The protests were the latest in a long line of revolts against Hull's owners

A number of fans held a protest march outside the KCOM Stadium prior to kick-off in opposition at the running of the club.

And then during the game, as the clock reached 19 minutes and 04 seconds - in representation of the club’s formation in 1904 - fans in the North Stand threw yellow squeezy balls onto the pitch, forcing play to be stopped for a couple of minutes.

Supporters then chanted ‘We want Allams out’ and ‘City til I die’.

The protest had been planned to coincide with the televised coverage on Sky.

As has been the case since the end of the 2014-15 season, neither Assem or Ehab Allam were in attendance at the game.
