Hull is a river but that still makes you right.

The name of your city is Kingston upon Hull.

How/why did it get shortened to Hull? That's like calling Newcastle Tyne or Henley Thames.

Sadly, can't make the game this Friday.

Always makes me laugh when I see comments like these. My job takes me all over the north of England, mainly to deprived areas of towns and cities and over the last year I have covered most RL playing areas, in fact when I switch this off i am going to Cas and Wakey, with Leeds on Wednesday. Last week I was in St Hellens, Runcorn and the Wigan area.

I have yet to see any area of Hull that can compete with these areas in the $hithole stakes.

Working in Runcorn today "I love the smell of chemicals in the morining"

I didn't read their post as a having 'a go' at Hull but nevertheless your post is spot on. The North West is riddled with rat infested places such as Orford and Dallam in Warrington, Thatto Heath in Sint Ellins, and parts of Abram.

Christ lad but if you think Abram's rat-infested you ain't seen nothing yet!

Can you post this on all the other teams Boards as they are constantly slagging it off, mostly unjustified (I really hope you were'nt being sarcarstic)

This will be a pivotal game in our season, because it will tell us a lot about our potential this year in my view.

Just one win in the last four games...and some pretty poor performances too. Even the win against Hull was scratchy.

So... will it be a good performance (back to the standard we reach at Hudds) or will we splutter again?

If its the latter we're in big trouble because 5 poor performances in a row is not a blip..it'll demonistrate there are serious problems.

If we win with a good performance..it'll tee up good friday and the opportunity to kick on to greater things.

Interesting the bookies have Wigan -8 , but then again they had us-18 last week!

Lets hope we turn the corner tonight.

It wasn't. I spent three years at Uni there (one year in Cottingham, two years just off Bev Road). I was merely stating that the local omit the 'H' from the name.

The anti-royalist sentiments of the town's inhabitants prevented the name "King's Town on Hull" from sticking.

Same here only finish at 6.30, first game missed this season, can't get time off a well known Telecommunications Company, M62 on a Friday, nightmare. but not as bad as M6 tomorrow !
We are winning !! this is more nervous than being at the game.
