Very happy, I'm fairly sure it lightly rained in Hull after the match. I can remember people singing and dancing in the streets on the night, though not in Kelso.
I was 16. Got legless and saw the Spencer Davis Group then ended up drinking and dancing round the front room of my then girlfriend's house with her mother, the widow of a Hull trawler owner, who had adopted her before moving to Brid. Great day!
At least two of my friends were born in Hull and support North Ferriby United and don't like Hull City. I have another friend who's an Exeter City fan who was born about three beds down from me on the same day and still lives locally (he used to go home and away until his accident two years ago). It's not that strange at all to me, which is why I never questioned it.
My daughter lives in Scotland and I've never noticed any bitterness when I e been up there . My daughter said shes only had the bitterness once and it was when Eng and Scot drew 2 v 2
It depends on where in Scotland you are. We were in Edinburgh on a stag a few years ago when Scotland beat England in the six nations. The timing couldn’t have been worse. They don’t hate us to the point where they murder us on sight, but they certainly don’t hold any sympathies whatsoever and take great delight in us losing at anything. It might be worse in the darker, northern bits like Dundee and Fife. But I only go to Glasgow and Perth for family reasons so I couldn’t comment. Wouldn’t recommend trying to find out.
They'll kick you on the park, but enjoy a beer & banter with you after. My experience over here over the last 40 years anyway.
I've always had a good time up in Scotland. It's funny in the Highland regions, as lowland Scots are seen as Sassenachs by them, and from my own experience, they prefer the English to the lowlanders up there.
