Obviously doesn't know how to run a club or build a fan base like the business genius we have in charge of us. Hasn't shortened the name from Huddersfield Town to Huddersfield Terriers to appeal o dog lovers all over the world.
Is letting fans in for ridiculously low prices, especially kids. When will he learn?

I know you like a bit of football memorabilia. So, regarding Huddersfield Town with a Hull City connection, the Huddersfield keeper in this was my dad's English teacher in Leeds.

Penalty was in last minute of extra time in a Cup Final replay. Reember my dad saying he came in on Friday morning to set things up the left to join his team mates and was back at school Monday morning. Got picked for 3 England squads but never played.Like a lot of others his career was buggered up by the war. He served with the Chindits for three years (must have been quite a bloke). Moved to Blackpool a few years after the war. Then to what was then Northern Rhodesia, where he had 3 kids. One Steve played professional rugby league for Warrington and until recently was their all time record points scorer and is still their record kicker. The other Bob Jr, played rugby union for Bristol and was capped by England. The third, name of Iain followed in his footsteps as a goalkeeper.

Bob Hesford must have carried some sporting genes. All of us dads would like to have 3 sons like that. Most of us were happy to see one in the school team.<laugh>

Died, after an eventful live, at the too young age of 66.

I wondered the same and had a look, couldn't work it out either.

No matter which stat you use (working age or total population) for either 68% in work and 8% out of work doesn't add up. Don't know if I'm missing something.

My curiosity lasted about 3 minutes before I saw it for what it is and filed it away under 'statistics' (i.e. Total bullshit)

14,200 jobs created in Hull as city becomes UK hotspot for research

Hull's employment rate is now the highest it's ever been

Hull has become a UK hotspot for industrial research and development thanks to an unprecedented £578m wave of investment.

The growth in new facilities is being hailed as one of the reasons behind the turnaround in the city's econcomy.

Recent figures show Hull's employment rate is now 68 per cent - the highest ever recorded.

Compared to five years ago, there are an extra 14,200 people employed in the city.

City council regeneration director Mark Jones
City council regeneration director Mark Jones said the surge in major research and development activity was a key factor in Hull's revival as it meant high-quality jobs were being created.

"Unlike the rest of the country, Hull is not in negative figures in terms of capital investment," he said.

"I think there's a very good story coming together about what I call the producer economy in Hull.

"We are seeing a lot of capital investment by the big corporate names at the same time as the City of Culture. It's a real convergence of opportunity."

Mr Jones said the development of new research and development facilities at existing manufacturing plants by the likes of Smith & Nephew, RB and Croda were all significant investments.
"What we are seeing is the ability of producer companies to control their own destiny because r&d is all about innovation and looking ahead to the next product.

New laboratory development facility for pharmaceutical company Indivior in Priory Park.
"Having them based at existing plants also strengthens their presence here. It means they are much less likely to be closed at the whim of an accountant.

"What we have got in Hull is a coming together. That doesn't happen in the UK car industry. Take Nissan, it has its manufacturing plant in the North-East and its R&D facility in the Home Counties."

Mr Jones said the challenge now was to persuade Hull's big corporate names to open their supply chains to local businesses.

"Hull is unique in the way it has brought capital into play and the city council has played a big part in that by investing in the city centre and its facilities.

"That sends a signal to investors that Hull is open for business. It's a cliche but we have walked the walk and I believe Hull is now one of the most successful areas in ther UK in terms of bringing capital and human resources together."

Fantastic article and agree it's great for Hull, but as I've said numerous times now, the vast majority is exsisting companies expanding, or linked to siemens.

It's absolutely fantastic these places are expanding and spending money in the city and bringing new jobs and all those sights are impressive, the only one I've not been to in person is the one in saltend (not sure it's started yet ) but my point stikl stands....take out exsisting hull companies, stuff that's linked to siemens and there isn't huge amount of new business investment in hull compaired to other major UK cities
