is it too much to ask?

Will never be, people seem to be affraid to make noise

Doubt it but it could be its own thing in its own right....just got to cut out singing that bloody "fathers gun" song all the time......that gets sung more than old Faithful and that is our battle cry...not some poxy song about them red & white bstards

Don't think it ever will be, but getting the crowd numbers back up and watching a good team would help. More and more people have moved over to the South and West stands in recent years, which makes the crowd more spread out.

Never

The threepenny wasn't the threepenny for the last 15 years or so before we left anyway

Only if it gets changed to all standing. The best atmosphere comes from terraces where people that want to sing can move and stand together.

So you didn't sing at wembley then?

I agree with FC Baldy, why do we persist with singing songs about Rovers?

Rip the seats out and make it a stand would be a step in the right direction for me. All seaters are crap IMO. Agree with Jake as well, Threepenny wasn't the same once the H&S started ripping into it and reducing the capacity etc.

you might not have the threepenny stand anymore but the tradition of bricking coaches til you've smashed the windows lives on! at least 1 coach done again today

Eh? Is the only alternative to the best atmosphere: "no singing"?

And are you really trying to compare the atmosphere at a huge event like the Challenge Cup Final involving around 30k Hull fans all sat together with the atmosphere at a run-of-the-mill league game involving 11k fans spread out across 4 stands? You're comparing apples and oranges there.

A terrible riposte.

oh

Was it FC fans?

Not defending any teams idiots, but last time it happened to one of your coaches about 4 years ago it was on the flyover and it was proved it wasn't Hull fans, just mindless youths who had been loitering around West Park. The policy regarding the coaches was changed after this incident, as soon as the coaches are now ready to leave, the cars around the stadium bowl are stopped from moving and the coaches can then get a straight run out of the stadium.

Some of us keep saying that but it never seems to sink in.

I wonder if the fans who bricked the coach are the same fans who spat at our own cheerleaders.?

any proof they were hull fc fans?

I think the term "fans" should not be used in these cases.Numbskulls is more like it.

If you think standing in pools of urine is progress or something to get nostalgic about then aspiring to better things can not be one of your strong points !!

East stand is populated with people who a) never went to the Boulevard and b) people who never stood in 3d stand. There was more to the boulevard than a wooden stand. As a result you will never recreate it at the KC with or without seats.
But don't let me stop people starting threads like this every month.

I sit in the east stand and did both a and b

Hated it at first when the announcer started to call it 'The East Stand Threepenny Stand'.

It's not. But it can be it's own stand in it's own right. I have been in the same seat in South since KC opened, but agree that fans seem to be afraid to let go and make noise. Fans cheer for winning teams, will take a while for the atmospheres to come back.

Shouldn't be this way but IMO the singing and chanting died during the big swearing crackdown at the Boulevard. We don't seem to get songs about players any more either - all we get now is Yeamo Yeamo Yeamo. South Stand takes our cues from East Stand but don't get much started - probably because 60% of the seats around me are occupied by kiddies nursing fruit shoots.

According to a caller on Radio Humberside there's some people in the East stand who are a disgrace for slagging off a player.
So in responce to the OP

will the east stand ever be the new 'threepenny'?

NEVER
