It's a shame hull did'nt get the votes for the host city's i used to live there and still like to visit there nothing wrong with the place obvioulsy the criteria was'nt up to scratch which is a shame but i stand by a comment i made on the thread about the kc at the weekend and hull. I belive that the infurstructure just is'nt in place and wont be available on time, if in fact we get the world cup. So when a certain member who has friend's at fifa and the fa who got the anouncement day wrong along with the actuall facts, turn's up the mush between my ears isnt quite as full of crap as your's !!!! Think before you slate someone with an opinion
25852_1297892995.jpgYou've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg

It was an accident then? I thought loads of people had gone mad!
To be honest, the road layout in Hull is utterly abysmal.

Hardly fair comment as it is the same in all the big cities in the UK, try getting around the North Circular in London during ANY time of day after an accident and Hull traffic is a picnic! Even going through small towns(such as mine) to Motorway junctions is crazy even without accidents. The sad fact is the road network is pants everywhere due to lack of forethought & spending.
I think the Hull bus network is far superior compared to places like Milton Keynes & though their road network design is about as good as it gets it is not that great.

You beat me to it . I spend more time in other cities than I do in Hull nowadays but I'm always glad to come back at the weekend. I'm proud to be from Hull and always tell people that they should come and visit before passing comment - our city compares pretty well to others, as do the locals, and I really think the powers that be are doing a fine job in raising Hull's profile and trying to attract investment. I'm sure that, like many "boards of directors" they don't get everything right and have a swamp of beaurocracy to wade through but I think the past few years have seen a real change in direction for the old place.
It's a shame we couldn't have been chosen as part of the World Cup bid because it would have done wonders for us imo.

[size=85:2i96kzio]We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.[/size:2i96kzio]:14109.jpg
