Wow that was a good accomplishment.
I bet the people in charge of the KC, The DW, The Stobart, Headingley (With a new Carnege stand) must have been gutted......................Oh wait.
Comparing apples and oranges sunshine.

Bang on chief.
I actually quite like going when it's bad weather, I find it rather bonding. Bradford a couple of years ago, Leeds about three years ago when it snowed.

Is that the bulls one were we got our asses kicked let's not forget the black and whites are very fragile now u know, they forget they once had to stand the same as us it's quite funny I think, they've all turned into snobs

Doublespeak, it's the new form of attack\defence and I think seventies red has done it quite well.
Very predictably hooked in "I'll bite at everything", come on you 'ull.

Me too. I don't mind standing. Or bad weather. Just Craven Park.

Why is it cos u can't stand handing over ur hard earned cash to rovers, yet if we did it to fc on derby day the only time of the year the kc has an atmosphere u wud be calling us

The south end at Craven Park leaves a lot to be desired we all know this. Rovers know this too and are trying very hard to make ground improvements which would put this right. That's all there is to it for now, we all hope not for much longer.

Hull fans are entitled to stay away if they wish. If Rovers could 'magic' up a solution I'm sure they would I'm sure they'd like Hull to match the 6,500 Rovers take to the KC. At £20 a ticket that's worth £130k.

If I were a Hull fan I reckon I might stay away too if the game was televised but I wouldn't miss the game otherwise. Let's be honest any Hull fan that is keen enough could easily have got a ticket for the well or North Stand.

As for the Gordon St end at The Boulevard it was awful easily as far away from the pitch as Rovers south stand. But back then people didn't worry as much about faciities. The threepenny stand would not come near to meeting H & S requirements and there were only a few hundred seats nothing like as many as (Old) Craven Park.

For me Craven Park (old) was a far better ground but The Boulevard did have a bigger capacity which is why it got the odd minor international game.

Neither ground would have met current SL standards I dare say.

Yeah, Andy Lynch (a prop!) scored straight from a kick off, iirc, ffs.

Yep was there was not impressed in my straight hair gone curly to wet rat then getting asse kicked

Didn't understand a word of that, love.

You know perfectly well what I meant, sunshine. The Boulevard was selected as an international ground over New Craven Park as it was a better ground.

Ugh really can't be bothered to do it again to busy watching bgt

I'm not sure that I would. Not if we charged you £50 a ticket, anyway.

Were charging u 50 quid a ticket day light bloody robbery that we should be charging u 70 at least

the tickets are 20 quid but those compulsary tetanus short really bump the price up!

p.s who do u want to win bgt

Lol I like the first one is it steven hall of the matrix dancer Wat bout u

stay on topic mate! your south stand is pants!

We really like stephen too he makes us laugh! I just really dont want that little kid to win!

Defo steve or raz he was awesome and our south stand is pants but our east stand is grt

dont mind your golf stand, will make it alot better when they put that to the south

didnt think much to raz. No were near as good as his semi final one. HATE new bounce!

You are correct in your initial obsevation Mrs B, that i did and am accusing your stay away freinds as fair -weather supporters,
If you read my post [ucarefuly[/u , you will hopefuly be capable of realizing that i was replying to one of your fellow supporters comments regarding not turning up to craven park due to its apparent lack of facilities, i.e open stands no cover, or issues with distance from playing area etc etc and would we do the same if the boot was on the other foot?, to which i replied, myself and many other Kr fans have done exactly so on many occasions at the old Boulevard, in all weathers and despite our league position at the time, they were Derby games and nothing else mattered, we were certainly were not put of by the faclities at the Boulevard which incidently from my experiences were far worse than what currently exist at Craven park ,( which part of that didnt you understand Mrs B?)




Now considering the fact that a great number of your fans have stated on many occasions in the past that lack of facilities at NCP were in most cases the reasons for not attending Craven, you have to ask the question why now?, what has suddenly changed?, has Craven park been miraculously transformed overnight with a new North and South stands erected etc?, i mean surely it cant be something to do with the fact that Hull fc fortunes are currently looking rosier on the playing side.

Like i say Mrs B, consider the fact that a great many of those Fc fans turning up tommorow are the same ones who previously stated they would not attend CP on derby days simply because of the standard of the ground with the fact that nothing has changed on that front since, does in fact sugggets that many of of your fans are fair-weather supporters, (is it the fair-weather bit your'e having the problem with?)

.

According to slstats, the highest CP derby attendance so far was September 2008, 10,189. FC were next to bottom. The point being that you assume a perfect correlation between FC's expectation of victory and attendance. That's clearly untrue and unfair. You are attempting to create a "fair-weather" story when there's none to be had. The attendance will be high tomorrow for a number of reasons. Rovers are favourites with all the bookmakers as far as I am aware, attracting extra home support. The match is not being televised, which is unusual. That will add to the gate. There is nothing between the clubs in performance, few points between us and both losing our last games. A close game may therefore be expected by some. There may be some people who are more inclined to go when they expect their team to win and less when expecting a loss. Excellent example of this being the missing 2500 Rovers supporters that were AWOL at the DW last week. I think for many FC fans they object to Hudgell's deliberately antagonistic approach to our club and it's supporters and the fact that CP is substandard in terms of facilities is one reason not to go but not the main one.


I won't be there BTW. It's a matter of principle for me.

Steve hall then lol

we was robbed!!!!!!!!!!

Would that be when NCP had a swamp for a pitch?
Would that be when the pitch was the size of a postage stamp?
Would that be when NCP had floodlights that would have struggled to light my back garden?
Would that be when NCP couldn't even get 10k inside it?
Like I said apples and oranges.
You comments are OOC we are talking about NCP NOW not 10 years ago.

ur not bloody wrong there how rude
