Them fannies at Brammall lane have called off, ridiculous we're a mile away and kids are happily playing in the garden......how's things looking in Hull?
That sounds like a sleepy afternoon around the hotel pool in Tenerife compared to Birmingham away, St Andrews, not that long ago, The City fans congregated behind one of the goals met a snow hurricane head on, blowing full into their faces. It was so fierce and falling so heavily at one stage that it was impossible to see the the pitch. I'm sure the referee took the players off the pitch for a while until the snow storm passed. I remember the snow, the biting wind and the cold but cannot remember the score. Not as bad as Witton Albion though because most of us headed for the bar under the stand at Brum, nothing of the sort was available to us at Witton.That sounds like a Caribbean holiday in comparison to MK Dons at the old hockey stadium, in around 2004 ish...Game played on a pitch covered by at least two inches of snow...Started snowing after about 10 mins and didn't let up for another 40.....About 500 City fans gathered together in the open end, with zero protection from the elements, huddled there like penguins trying to shield from the windchill of an Arctic blast.
Sunny, in HU7, but heres the disclaimer, that could be deceiving.Them fannies at Brammall lane have called off, ridiculous we're a mile away and kids are happily playing in the garden......how's things looking in Hull?
It's never dull in Hull, sunny but cold. Those telling me inhabitants of advanced countries ride bikes and use public transport can **** right off, no sign of my bus which was due five minutes ago.Them fannies at Brammall lane have called off, ridiculous we're a mile away and kids are happily playing in the garden......how's things looking in Hull?
Doncaster and Rotherham both postponed as well. It must be bad round there.Them fannies at Brammall lane have called off, ridiculous we're a mile away and kids are happily playing in the garden......how's things looking in Hull?

No, was an email sent to me at Wimbledon. But as much as you get upset about Rugby League they play in stadiums too and get the same DCMS rules to abide as football.Did you earn that interesting fact Jim from your time in the tiny world of RL and the 'world famous' Hull derbies?
That is the coldest I’ve ever been (and I also did Witton and the Hockey Stadium). I realised at half time that half my face was caked with ice, and I couldn’t move my legs. I imagined I was nearing death.That sounds like a sleepy afternoon around the hotel pool in Tenerife compared to Birmingham away, St Andrews, not that long ago, The City fans congregated behind one of the goals met a snow hurricane head on, blowing full into their faces.

I never have had the tops taken off when I buy a soft drink in the WU concourse. Not saying that they shouldn’t have done it but I honestly cannot recall it ever happening and we tend to get one every game.Lids are removed from water bottles at football matches primarily for safety and security, to prevent them from being used as projectiles, they’re removed at concerts for the same reason.
Didn't have enough coal to fire the full pitch for some reason.Sounds like a system malfunction at the Blunts more than anything. Part of the pitch frozen despite having the heating on.
I think you know my views on RL in this city Jim. We are all entitled to support who we want and I accept that. But I don't like or agree with the preferential treatment RL fans get in the stadium we share with them in the same city as us. So all DCMS rules ( what ever they are) are not the same are they?No, was an email sent to me at Wimbledon.

If you don't like a sport its OK just to ignore it you know.
Even Helen Keller would struggle to avoid rugby in this city.I think you know my views on RL in this city Jim. We are all entitled to support who we want and I accept that.
