    I don't think it is fair to critisise the crowd at the game on Tuesday night, because these U21 games are actually more often staged at smaller venues than the KC Stadium, like Championship or League one grounds.

    No offense to Hull City and the KC Stadium, but it is basically a Championship ground anyway.
