So if Hull KR got to Wembley or the Grand Final would you be roundly cheering them on? And in 1980 were you delighted at the end of the match? A Hull team won afterall....

To answer your first question yes I would, I don't hate Rovers, but I do enjoy the rivalry. Ideally we'd both finish in the top two and contest the grand final each year, but that's not realistic!

I wasn't alive in 1980 so the second question is irrelevant!

I don't know you slate the Mail for **** reporting and now you slate them for truthful reporting. Christ it wasn't long ago that posters on here where worrying about the attendances at City matches at the KC. And lets face it the derby between Hull and Rovers usually are bumper crowds, probably the highest in the Super League. So they are not reporting much about City at present, well guess what m8 that could be cause the ****ing football doesn't start till mid August.

Did you just type "m8" ?

I can't see why anyone would want a Hull team to do badly(other than a Rovers fan not wanting FC to win), it seems proper cockish to me.

Exactly this^ If some don't like rugby,why not leave it at that ? I don't rate rugby,but that doesn't mean i need to hate it. I'm just indifferent to the sport. "Cockish" yes that's a perfect description...

As cockish as them turning up to boothferry park to cheer on our opposition when we were facing relegation?

There was a season recently - was it last season or the first after relegation from the Prem? - where the BUMPER crowd for the WORLD'S BIGGEST DERBY was lower than all but ONE of City's crowds that season and it only scraped above being lower than all of them by about 50. The HDM reported it as a massive crowd yet City's attendance slump was worrying. And I really dont get your point, what 'truthful reporting' do you refer to? And who said anything about them not reporting on City during the closed season? I have no idea why you brought that up, a lack of City coverage at present wasnt mentioned anywhere by anyone.

It's all relative though.

It was a bumper crowd for a RL game in a sport where average attendances are usually below 10k.

At the time City's attendances were worrying falling some 30% or so in a few seasons.

It's not a comparison of the two it's purely two separate (and accurate) articles that people like yourself have interpreted to be some pro-rugby and anti-football agenda.

If you can't see the pro rugby agenda our council and local media has then you are quite simply stupid
 
Our local councillors are absolutely pro-rugby and anti-football, to the point of making stupid statements about never being able to fill the KC in the Premier League.

Not denying that there is and it's certainly not a debate worth having now.

I was simply saying the examples BCC used were the reporting of accurate facts that didn't justify his conclusions.
 
I don't have any problem with Rugby League. I chose City over FC in the early 80's where previously I'd supported both. Over the years my interest in FC has declined to the point where I only find the results out by chance, sometimes. I'm sure most of this apathy is the ludicrosity (who cares if I just made the word up) of the whole Rugby League structure, the rest from Hull "Sharks" before then.

Even so, until recently, I have had no axe to grind against the eggchasers. This was until I came across the utter knobjockeys that frequent RL forums and a large number of Hull FC fans seemingly irrational hatred of all things Hull City.

I still rather would have a Hull team win, but I have nothing in common with these imbeciles who are so out of touch with reality it's insane.

It's a wee bit of a sweeping generalisation but even normally sane people at work turn into drooling neanderthals when talking rugby. They must put something in the pies on Rugby days.

Amen to that. Can't stand the game. Can't stand the mickey mouse league they're in. It's a thuggish game, played by thugs, and watched by thugs. Yet the media ignore all the trouble and crap they cause. It's baffling.

Nope, 17k for a one city derby in a 'rugby mad town' isn't bumper.

Agree with Airlie Tiger that it was a bumper crowd for RL. In fact the attendance for the derby in March 2013 was 19064, Considering the ave. home crowds up to June 2013 were 12100 for Hull and 7300 for Rovers the 19000 was an excellent turnout although the ave.crowd figs are down across the board compared to 2012.
 
Look North tonight reckons it could focus attention of the city's sporting merit.

Not like playing in the planet's number one league in the planet's number one sport then.
