Reality in general sounds like it'd be news to you.
Originally it was the Hull Whites web site, but they had to merge it with the East Yorkshire one due to a lack of interest. Easy enough to find. If you mattered I'd post the link for you.

Yeah link would be good. Like I say, every time I've walked through the coach bays this season, I've seen a 70ish seater coach with HULL WHITES sign stuck to the window.

Gosh, how interesting. Now run along and find someone that gives a ****. While you're away, have a look for the Ey whites web site that makes you look a chump. BYE.

Now, where were we before we were rudely interrupted by the irrelevant one? Ah yes, the HDF.
 
Firstly, it is possible to be a Leeds fan without going to games. And with a lot of the Hull based Leeds fans not living right next to Elland Road, they might still want news updates from their local paper even if they don't make many games. Aside from that, every single home game there's a 70 seater coach in the bus bays which comes from Hull. There's also the East Yorkshire branch of the (independent) Supporters Club which doesn't park in the bays reserved for official regional members coaches.

So I'd like to see this bit about not being able to fill a minibus because that's news to me.

As far as Leeds fans go, you've always struck he as half decent, but on this one, you're miles out.

There is no significant Leeds following in Hull any more, in fact, there's probably less Leeds fans in Hull, than there is Man United fans in Leeds.

What chance your local rag in Leeds would do a piece on Man United?

I bet there's more Barcelona fans in Hull then there is Leeds fans now, maybe we should have a La Liga pull out in every Friday edition?

Pester them about the policing and how humberside police constanly fail to gather intel on the number of aways fans actually traveling to the KC! Also, how they treat the home fans like known hooligans but let the away fans run riot without any consequences!!!!
 
There's also car and train users, plus the vast majority who don't go to games. Google Trends suggests that there is bigger interest in Beverley and Hull for Leeds United than for Man U or Barcelona. There's no sure fire way of telling anyway, it's a silly argument. The Yorkshire Evening Post's sports pages have a section which covers the main stories in English football which caters for Man U, Liverpool etc. fans based in Leeds. I'm sure it covers Champions League too when there's a story to be done.

Forgetting that, a Leeds story is of interest to Hull City fans too is it not? Your playoff qualification depends on whether we **** up or not over the next four games. I'd say we're a pretty relevant team to be covering in a Hull-based newspaper for that reason alone.

I did search for it and it doesn't seem to exist. You did offer to give me a link, you don't have to be a cock just because you were apparently wrong.
 
I think the comparison to the 2007/08 promotion season is a good idea, put in stuff such as wages/transfer budgets spent, financial condition of the club, attendances etc. I don't agree with Leeds getting a piece in the Hull Daily Mail, unless they were going to do a weekly feature on each of the play off contenders, and even then it seems rather pointless seeing as how it's the HULL daily mail.

Not that many people will care, but Ferriby are looking good for a play off spot; if they reach the final, will there be newspaper coverage/radio coverage? If promoted, they will only be a league below Grimsby and I'd much rather have my City commentary interrupted with "There's been a goal down at The Rapid Solicitors Stadium" than having to listen to John Tonder's boring voice prattling on about how Grimsby have pissed a 2-0 lead up the wall.
 
Quite funny this I was in Liverpool yesterday and I thought how the hell have 2 cities of a similar size, similar history regarding docks etc have such a different sporting occasion. They have the world renowned merseyside derby, we have the ****ing peanut hugging regional wrestle fest. That isn't really of any interest to the majority of people in our own fair city. Rugby league = s h I t e

Listen to Sky Sports when it's FC vs KR and they make it sound like it's Liverpool-Everton.

You're completely missing the point.

We are in Hull, we want to read about Hull City, yet our local rag employs a tosser who supports Leeds who instead of writing an article about Leeds being on the wobble and the fact that we might take 6th place this weekend, writes a load of old bollocks about Leeds United holding onto a play-off place.

There's 500,000 people here, not 1% of them support Leeds United, there's no place for ****ers writing pro Leeds bollocks in our papers. If he meets with a sticky end tomorrow, I suspect that there will be more street parties than there will be for the royal wedding and rightly so.
 
If you go to the Fail website and click on 'sport', you get ten stories, here's today's:

HULL KR: Mason and Dobson exclusives only in today's Mail

HULL KR: Mason has signed Toulon deal according to Aussie press reports

HULL FC: Martin Gleeson – this is a fresh start, my mistakes are in the past

HULL FC: Manu will be back as Agar tries to maintain focus

HULL CITY: Gerrard – future's bright, with or without play-off success

HULL KR: This is one derby we can't afford to lose, admits Fisher

HULL KR: Sheriff could be handed derby role and Newton returns

HULL KR: Rovers to make statement on Michael Dobson and Willie Mason tomorrow

HULL FC: Don't drop Sam so I can start ... Long set for Rovers return

HULL FC: Gleeson will thrive on derby challenge, says Agar

Nine different egg chasing stories, most of which are about one game, a game that interests far less people than the football match the following day.

They could perhaps be forgiven this, as the rugby game is a day earlier, but I suspect we'll see the same tomorrow and the day after and yesterday they actually ran an article by Nick Woods, on Leeds play-off chances.

They really are a bunch of clueless ****ers.

i agree No. 1, however, we all have to remember that the vast majority of their readership has a low reading age, they are also rugby fans predominantly from Hull's socially deprived estates, and they tend to be thick enough to buy and believe the paper's content religiously on a daily basis with unquestioning loyalty. Unlike your average more cosmopolitan minded football fan. It's no coincidence that the Professionalism and quality of journalism at the yorkshire post produces a higher quality story for your average football fan!
 
End of the day, why shouldn't they run a piece about Leeds? I'm sure a significant section of the paper's readership supports Leeds or is at least affected by the happenings at the club. And yes that includes Hull fans who are looking to overtake us in the table. The rugby thing's annoying though, must be irritating to be a football fan in a city of that nature.

A significant section of the paper's readership supports Leeds? Not really. Some inadequates who decided to support a club from another city when their local side wasn't doing well. no different from the Man Utd fans from Essex so despised by proper fans everywhere, incluidng Leeds based Leeds fans. What do you think of someone born in Leeds telling you theythey are Man Utd or Chelsea fans or whatever?

As far as rugby goes, rugby fans in Hull say it isn't crowd sizes that decide whether somewhere is a rugby city or not. It is the amount of trophies won.On that basis Leeds is a rugby city.

Nick Wood is a twat. He is from Bradford but "supports" Leeds United. wonder if he is a Rhinos fan as well?
 
True, Yorkshire Post is a decent read.

Probably cos it's written in Leeds.

Well, it is a paper which supports the Conservatives. Maybe that is why you approve of it.

The Hull Daily Mail won the Yorkshire Paper of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007. My enquiry of if that was the case what on earth was the second placed one like lead to my e-mail address getting a ban from their website.
