After last season I think we all qualify for that title.

The atmosphere at the KC has been brilliant for certain games, someone mentioned the Bradford grand final eliminator as the best they have experienced and other than a Final I would probably agree. However, our dire style of rugby over the last few years has led to a general boredom factor setting in which has made it hard to generate any sort of sustained noise. Away games are different because everyone stands together and the people who go to away games are the die-hards who also enjoy the trip as much as the game.

The Boulevard, like the KC, had some brilliant atmospheres but it also had its poor ones. The KC itself does not stop a good atmosphere being generated and if we start playing some attractive/exciting rugby the noise will be there.

after the initial stunned silence, shock does that to people!

Whilst we're on the subject of the Boulevard. Does anyone recall a family who used to bring a lad in bed with drips and oxygen bottles and numerous medical devices attached to the bed? I used to think it was the strangest sight I've ever seen at a sports venue!

yeh i remember him.

Used to lay at the corner of Airlie St and 3d's, i used to cringe when one of my lads kicked their ball and it hit his bed, ooops

As for this thread, how come it has turned into a which ground is best as this is not what the actual 1st post was about, and unless i've missed it the original poster hasn't commented since and is sat reading some of the comments and is laughing his cock off at some of the muppets on here and the arguements that have ensued, as this is how all of these threads end up, and generally deteriorates into who's the best fan and who's been going the longest.

My answer, I prefer the Boulevard atmos over the KC anyday!

Hmmm.... maybe you might get to experience that Boulevard atmos rlagain!!rl

I dont get the fascination with the boulevard. Ive been watching hull since 1985. The KC is the best rugby league stadium in the country. If we start playing attractive rugby (as has been stated) then the atmosphere follows. As someone has also stated, the last 4-5 years at the boulevard were dire with very little atmosphere at all. The move to the KC stadium is more than just about facilities, Its allowed the club to grasp marketing opportunities that would never have materialised if we had stayed there, and that would quickly dissapear if we moved back. Its an old delapidated stadium, which has an awful lot of history, but a move back there would be taking the club back a decade.

hulls current crowd average wouldnt even fit in the boulevarde, and what about the derby games that get 24,000 at the KC.

having been to the KC i was jealous of that ground, and so would most other fans of RL clubs in england.

you guys are so lucky the council was able to build a new ground unlike wakefield for example.

Hull FC can get their crowds up to 20,000 one day as the team improves and i imagine the atmosphere would be brilliant

I'd be interested to hear where Radders thinks the money would come from for a redevelopment of the Boulevard. Not to mention the space and planning permission to convert it into a stadium of sufficient size with decent access.

Why don't you ask him then

Those two words do not make good neighbours!!!!
