Boothferry Park

Football specials make sense. I don't remember using one, but I bet they were a craic.

 

When I lived on Newland Ave I got the Fish Dock bus and got off at the end of Albert Ave. From there I walked up Anlaby Road. When we moved I walked from Hall Road. The money I saved paid for the programme.

 

I think the Fish Dock bus was the number 26.

 

Never went on one for home games.

But o my Lord.......the away trains.

 

But o my Lord.......the away trains.

Went on a few away specials back in the day..
Norwich away 3rd round FA Cup 1971, springs to mind for some reason. The 3-0 win might have something to do with it.

 

Boothferry Park

The greatest football stadium in the world to me.

Still remember the first time my dad took me v Mansfield Town in 1966

I fell in love with the place

My best football memories are all stored in my head and all of them are at Boothferry Park

All seat modern stadiums are ****e in my opinion of course.

My fav game ever was Hull City v Stoke City in the fa cup

The first time I got my dad to stand on bunkers as he was a west stander

Great memories of my dad leaping about when waggy scored 2 goals .

Boothferry Park was always a great place to go with your mates.

Even when players were not very good

 

I traveled from Scarborough with my City Scarf on with a load of Scarborough Fans sat around me....though I knew a few of them so no trouble was encountered.

 

71f was the bus I often caught to BP on greenwood ave

I think the last footy special train I went on was to Burnley

 

Eyup Scarbs, a Scunthorpe fan traveled on our coach to Wembley 2008. Nice lad aswell. Just wanted see us win and get to the Premier League. Said he'd be coming to a few of our games when Scunny weren't playing.

 

"Fearless Filey"...it's got a certain ring to it.

 

Lol

It helped knowing a few Scarborough fans or I would have had my scarf in my pocket



I think I had only been to 2 Scarborough games and one was v wolves . (until 3 season ago )

I would never have gone to Scarborough games back then even though I lived near to the chip stadium



Strange how things can alter .

 

Anybody on here travel to Elland Rd against Blyth Spartans in 1980 or 81 when it broke down at Anlaby Rd flyover, Cockney Jacko walking on the toof of the train to "discus" the matter with the driver?

 

Yep..

 

I remember going there back in the 70s to watch speedway there - White City Rebels v Hull Vikings. The stadium had a capacity of around 80,000 and there couldn’t have been more than 3,000 - 4,000 in the stadium, which was a weird experience. Fond memories of watching speedway at other London tracks (Hackney & Wimbledon) which are now long gone.
