| Quote ="Kosh"Try visiting the Sin Bin.
I don't agree with that view of the atmosphere at The Boulevard personally. I also don't agree that it was always better than the atmosphere at the KC. I think that the truth, as usual, lies somewhere in between.
Atmosphere, or lack of it, can be a very individual thing. How you are feeling on the day, how the game plays out, whereabouts in the stadium you are, the type of stadium, the people nearby - these all play a factor.'"
yeah, furry muff that, agreed

| Quote ="Raggytash"The last game against New Zealand was a flat atmosphere was it? Was you on glue? For gods sake, the game against Batley where Chico went 90 yards was a better atmosphere than most are now. The game against Huddersfield when we sang at Schofield until he was beating his fists on the floor to our rapturous applause. Was that flat? The game against Sheffield that kept us up and we all ran onto the pitch and held the players aloft. Was that boring? These games aren't myths.'"
No, but you clearly were.
NZ game - party, friendly, nothing game in reality.
Chico went 90 yards against Whitehaven who brought about 6 fans, no real noise made through out the game.
Hudds game - we had a great performance against our nearest rivals. basically you are saying it took the players on the field to get the fans going.
Sheffield game - granted, the fans were up for that one.
Ultimately its the fanes the generate the noise, not the ground

| Quote ="Smiggs"In it's later years I agree the atmosphere was, on the whole, very poor. But during the late 70's and early 80's it was the most intimidating ground in rugby league, some of the toughest teams just turned to jelly when met by the wall of noise that was the threepenny stand. Sadly when the old stand was demolished the atmosphere that made the place so special went with it.'"

| Quote ="hull smallears"Sorry but you are simply wrong.
Why is it that former players always harped on about the "magnificent" hull fans and the fact they could often be a 14th man? Cos it was a s4it atmosphere?
Just face facts that the KC, magnificent stadium as it is, is more often than not sterile'"
Have you ever heard any player of any team slate the fans of a club they have just left (Paul Cooke excluded).
The manificent fans thing is based in the numbers that travelled and vocally supported the team on their travels.
Having spoken to several players from years gone by, the ones who played in period 1993-1996 would have a very different opinion.

I am not referring to former FC players. Use Shaun Edwards, joe Lydon, Johnathan Davies etc

What? The game where he was playing on the left wing, caught an interception, went the length and then laid down for about 2 minutes? Pretty sure it was Batley! I remember it as Tomlinson throwing the intercept!
Who cares if it's the players that got us going or not? It still resulted in the ground being atmospheric?
Just watched my Hull tries video from '96 and in almost EVERY home game you can hear the fans going off!

Because the sound was recorded from opposite the 3d, perhaps?

TBF, you would kind of expect that from a compilation tape of us scoring tries.

How could it be? According to you lot you couldn't hear the 3d from any other part of the ground!

You do also remember the microsphones in the 3d, linked to the tannoy system? (although that was soon stopped)

the fact it was felt needed kind of blows your argument clean out of the water though.

It's not an argument, I'm just relaying my memories. I remember plenty of games when we made that volume ourselves.

You think a scoring move consists of only 3 or 4 tackles?
Or that a team may not be in a dominant position leading up to the scoring of a try?
Think some common sense is needed on both sides of this debate.

You think we didn't score any interceptions, tries from broken play or long range tries?
I agree regarding common sense but the opposing sides have very different interpretations.

No, it confimrs, at best, that the crowd made some noise which was captured by audio/visual equipment and added to some well edited highlights.

| What I would like to know is why members and so called fans, hate our history, fans and ground. Why proceed in slating the club, spiritual home and history.
It's not called for, we have red and white chums to assist us with that

Can't see anyone doing that, just correcting innacurate memories of the Boulevard, based on experiences of being there.
