They are in front of the sign that says "your ideal move to Stoke is only a few years away"

 

Nobody's ideal move is ever Stoke. FACT

 

The new Chief Constable wants 21st century policing.

 

Understandable and not exactly unexpected. At least it's the same day.

 

Are all the Yorkshire games going to be moved? Wouldn't be surprised.

 

If plod has been reading that rough pub thread you will be lucky if the games are on, at any time.

 

Why? They can't cope with 2,500 away fans? Other places seem to manage. Good job we won't ever be a World Cup ground. Imagine the state of panic at the thought of thousands of Poles and Russians turning up. Or a load Germans.
Has there been any trouble at the last games against Leeds?

 

Moved to a deserted island if Humberside Plod had their way.

 

Yes yes you're right. No other games ever get moved.

The lack of trouble couldn't possibly be down to the way way they're policed either.

It's also obviously the reason why we'll never hold a World Cup game. Nowt to do with size or location.

I missed your angry uninformed rants btw. Welcome back.

 

Calm down Happy. How many Leeds games against other Yorkshire teams will be moved because of police "advice"?
The lack of trouble is a chicken or egg situation.

In 1966 Boothferry Park missed out to Hillsborough by one vote. Has Hull shrunk or moved since then?

 

No need to get all het up fella.

Things have changed somewhat in the past 50 years.

 

So Hull has shrunk or moved? It is more difficult to get to than 50 years ago? That will be why places like Milton Keynes made thevshortlistbfor possible World Cup venues but Hull didn't.

 

I was at this game, and there was quite a lot of things kicking off.

 

Wouldn't have happened nowadays. Imagine the Plod's reaction to 40,000 arriving from out of town, 15-20,000 from Leeds. 2,500 Leeds fans causes them to have a nervous breakdown these days.

 

BTW, When the World Cup was awarded to England only Hillsborough and Goodison outside of Wembley had more seats than Boothferry Park. Though by the time it was played Old Trafford had as well.
Places like Sunderland and Middlesbrough had to put in temporary seating to meet FIFA equirements.

 

Yes I remember that, and as you say we were close to getting the gig. I just sent that to show we did get from time to time games that had to be at a neutral ground, which showed we had a good enough capacity to stage them..

 

There was certainly some good players on show.

 

Missed out to Hillsborough by one vote.

 

The programme editor was clearly impressed with the Sunderland number 5.
