I've said before I find it hard to want Hull teams to lose, but I can understand why City fans want Hull to lose.

I had stick in the 90's and early 00's from kids at school who supported Liverpool, Man Utd and Leeds, but supported FC.

I've been to both Hull and Rovers games and enjoyed it.

Generally I've always found Rovers fans more positive towards City

I find lame comparing football to rugby. In football they're are over 100 pro clubs and in RL about 15. It's obvious it's going harder to be successful. But as big as some Hull fans think they are they've won less then a lot of smaller cubs like Huddersfield, Swinton, Widnes and Halifax. But City haven't done much upon till the last 10 years.

You see, theres a decent reply. He may not hate Dull Fc himself but he understands why a lot of us do. None of this, 'I cant understand the hatred of Hull FC by some on here....' etc. Those type of replies just prove the stupidity of some posters.

I have always wondered why the problems always seem to be more along the lines of a City V FC from both sides with Rovers seemily not dragged into it?

Rovers fans just tend to concentrate on their team, they never used to ridicule us, or turn up at Boothferry to support the oppo, or claim we'd stolen their shirts, gone to one of their games and caused a fight etc.

Maybe because they're both West Hull Clubs and sharing the stadium?

I'm sure Rovers where just as much trying to nick City sponsors/fans etc as FC where.

True it maybe down to geography. Actually now I come to think about it isn't there some historic connection between City and Rovers? Maybe that's also a reason.

Well there is that but I wonder if it stems all the way back to the amalgamation with Albany Soccer Club/Rovers (No direct connection but pretty damn close).
Sometimes when there is a distant connection the lack of ill or feeling of a connection sticks around through the years.

Every **** in my school and then continuing into my first jobs supported FC or Rervers and took the piss out of me for supporting bottom division City while they all without exception also supported some glorious top flight football team hundreds of miles from home despite continually referring to 'kiss' or 'nancy' ball. They took delight every Monday when we'd been stuffed by Torquay or some other nondescript football outpost - literally laughing in my face and cheering when they'd seen we'd lost - and they'd defeated the might of Batley, Featherstone or whatever 3 man ****ing town they played that week.

I hope this clears things up for you.

It was the exact same at my school, and this was when City were in the Championship. The rugby supporters referred to City as '****ty City', and despite calling football a '***got's game', they all 'supported' Liverpool and Man Utd.

Utter ****s.

Like many on here I too got stick for supporting "Hull ****ty" from Leeds and Liverpool shirted FC fans at school. Gateshull Thundersharks can disappear into oblivion for all I care.
On a side note, I did see a "massive!" Leeds fan I went to school with wearing a city top at a game last season.
