Great memories thanks for that what a game that was and I can still see Kemble's try to this day what a run he made. A bit of incidental stuff and local colour went on before hand too.

.....Although the game was not initially ‘all ticket’, they still sold quickly because the fans were worried they might not get in and caught up in this ‘panic’ I queued for about 2 hours for mine. In the end over 25,000 were in attendance for what was to be a truly extraordinary game.
There was certainly no end to the inventiveness and humour of the fans back in 1984 and both sets of supporters would constantly exchange insults and jibes whenever they were in each other’s company. On the morning of the Final the Boothferry Park ground staff arriving to prepare for the game certainly got a surprise from a stunt that actually made the national newspapers. Overnight someone had climbed into Boothferry Park and left 13 perfectly painted garden gnomes resplendent in their Hull FC kits and pointed irregular hooped hats on the centre spot. These had been perfectly arranged in a circle around one Hull KR gnome, who was broken in half. ...

Great times eh??

Quote: Rugby Raider "Not sure if any one else enjoys 40th Anniversary’s?


The teams returned in January to contest the John Player Final, which Rovers won 12-0. They then went on to win the league and haven’t been heard of since.'"

If memory serves me right, there was a very heavy frost that day and one half of the pitch was still frozen, the game should have been abandoned but tv schedule made the game go ahead and Dobbins adjusted better to the conditions 12-0 to them I think.

I remember it well. Kemble try was like so many he seemed to score. Sterling got the plaudits but I seem to think knocker was brilliant on the day.

One of my all time favourite games was the one where we beat rovers in what was effectively a play off for league winners in 83. The boulevard was rocking that night. I can't remember the score but we won at a canter. Threepenny's was fun that night. I was still at school, will have only been 14. 2 buses each way with my mates to get there. Great times

To think we once had Kemble, Sterling and Knocker at 1,7 and 13, compared with all the various combinations we had in those positions last season.

That title decider was on 8th April 1983. I remember it well. My sister got married that day. The game should have been played on Good Friday, but Hull played Cas in a CC SF on the previous Easter Saturday, so the game got re-scheduled for the following Friday. Me and my Dad had to give our tickets away. Over 20,000 at The Boulevard that night for what was the Title decider. Think Hull won 20-3 (?). I had to make do with listening to the game on a car radio outside the Evening Reception.

We clinched the title a couple of weeks later v Barrow (followed by our Kiwis leading the team to the Haka in front of the Threepenny Stand.

I think there may have been a heavy frost before the JPT Final.

That season was great, with Hull and Rovers dominating the league and cups. The RFL finally relented and started playing our Final at City, rather than make 25,000 fans drive to Leeds.

I know there was snow on the Boothferry Park pitch when we beat Leeds in the JPT semi final. Think you can still get the footage on line. Leuluai got a good try from another piece of Sterling magic.
