Hull fans play their part

Boothferry Park was packed against Orient

Hull City boss Brian Little believes the Tigers fans have played their part in securing the club's future.

Financially-stricken Hull were boosted by a crowd of 8,782 as they beat Leyton Orient by a single goal

"We enjoyed the day," Little said.

"I felt the supporters could hopefully show there was a fair amount of passion around the place and they would like their club to survive."

But he admitted: "It's very difficult.

"It's very trying, very testing and certainly very worrying for a lot of people around the club."
