    On this day 114 years ago, the nascent East Riding of Yorkshire Football Association gathered in the Manchester Hotel on George Street in Hull city centre to discuss the creation of a new football team in Hull.

    The outcome was Hull City AFC, founded by Messrs Gilyott, Lilley, Crompton, Ramster, Andrews, Frost, Barraclough, Levitt, Bielby, Emmerson, Shaw, Hay, Hobbs, Morison, Spring and Wrightson. The new club was too late to apply for entry into the Football League for 1904/5 and played a season full of friendlies, before joining the national league in its Second Division a year later.

    Since that day, which is now perilously close to slipping from living memory, we can hardly say that the ride has been dull, can we? Happy Birthday, Hull City AFC.

    Well I never
    ...mind you it was only recently I was talking to him when his brother walked in who I’d known for years from playing rugby together at school. Never put 2 and 2 together so didn’t even realise they were related! <doh>

    Thank **** for Forums eh?

    What would the club do without supporters reminding them of our history?

    For a lot of 'fans', that's probably true.

    Surely a blue plaque on said building is in order?

    One for the HCST to pursue?
