I think it was worse in the 80s tbh, Good Friday was a testament to that! I remember massive police presence and horses down Airlie Street during derbies.

It maybe was or maybe the bad memories fade quicker than the good. Brickings at the boulevard and seemingly a hell of a lot more trouble than we see nowadays or maybe it was because I was a hell of a lot younger in the 80's and saw it more.

I do believe that the City and the sport is a far more attractive proposition with 2 sides in SL than it is with just one.

I do agree but the buzz around the city was amazing and to be fair rugby in Hull is better now than it was in the late 90's early 2000's. There is more to talk about and if you discount some of the lower common denominators on RLfans the banter is still good and in the whole good natured. Nothing better than having one over on my B&W friends and vice versa for them.

Oh yes the buzz was awesome in the 80s!!

I think the problem is the newish supporters would sooner win a derby than any-thing else!! me personally I would lose every-one if it guaranteed a piece of silverware

Me too, but in the dry years its at least a bit of consolation. (you'll have to take my word for that

)

And similar comments from Rovers fans when faced with the rumour of the CP derby being moved to the KC. The same attitudes exist among both sets of fans.

As a Leeds fan I love this knowing how much it must pain you that we smash you constantly.

Or it's promised payments in years to come, like been paid 50 grand for a coaching clinic after playing days are over.

We will see this season

If that's the case then it's daft. Surely you go to support your club.

Saying that I have refused to go in the past but that was back in the days of Rovers being in the national leagues and I ended up giving the RSG £15. Can't remember what the full circumstances where, Hull offered us 15k to play a game. I refused to go as I was left feeling Hull where taking the mick out of ourselves. We where doing a good enough job of that ourselves at the time. Hull come back saying we could have 50% of the North stand receipts IIRC. Not sure if that game went ahead in the end. My memory is fading me?

Well it's got to come to an end at some point! It went past embarrassing a few seasons ago.

Suppose 2005 was a few seasons ago. More Embarrassing for your lot that night wasn't it?

Haven't bothered to read through the whole 12 pages but it's a little bit self centred to think you are the most hated team in SL.
'Some' Wakefield fans have been irritated by the attacks on Agar but to be honest, most are happy with our team now (including coach) and just want to get on with the season

You see we have been champions 4 times and wc champs since then! We are also current champions. So we have nothing to be embarressed about! until hull fans mention the cc I dont really remember it. In a nut shell Leeds fans simply don't care about 05 and thats just being honest.

The fact that you last beat us 5 seasons ago is very funny and should bother you.

Well that could be due to Gary putting money into your team and Kath taking it out of ours. Only surmising of course!!

Yep it's got nothing to do with home grown talent a quality signings

Woah we last beat you April 9th 2011. Lets have no confusion here.

Christ! You call Wire fans arrogant and then make posts like that. Looks to me that you've got the perfect combination, ignorance and arrogance.

His comment was about Hudgell and the only thing wrong with it was that it was too tame as the swear filter prevents a far more fitting description for that pint sized ball of slime.

Obviously a joke!(that I don't get) But the last time FC beat Leeds in SL or CC was September 2007.

I would have thought a simple glance at Easty's avatar will clear up your confusion.

Easty is clearly a Rovers fan.

will always rovers home and away.

Just a quick look to the left...

I don't hate any club. I find that all their fans contain some idiots (including ours - I'm a Leeds fan by the way) but generally if you're in the pub before or after a game you can have a decent bit of friendly banter with fans of any team. Anyone who has been to more than one professional football match will know how lucky we are with that. Despite often being told on here how hated and arrogant I am, by virtue of supporting Leeds, I've never had any problem with FC fans, who are a pretty decent bunch. Cardiff (and Bath) 2005 was probably my favourite RL weekend. Shame we lost, but it was a great game (any Leeds fan who claims they don't really remember it is either lying or wasn't there) and your fans created an awesome atmosphere.

For all your rivalry with KR, you've got a lot going for you having them around. It makes Hull the most genuinely RL-centred city in the country. As a Leeds fan we don't really have a meaningful derby since Hunslet fell behind in the modern era. Our biggest rivalry (Wigan -disastrously - in the 90s, Bradford in the early 2000s, Saints in the last 5 years) have just been with whoever we are competing with most directly. It'd be great to have a derby that meant more than that. I'd still dearly love, more than any otyher team, to beat Wigan in a big final, but only because we've never done it and we owe them a few after the 90s. I have no issue with the club or its fans.

I spend a fair bit of time in Hull, I love your city and good luck to you whenever you're not playing Leeds. True story.

Longer story than I meant it to be...
