Hmmm.... maybe you might get to experience that Boulevard atmos [url=http://www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league/hull_fc/news/displayarticle.php?ID=10005again!![/url

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

If I thought he had a clue I might.

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

the booooooolevard would need massive redevelopment and as said above where would that come from??I do think though,if you did return to it, it would help you rediscover your identity as an rl club. cant see it though.

I wasn't aware we lost our identity.

As much as I would love to see Hull FC play at the Boulevard just that one last time, it would need serious re-development even to meet Craven Park's standards...which is saying something!

I dont see the problem with a 25 or a 35,000 stadium. Yeah the atmopshere will be drained some what but there's nothing worse then standing in the pouring rain.

The only major issue I have with the KC at the moment is the fact you cannot drink your beer on the terraces! You wait 10 mins at half time in the queue and then have to drink it within a couple of seconds, otherwise you miss the second half. I cant think of any other ground which has this same ban, its ridiculous!

The beer issue is true. The ban is ridiculous and must lose the SMC loads. They also employ half witted bar staff that take eons to perform the most simple tasks. When you eventually get your pint, it tastes like washing up liquid.

I would be quite happy with KC if the ban was removed and a section of the ground was reserved for standing. I will prefer Boulevard until we can fill the KC and hear a unified 'Old Faithful' drown out the noise of the KR mob.

I smell a petition coming on!



We need to get rid of the ban...even more so now that home games are played on a friday evenings at 8:00pm, the ideal time to have a pint.

That is one ban that needs to be lifted asap! And as you mentioned about the half-witted staff, jesus they're all imported by Zimbabwe or something....they dont have a fecking clue!
