Yeah, Neil Rudd (off Radio Humberside). He'd tweeted a few weeks back about his difficulties with the Toulouse Olympique rugby team - he now probably thinks that was a piece of cake compared to last night.
Where was Burnsy with the all important journalistic investigative leading questions? Has he been banned?
He used our nickname 'The Tigers' (as he would have said 'The Robins' at a HKR game) at no time did he never say Hull Tigers. I have spoken to Rick. I know he and OLM were reporting it as someone else saying it and not Rick.
He called us the tigers! Which I'm fine with! It's the hull tigers no one likes, but I never heard him say that.The Allams have managed to ruin our nickname and that's the sad thing for me!
It is in Holland. They can handle a few visiting fans unlike Humberside Police who went into meltdown at the thought of some Feyenoord fans arriving. You don't think the thought of a few Hull City fans strikes terror into the heart of authorities in Europe do you?
Exactly, they manage to host Feyenoord vs Ajax and the reverse every season which is Ina different league to anything we've ever seen, never mind fans from other countries.
Why was it called off then ? The Mayor of Amsterdam and the Dutch police came to the decision to play the games behind closed doors. I doubt if City will bother organising a friendly in Holland again.
From what I gathered from this morning's show he was at the Paul Heaton gig at HMV in Hull last night. Not sure if he managed to do both but opting for that over a game would surely not fit in with remit of "Hull City Reporter" would it?
If we ever got Ajax or our twin city club Feyenoord over here our OB would insist on playing it at Rovers so they can kettle the Dutch straight off the ferry in Barham on Marfleet Lane all day, City of Culture is closed for Dutch football supporters.
