Credit where it's due. I enjoy many of Tubbys City posts. All good stuff. Seems a good bloke/bird.

But I just don't get the attitude to rugby league with some City fans. Our rugby teams should bring a sense of pride. Not derision.

Anyway...

It's not derision. I'm just genuinely interested why the local BBC employ people who feel as though it's acceptable to broadcast absolute tosh about this 'divided city' nonsense. There was never going to be 'over 50,000' watching fc v hkr today. So why do we have this nonsense broadcast over the airwaves as though it's true?
 
The capacity wasn't 50,000 as the upper tier was closed.

The question is, why is it acceptable for local media to grossly exaggerate one sport, when they do the opposite for City?

RH seem to have a vested interest in over -emphasizing the size of the popularity and interest or RL locally.
The only unknown is why they do this.

Self-interest in preserving spots journalists' jobs?
BBC micro-socialist policy to cover each local sports team in equal measure, rather than on the varying levels of popularity or size? (Note: the BBC now consciously do this with Women's Football, often placing it alongside the men's game in the News)
However, there still seems to be an unwritten rule that 'the PL Establishment' get preferential treatment in BBC football programmes. Most of the pundits seem to have links with either Arsenal, LFC or MUFC, although Kilbane, Shearer are neutral enough .

The HDM seem to be similar to RH in that they measure the local RL teams in a completely different way to City on terms of atmosphere, entertainment and difficulty of challenge.

Again, journalistic job preservation distorts the modest popularity of RL to make it seem more interesting and appealing. The Emperor's New Clothes springs to mind.

It's not derision? You're focusing on your Humberside conspiracy now.

However your original post said:

'Not so special weekend'

'Chunky league'

'Fc v revers'

Derision?? Yup. Deny it again...

OVER 50,000 AT THE fc v Revers third derby of the season at Newcastle ( 3rd derby in 7 weeks) In excited radio Humberside properganda tones all week for the not very magic weekend of chubby league between fc and revers was really just over 5,000.
HTF do they get away with downright lies like that, and why do they think they have to justify it ?

You're not making yourself very clear here. Are you saying Humberside said there would be 50k watching Hull v Rovers today at St James Park?

Or the ground holds 50k so could be full for the derby?

Or something else?

Or non of the above?

I have to say I really don't understand the superior attitude some City fans adopt over the rugby league side of things.

I mean, you've got two professional sports teams from Hull battling it out on the TV in their league. Why be snarky about it? Boggling.

Well done Hull btw, top of the Super League :emoticon-0100-smile

I actually thought the Hull crowd from both teams where pretty good ...

I don't really get the concept of the so called magic weekend. The attendance is less than the total that the individual games would get, and then they have to pay for the stadium.

Given there doesn't seem to be more than 20,000 in the ground at any one time, surely they'd be better keeping it in house and playing at a rugby ground?

Also, how many changing rooms does St James' Park have? Do teams share?

If your going to be splitting hairs then lets get it right. I said 'chubby league' not chunky league.

Oh aye you did. Fair point. So derision?

Anyway, someone who denies making edits when their first post shows an edited time.... well there we go.

Odd that Hull are thought of as the trawlerman's team or Hessle Rd's darlings.
Hull used to get between 1 and 3 thousand for years while City got over twenty thousand regularly, even thirty or forty.
When the fishing was West Hull's biggest industry there were 40,000(?) jobs dependent on it,
They must all gave been working on weekends.

Does any of it matter? Really? Hull people taking, or attempting to, take the rise out of Hull teams doesn't make any sense at all to me, it all appears a bit small time and petty.
