Is that the same bandwagon that a lot of Hull FC fans have jumped on since our move to the KC?

Anything that raises the profile of our city is good news and welcome.

btw. City had an average crowd of 18500 in their last season in the bottom League.

I'm not denying that! I just think comparing a competitive league game at home to local rivals Bradford to an expected easy win in the cup against Swinton is a daft comparison. The last 3 years at Boulevard our crowds were decent.

But yet others compare City playing Orient ten years ago and a full house against Manchester United today.

No difference.

Were our crowds anything to write home about before we were promoted to the Super League?

ALL Clubs gather support when doing well.

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?

Super League star spotters? Desperate to see the likes of Wakey and Leeds? Or Hull FC fans?

Go figure.

Good lucky city i'm going for a 1-1 draw but we'll stay newcastle will lose


Kc gets expanded if city stay up doesn't it?

Mixed feelings on this today.......I don't 'do' soccer, i've never been a World Cup 'sheep' or an FA fanny, and get really p!ssed off when I buy the HDM on a Monday only to find that they seem to have bought a job-lot of black and amber ink from Del Boy! even when they lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Hate the fact that an important day in the RL calendar was scrapped at the KC because Duffen and Co created obsticles

, I can't be doing with all the 'new age' City Fans that you see and hear everywhere you bleedin' look these days. These idiots have been saying that Hull is a football town and has never been a Rugby League City.....Yep....Idiots!!!!! Then.....above all that.....A handful of these so called city supporters were slamming the fact that Clive Sullivan was gonna have a statue in his honour on the CLIVE SULLIVAN WAY

They were saying 'why should he be honoured, What did he ever do???'....Again IDIOTS!!! They reckon Deano should be there instead.....But.....HE HAS NEVER ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING OTHER THAN SCORE A GOAL AT WEMBLEY.......Sully was a real legend in our lifetime!

Now....the positives.....errrm......It'll keep the pubs busy next season with sky sports and all that.
Then theres errrrrrrm.......nah....stuck now!


To sum it up......Could't give a kippers eyelash what they do!

TBF, the first match I went to was only to see Richie Barnett Jnr, it was always my dream to see such a high profile person.

can see city getting tonked today, 4-1 to Man U, BUT i think Villa will beat the toon, there chasing 5th spot, so City to stay up!! (and then come down next season.........joke)
C'mon City...

That´s perhaps why I'm looking for a Black and White Miracle as I don't want Villa in 5th

Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, Brown, De Laet, Ferdinand, Chester, Eckersley, Simpson, Fabio, Nani, Fletcher, Gibson, Tosic, Martin, Drinkwater, Macheda, Welbeck.


Man utd squad. Not too threatening imo. Good old fergie

Eh???

Those in bold would get in Citys squad.

What and Ferdinand wouldnt???

Lol....not counting the obvious ones of course.

Well done to SCUNTHORPE at least we won't be guaranteed another visit from Millwall

How many have done that , for the past god knows how long

could the humber derby be back on?

Erm it's a bit better than having van der sar, rooney, tevez, vidic, ferdinand, berbatov, ronaldo, giggs, scholes... to name a few.

"Hull City in the Premier League is good for the town" has to be the most over used cliche is the city in the minute. I have yet to see any tangible evidenec of this. Personally I am praying for their relegation. Never in the history of sport can mediocrity have been celebrated so much as it has during the past nine months.

1-0 down.

Clueless, as usual.

But hey, why let facts get in the way of an ill informed rant about a subject you know nothing about.
