colin murray in fact likes both codes and has had good things to say about league in the past

He's obviously seen the odd game as he mentioned watching Aus V Nz match in Brisbane, saying he could feel the first tackle sat in the stands.

Wigan Latics would be over the moon with that

Inverdale and Stephen Jones are in that group of media employees who depise rugby league. Inverdale is a nothing who thankfully has little respect or influence.

What are you trying say ?
Most City fans live locally .
If you want to bring up outsiders supporting other teams . what about the mant FC and Rovers supporters who glory support " The big 4 " . When FC played at the Boulevard you would see Fc fans with a black and white scarf and a Man U or Liverpool top , it was farcical .

I`m not from Hull,but support F.C.
I am not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying you have to produce a birth certificate to prove you come from the city / town whose team you support?

jesus christ calm down love.

based on numbers of people from strictly from hull attending local games id imagine the rugby out does the football. i get the impression that half of citys new fans are from the east riding

just for reference, its a different sport

Your name suggests you are from barton ie. local , and you support the local rugby team . I feel that bighead is saying that the roads are gridlocked with people coming to Hull so they can watch the Tigers .

Fair enough,but I still don`t get whats wrong with that. If you want to support a team nothing wrong with wherever you come from.

.

You could be right . I just get fed up with people from FC or Rovers having a dig at Hull City and vice versa . The locals should stick together . At the moment all 3 get good crowds , Rovers 8k , FC 12k and City 24 K ( last season ) these stats are bloody good compared to gates of less than 1k for the rugby clubs and under 2 k ( protest match when people did not turn up ) for city's lowest league att. v torquay . A big improvement .

Yes , its so easy to pick a team that is successful but play 100 miles away ( man U ) and never get to see play live and in the flesh like many glory supporters I know .

To be fair mate there are plenty who have jumped on the Hull City bandwagon. The same has happened in Wigan with the Latics. Personally I get more riled by people who can flip from one team to another or suddenly start supporting a team then have a go at people who question their loyalty and length of support.

Yes , but they live locally . Teams that are successful get better gates than when they are not , and that includes Hull city , FC and Kr .

city are still the local team though. i was born in hull but live in the east riding i support hull fc. are you saying i should be supporting beverley arlfc?

anyway its irrelevant, when city get relegated they will all go back to supporting man utd

Some really great debate from 1pm to 2pm with Mayo , Burnsy , Doc , Steve Parry et al BUT............ NO Gwollum wonder why his dulcit tones never made 5 live.
Great advert for Hull though this 3 days...about 3-4 million well informed people listen to 5 live every day.

And then others ring up and contribute to the phone-ins

Can honestly say I've never met anyone who has changed the team they support. I'm also confused as to why its always Man Utd that get picked out as the team with "glory fans". Is it because they have had the most glory in the last 20 years? I actually know more Liverpool fans that aren't from Liverpool then I do Man Utd fans that aren't from Manchester.

I'm from Wigan and the town is full of them. I can remember half the people who are now lifelong Latics fans walking round in Liverpool, United and even Blackburn shirts as recently as 6 years ago.


Exactly. Not a word said about Chelsea fans in the North


Half of Wigan used to support Liverpool. These would be people born in the late 70's, early 80's. Coincidence?

Fighting Talk on Five Live right now from Ferens Art Gallery.

yes im one of those liverpool fans not from liverpool

There are a couple of Liverpool fans from Hull on the football thread.

Just a quick post to say that I've been impressed by almost everything I've heard from Hull this week. I've only been once and that was when I was little to the Boulevard. What came through was the underlying pride many of you have in your city. Hat's off to you.

Thanks for that. Hull has similar problems to any big city but seems to takes a kicking more than most.

There is plenty to be proud of though.

I watched Something for the weekend earleir and Tim Lovejoy was giving Hulll big wraps. He was up on Friday for a broadcast and used the train up and he went on about those as well, years since he has been on a rain. All backed up by Simon Rimmer, the scouse cook and it was all positive stuff about the city for a change.


Now you watch some halfwit go and score a home goal in the enxt week or two to undo it all.

Austin Mitchell from OPE anytime soon should do it
