Kings of the North East?

After yesterdays victory at SoL Hull have beaten Newcastle,Sunderland(x2) and Boro.Does that mean we are the Kings or do we have to be above you in the table.

 

Could be Queens as well if you want. Not bothered really but nice of you to visit our board.

 

You are East, but are not, and will never, be North. Not in my book anyway. Southerners eh?

Nice bridge, though.

 

Was thinking this myself. Hull might be in the north-eastern quarter of England, but it is definitely not in the North -East. I would class Carlisle as local rivals before I ever thought of Hull that way.

That's not to take away from the fact you're having a decent season and that you've had some good results!

 

I'm a traditionalist and don't believe in the term 'north-east' at all - it's a relatively recent appellation. For me, the northern part of England includes Lancashire, Yorkshire and the North (Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham). I'd be very happy to include north and east Yorkshire in a new semi-autonomous region of the UK known as Northumbria, with the capital in Newcastle (amalgamated with Gasteshead) of course.

How can Coventry be in the West Midlands and yet Newcastle, which is further west, can be described as the north-east? And how can a region that narrows to 60 miles from coast to coast be described as having an east and west in the same way as the south, where the distance is 360 miles?

So good luck to Hull City. You've done had a great season and I wish you well, but you're in Yorkshire not the north-east.

 

Yorkshire and the Humber is the recognised region in which Hull resides by pretty much every measure. So no, you are not, unless you want to uproot the whole city.

Good result yesterday though...

 

For me I struggle to think of Middlesboro' as the North East, never mind Hull.

 

Kings it is then

 

You and me both!

 

Hull? Isn't that somewhere near London?

And wtf are you supposed to be called? Calamity?

 

Afraid you will have to be content with kings of Yorkshire.

 

Can't believe estuary boy came on here with this **** too


Lives in a sewer! He ****ing lives in a sewer! Lives in a Sewer! He ****ing lives in a Sewer!

 

Gasteshead? That's almost as bad as classing Hull in the North East.

 

Blimey! Crikey!

 

No, it would have to be durham. The cathedral can be the parliament building.

 

It's much too good to be used as a Parliament building.

 

Fine then the castle. Or if thats still too good there is always Yatess on North Road.

 

I see the OP has had a 'red bar' welcome. lol.

 

Is that better than Yates?

 

Hull in the North East since when exactly?
