Mansfield Town between 1960 and 1964 scoring 93 goals.

He then move to the Tigers, playing 378 games between 1964 and 1976 scoring 173 goals before a knee injury ended his playing career.

In 2000 he became, to our knowledge, the only player to be voted player of the century by the fans of two clubs.

HCST to Sponsor Andy Smith

Following Xavier Simons’ recent loan deal to Fleetwood Town, HCST are please to announce that they have agreed to sponsor up-and-coming youngster, Andy “Smudge” Smith.

Young defender Andy Smith has progressed through the Tigers’ academy from the Under-9s.

The former Under-18s captain made his senior debut in a 3-2 victory against Fleetwood Town in the EFL Trophy in January 2021 and signed a new contract later that month.

In July 2021, Banbury-born Smith captained the Tigers in their behind-closed-doors friendly against Manchester United Under-23s, providing an assist for Tom Eaves in the 2-0 victory.

He spent the first half of the 2021/22 season on loan at League Two Salford City, making four appearances, before being recalled and immediately loaned out to National League outfit Grimsby Town.

Making 16 appearances for the Mariners and netting in a 2-2 draw against Barnet, Smith helped Town win promotion back to the EFL via the play-offs.

He penned a new two-year contract in summer 2022, with a club option of a further year, and was loaned straight out to Grimsby for their first season back in League Two.

In his second spell with the Mariners, Smith made 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals, and registering one assist in over 3,800 minutes played.

While we wish Xavier every success during his loan period with Fleetwood, we look forward to closely following Andy’s progress with the 1st team.
