| Went to uni in Hull for 4 years and loved every minute. Still got some good mates from Hull and try and get back there couple of times a year.

best thing about hull is the people, we will talk to anyone, unlike southerners who seem to be stuck up, rude and obnoxious! guess I just described wirequin!'"
You can't really compare Hull to London. You can fit the population of Hull into London 32 times. It's like comparing Featherstone to Leeds.

Well I am 50 and I know of only one person born in Hull that has moved out of the city. Obviously, I am talking about my acquaintances here.
I have also met and worked with a great many people from other parts of the country in different employment. Each and everyone have said the same thing to me...they came to Hull for different reasons and ended up staying because they like it and like the people.
Even now there are quite a few out of towners at my place of work and they jumped to Hulls defence on reading negative comments about the culture award.

| Do you think you may end up with a huge bronze statue of a fish in the main street. Would that reflect historical culture in Hull?

Yes you can.
I didn't see any obnoxious c**ts when I was up there the other weekend.
Last time I went to London, I saw plenty.

| You obviously weren't in Hull to watch a game of RL then?
Were you catching the ferry to Holland?

There's a big statue of a fish in Belfast so why not?
When I saw the thread title 'Culture' I thought it was something about the reggae act, 'Two Sevens Clash' and all that!

Good idea, it would make a nice tribute to the 6,000 men from Hull who lost their lives at sea. Meanwhile we could have a giant gold plated fat cat in the middle of the city.
Idiot.

Is a bit silly that chip shop but IIRC they stopped selling alcohol a few months ago, something about attracting the wrong type of people funnily enough.

That happened to me with Sheffield, even though people such as my friends from my hometown who have never lived there don't like it.

| Here's my opinion for what its worth......
I have to be honest, i sadly heeded the word of others, and avoided going to Hull for a good number of years. It was only three seasons ago that i decided to bite the bullet and find out for myself, and have subsequently been to every away game at the KC and Craven Park.
What i found was a very pleasant, friendly place, with a decent amount of cultural and historical interest. I also found a large number of great venues for my pre and post match beverages. This cant be said of a lot of other away trips in towns that get far less bad press.
I'm sure it has had its problems, and continues to do so. But show me a city/town in the North of England that doesn't. It seems to me that as a city, Hull is doing an awful lot to try and address these issues, and seems to have achieved a lot already.
It has rapidly become one of my favourite away trips, and I'm already looking forward to the opening game of next season.

possibly, in the same way that had it been awarded to London, you could have had one with a building on fire and looters surrounding it. We didn't have any trouble here. None at all. We had to send our police down to London to help out.
Its a wonderful city, an absolute hidden gem. No pretence at all, just sincerity. I am PROUD to be from Hull. I moved to Leeds this year to be with my partner and I miss Hull every day. Seeing the Humber bridge on the train journey back brings a smile to my face every time. I'm home.

Thats a shame it came in handy for the train ride back to Manchester. A bag of chips and a couple of cans used to be standard on the way home from Hull!!!

Nice.
'London'. Which bit?
It's got the population of a small country and covers an area that would swallow Leeds/Bradford/Manchester/Sheffield and all the space in between.
You can't compare Hull to London unless you're an idiot.
