Quote ="WormInHand"My point was that most of the "new Hull City fans" aren't Hull City fans at all. They're Premiership star spotters who jumped aboard to watch Man U, Arsenal et al down at the local stadium. My next door neighbour, a Blackburn fan (?? (I know!
)) cheerfully admits he's one of them. And I reckon there's another five or six thousand such "Hull City" fans stealing the seats from the "poor deprived local kids"... NOT!
And you're right. That rugby international would have raised the profile and local economy of our city and that would have been welcome.
Why did your chairman block it, again?'"
First and foremost, I'm a fan of both Clubs.
I'm not defending Paul Duffen for not allowing the RL International. However it must be asked why the RL wouldn't wait until a date could be confirmed.
Also, where did all the "new" Hull FC fans come from after OUR move to the KC?
