1992 vs The Udders at BP. Neil Mann scored the winner direct from a corner in front of the South Stand!
v Blackburn 1971 City winning 2 - 0 at the time, match abandoned due to fog - me and my Dad was in the Best/West stand 8 years old and my first match was a mid-week abandonment!! The re-match was 0 - 0 and a contributor to us faltering with our promotion push, Blackburn were relegated, City finished 5th
1951....seem to recall being in the North Stand, near the north-west corner, and seeing Raich take corners near me. Who were we playing? Not a clue - can't remember. But I know I went with my grandad on the 69 trolleybus to Meadowbank Road terminus, walked round the corner, under the railway bridge, across the road and onto the cinders. Gramps and I went in through different turnstiles and met up inside. BP was all huge to me as a kid.
1958, We beat Accrington Stanley 2-1. Stood behind the goal at the North Stand End. Nice lady from Accrington kept giving me sweets. Not like that any more is it.
John - Its possible, but I could only go with my dad when he was not working so it must have been Easter I think when he had the day off. When I was allowed to go with my mates, we eventually progressed from the North Stand to Bunkers. Always a good laugh on there with lots of banter and comments which would probably get us arrested now for being non PC. Happy days.
Yeah I remember the 69 bus just stopped at Meadowbank Rd for no reason and turned round. I'm a bit younger than you was that as far as the tracks went? I remember the trolley bus depot next to the railway tracks by Wheeler St but I never understood why the regular buses years later terminated there.
I was twelve when I went to that game, so obviously I'm now 140, though I look a bit older.... Obviously I posted that as a joke, it's our first ever recorded result, back when we were Hull Town FC. I can't remember what my first game really was, but it was probably the mid 70's(that's the 1970's, obviously).
I assumed it must've been Unfortunately been in a family of mainly rugby fans my first game was Hull v Barnet 1999 I think it was, I would've been 9, I went to the match with a Plymouth supporter
I can,t remember the last time I saw Barry. It was after I left school in 1947 But this is only my internet name my real name is Charles but he'll know me by another. I think he used to live off Spring Bank somewhere, but more than sixty years have passed and memory doesn't serve me well. I know Mr Edge was our teacher.
1962 FA Cup match v Crook Town. My Dad took me and I was standing on a wooden step he had constructed and taken into the ground for me to stand on (those were the days of pre-officious stewards!). The result was a 5-4 win for City, but we were, I think, 1-4 down at one point in the second half. I remember us scoring the winner late on and from that moment I was hooked. It was a roller-coaster of a game that just about perfectly sums up what supporting Hull City has been like since then.
