    P.S. They actually lost the recording for a pre-match rendition of 'God Save The Queen', but they did at least apologise at half-time.

    Hell yeah! There was a lot of hot babes at the game, many wearing very little because of the heat. But they'd probably be put off by your flat hat, black knee-length socks, and tan sandals. But on the other hand, they'd be enthralled by your foreign accent. (We still get it after living here for 30 years.)

    'Flat hats' are in again here.
    Do they have line-dancing at half time?

    Have whippets made a come-back too?
    Line dancing? No, they never have around here, but me 92-year old mam still does that in Ull -- with a stick these days. It's an Olde-Worlde thing, ya know.

    How I envy you there.
    America seems to be getting a lot of bad press just recently with all these trigger-happy dudes.
    I'm sure it's all exaggerated.

    No, it's not exaggerated. It's almost as bad as France. The cops over here have been murdering people (mainly, but not only, blacks) for years now. To me, it seems to be 50% justifiable (e.g., provoked), and 50% totally unjustifiable. But over here we don't have many of the pea-brained bovver-boys, randomly attacking innocent victims -- even grannies, just for the sake of it. I've personally witnessed more unwarranted violence in 40 years of living in England (mainly in Ull -- admittedly, decades ago), than I have in 30 years of living in Cincinnati.
    If I thought we'd be happier and safer in the UK, we'd move back in a heartbeat. But we wouldn't, and we won't.

    On a related topic tickets go on sale tomorrow for the visit by Arsenal to Sydney in July 2017 for 2 matches with the two Sydney A League clubs at the former Olympic stadium(capacity now 83,500). The matches will be played on the 13th and 15th of July and the initial announcement in May said that ticket allocation could be exhausted within hours!

    I have already been offered tickets from commercial sources.

    Arsenal last came here 40 years ago and Hull City have never played in Aus.

    HCAFC don't seem to count for much on the international scene. Cincinnati (with The Bengals) and Hull City (with The Tigers) would seem to be an ideal match for a friendly. It's called Marketing ...

    If it requires marketing then that's us out of it.

    My main reason for pasting the lengthy and highly fawning 'report' from our local rag, was to show the reverence in which even a relatively humdrum outfit like 'The Eagles' is held over here. Imagine the interest a pairing between 'The Bengals' and 'The Tigers' could generate -- if managed properly.

    Went to NYC got told "Don't go past 8th Ave", had a look at 9th, seemed deserted so went as far as 10th - **** all there.
    Went to the Windy City, got told "Whatever you do avoid the South side, especially on foot." Saw Cabrini Green, nowt special.
    Not been to LA, this Bloods v Crips thing, is that like Boothferry v Hessle in the late 70s/early 80s?
    Chapeau for bovver-boys

    I fail to see how you can question the accuracy of the report without seeing the game.

    The idea of a report is to give a reflection of the game to people who didn't see it. That is the idea of reports. Are only people who watched the game supposed to read reports? I suppose back in the days of the Green in the days games weren't on TV no one who wasn't actually at the game should have bothered reading a report.
    It was quite reasonable to question these ludicrous reports where everyone gets a better rating in a rugby defeat than they do in a football victory. Or where 2,000 crowds get 9 out of 10 for atmosphere whilst 25,000 crowds get. 6.

    I'm yet to see any atmosphere rating for any game in the HDM, rugby or football.

    Do you buy the HDM every weekend? They had them in for a long time. Don't know if they still do as ?I never buy one now. You are wrong state they have never had ratings for atmosphere.
