HUNDREDS of children cheered the Tigers to victory after being given tickets by club owner Assem Allam.

A total of 366 tickets were given to Hull Children's University.

The businessman has close links with the charity and has donated £100,000 of his personal fortune over the past few years.

The tickets were given to children from Bude Primary School, Stepney Primary School, Pearson Primary School and St Nicholas Primary School.

For some children, it was their first time at the KC Stadium.

Some youngsters were taken to the match by teachers, and others had the chance to take their family to roar on the Tigers, who beat Charlton Athletic 1-0.

Eve Clark, commercial, fundraising and business manager at the Children's University, said: "One parent said to me they had never been able to afford to go to watch a game as a family and thanks to these tickets they all got to go together.

"We are extremely privileged and honoured to receive so many tickets, the children were very excited to be going to a football game and these children are the fans and season pass holders of the future.

"We cannot thank Mr Allam, Nick Thompson and George Hudson enough for arranging this for us."

The club has also given the Children's University 600 City shirts.

Mrs Clark said: "We are tremendously grateful for such a generous gift.

"It was a day to remember for a lot of the children."
