| Quote: Liam666 "20 years old, been a season ticket holder since 2004
First game in 2000, Challenge Cup QF against Wigan if i remember rightly?
thought it was different considering the only rugby i had ever watched was the 6 nations and was really into football and Hull City.
Watched FC on a number of occasions over the next 3 years including the final game at the Boulevard and a memorable game against Bradford in which we were down and beat needing 3 or 4 tries, we got them and then they scored a drop goal. that game was when i really took a liking to the game.
2004 was when i really got to understand the game more and even though i was fairly new to the sport I could tell we were a good team that year and consistent and would say is when I got 'hooked' and somewhere down the line [iconverted my dad from union to league[/i'"
Full marks for your missionary work!!

| First game was the 1980 cc final i was 10 at the time and my abiding memory was abide with me being sung cannon and ball providing entertainment and the fact that we run out of time to winicon_smile.gif. I followed Hull then up until 85 where i joined the Royal Navy and for the next 24 years it was when i was on leave i managed to get to games. I was privilidged enough to watch kemble ohara leulei and the amazing peter stirling. still go as often as i can working shifts and always keeping the faith.

| Think I was 7 and it was a 7s/9s tournament at boulevard in 85, we lost to Fev I believe in the semi and they won it. Started going after that on scoreboard end (waiting in Griffin car park whilst my dad had a couple cos kids weren't allowed in! But only really got hooked two seasons later when I moved from the hill to threepenny.

| My dad used to take me a lot when I was a kid but the game I remember the most and when I was truly hooked to FC was the 14-4 win at the Boulevard in the challenge cup against Wigan in 2000. Was more or less dragged into rugby from birth but from that game I couldn't get enough. Even the next round defeat at McAlpine against Leeds didn't put me off when we got beat and then invaded the pitch!!

| Living in Grimsby at the time I only followed football. A bloke where I worked had moved over from Hull.He was an F.C. supporter,said I should follow a mans game!
My day of dawning came on 6th December 1981,the Boulevard,Great Britain v France.I went to the game,not knowing half the rules, thought ,mmmm not too bad.Went with him to next Hull game,got hooked from there.Will hold my hand up and say I dropped off during the Sharks era.Met my future mrs, a Hull supporter in 1999 started going regular again. Season ticket holder until last year.One thought makes me shudder,he could have been a Rovers supporter,how bad would that have been?
Trevor Skerret and Knocker were playing for G.B. that day.

| About 1969 and I'm 54 now, when I was at Villa Place and we got Mr Cameron as the PE teacher.
He was rugby league mad and introduce cheap tickests to the Boulevard. I mainly played about rolling down the grass at the back of score bourd end. I must admit, I went off a bit to watch City in the early 70's but was soon back during the Boxhall, Davidson era. Mr Cameron sits in front of me in the South Stand and we shake hands evert game.
Thanks for all the 'up's n 'downs' Mr

And anyone remember this?
The 82 kangaroos V Fc was one of the greatest matches i ever saw, sure thats on Tubie thing too somewhere, Paul rose and mick crane punched everything in green and gold that night and Keith bridges showed over and over how to stop a man dead in his tracks, what a cracking memory..... possibly one of FCs all time greatest games.
Started watching in 1975, and got really hooked during the unbeaten season which i think was year later... cost me hundreds ever since ha ha, had people sending me VHS tapes of matches all over the planet to where ever i was

| Im 18 and have been going since I was 4 or 5.
The only reason I started going was because my dad told me about the knight (Boris). As I grew up I became more and more interested in rugby, and started playing Rugby for Cott Tigers when I was 6. I played at the Boulevard, Caravan Park and we where the first team to win at the KC as we played at half time at the opener. My best memory is obviously the 2005 CC Final and watching my 72 year old Grandad getting drunk and serenading the Hull fans with Old Faithful out of an Italian restaurant window in the Cardiff centre!

Mate, that's the very side I remember when I first went! Howard Firth's flowing golden locks and all that. Keegan was a monster at full back and so were the pack you mentioned. Brings a tear to me eye!

| 47. My first game was in 1978 against the touring Australian side. Bobby Fulton was playing for them & they won 34 -4 I think it was. We had a welsh trialist full back playing, "supertaff" Paul Prendiville, who, if memory serves me correctly, kicked our two penalties. Happy days .
