https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=U...=uk&ei=rJ-cUvjzK8zy7AaBrYDwBQ&ved=0CCsQ8gEwAA What do the call the place at the side of the Humber which has expanded since the days it was on the side of the River Hull? Which was originally called Wyke. Bloody name changes. No wonder the place has gone downhill as they made the name longer.
Wyke was originally called Hull, and the Hull expanded to incorporate other villages and parishes. The name Wyke was pretty much rejected when they tried to force it in, but not as strongly as when some fool tried Humberside for a short time last decade. Surely, by your logic, we should be Northumberland.
I thought it was Wyke upon Hull when founded by those monks wanting a port to export their wool? And then renamed Kingston Upon Hull. Didn't think there were any previous references to a town called Hull? Funny enough there is supposedly a campaign for what was originally known as Northumbria to break away from England and be independent. Stretches as far south as Sheffield and as far west as Liverpool.
Thought it waa generally known, though to be more correct where we are now situated was part of Northumbria. All here if you are interested in extending your general knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumbria
They are just thick. No research done at all. 90% of the national media are utterly clueless on many clubs and not just Hull City.
Hull= a city and unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire actually.
