    Me again LOL

    Where's the strangest place you've ran into someone who is a Hull City supporter. I've over the years since i've been in London met several via work, including a Director at our company and weekend events i've gone to for my other interests, I've met fellow Hull City supporters

    I have only ever met one Hull fan, lives in Leeds but his family are from East Yorkshire. Riveting insight I know.

    We went to Mexico in April last year and a guy at the bar recognised the accent and asked were we were from , I said Hull thinking our village of Leven was somewere he would not know. Turns out the couple are also from Leven and are season ticket holders!!!!

    When i was about 10 i met a fellow city fan whilst on holiday in Florida, world is a very small place! I also remember the locals taking a particular interest in The Tigers whenever i wore the shirt, and would ask who this 'Whittle' was and if he played for England!

    First day of uni, in The Polar Bear in Leicester a few years ago (It isn't the same as the Polar Bear in 'ull). Also when we played Arsenal and won, a large contingent were in the local to watch it, not sure why there are so many living in Leicester.

    I saw someone getting a picture next to the pyramids in Egypt in a City shirt and we also met some fellow fans in Cape Town, South Africa, whilst on a cruise around the Cape we got talking to a couple and when i recognised the accent I asked where they were from and it turned out they were both season ticket holders.

    A few seasons ago, I went to Portugal with my family just after we beat Brighton 2-0 on the first day of the season. Burgess 1-2 off the post I think. Anyway, I was wearing my away shirt and a guy came up and ask for the score then proceeded to celebrate hearing that we'd won.

    Apparently when I was in New York a couple of years ago someone had seen my shirt and started singing a City chant to me in the street in an American accent. I had my earphones in at the time so didn't realise but got told off by my mum (I was 25 at the time lol) for ignoring them. It was the American accent that intrigued me about it, we'd been PL for a year but this was in June so it was long before Altidore joined.
