The 87-88 derby at Craven park.We'd played Halifax in the semi on the saturday and the replay on the wednesday .Nobody gave us a prayer on the Friday but we won 21-14.I think the players played for the last 20 minutes on memory.IIRC Paul Welham got a 60yd interception try that day.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.

| Quote: Erik the not red "I also have fond memories of the John Player Final, Ronnie's try making an ass of the worlds most expensive player and the chants of "Casey, Casey, where's your wife?". Certainly one of my favourites, as was Freddie giving Casey a pasting when he tried his usual trick of a cheap shot on a scrum half. That also had the added bonus of costing Casey the GB captaincy, something he didn't deserve anyway.
Another one which was good was in Brian Smith's first season (88/89) at home to them at the Boulevard. Apart from an easy win which hammered another nail into the dobbins relegation coffin, there were chants of "where's your Miller gone" as their star man had done a runner and abandoned the sinking ship.
I'm sure this last game and the act of desertion is one a certain ignorant dummy spitter who moderates on the dobbins board remembers fondly. ![]()
Remember one at the boulevard where Rob Wilson nearly snapped a rovers player in half...Glancey i think....Best one was the 84 one at old craven park where fred totally owned Casey and we ted them big style

You beat me too it. A classic for form book going out of the window.
April 1983 and our 21-3 good Friday win, effective title decider.
1997 32-25 at their excuse of a ground. |

I've been going to FC games since I was 14 (and this is when I really started to get into the sport, having been predominantly football/cricket before) but as I'm 19 now I have a much smaller range of games to choose from.
Gotta say that it's probably the match a couple of years ago with Briscoe's tackle on Fox in the corner, not just because of that tackle but because it was a close match, brilliant atmosphere, and great ending.

Toppo tore them to bits down the middle !!!'" If its the '84 Good Friday game you are talking about then Rovers had won The Championship the previous Sunday so I think we had a right to shout how good we were, and we proved it again the next season when the championship was retained, admitily on that day you ripped us to shreads, but were were 'resting' for our successful assult on the Premiership  . |

The Casey-Ah Koi game was a classic and if anyone hasn't seen it there are highlights on THAT video sharing site. Search Ah koi Hull FC. Casey pushing the touch judge is funny as hell. Check out the pass from Knocker to Divorty for Leuluais try, absolute class!

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

The 84 Good Friday and Yorkshire Cup final stand out for me. Stood in the South Stand behind the posts at Boothferry Park and watching a second half master class from Hull was the pinnacle as that day both sides were filled with International class players from all corners of the globe.

Missed that one. My Sister got married that day. Not a problem until the Derby got called off due to our CC Semi Final v Cas. The game got re-arranged for her Wedding Day. 20,000+ packed into the Boulevard to, winner took the title, in the dyas when Hull & Rovers were the best two clubs around! 
1997 was also a great game at NCP. Remember TV going the full full length celebrating from the half way line onwards with his arm up!! 
Another good memory is the 1979 Derby match at the Boulevard. Rovers were leading 20-15 with five minutes left. Graham Walters scored in the corner in front of the 3d Stand. Step forward Charlie Birdsall to toe poke the conversation over from the touchline for a 20-20 draw. |

Was that the same draw in which Clive Pickerill managed to touch a drop goal attempt that went over? In the days when a touch cancelled out a drop. Good rule should bring it back.
I love the 20,000+ crowds. If memory serves our capacity was 18500 at the time.

That game in '83 was just amazing. All three of our kiwi's scored, the gentleman that is Gary Kemble got sent off for fighting, the ironic cheer that greeting David Halls consolation try, it being so packed it too an age just to get out of the ground.
Although not a favourite match, the good Friday game of 1981 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons due to the crowd disturbance. But an abiding memory of the game was the last minute penalty which Paul Woods took which would have won it for us. Woods' knees were wobbling visibly with what was the kick which would have decided that game. Sadly his attempt just fell short.

Crowd was 20,569 that night. 
Our capacity had previously been 18,500, however the extra work extending the Gordon Street terrace (the very same that had contributed to the 1981 Boulevard riot) had extended the capacity to above 20,000.
Think that was the only time we went over the 20,000 mark at the Boulevard in the 80's era, but sold out with the 18,500 capacity on a few occasions. |

When thinking about derbies especially Good Friday games, the '81 game always comes to mind, dark day  |

Very dark day. Think about 40+ people were taken to hospital. It made the Six O'Clock news on the BBC. I can still recall Hull & Rovers fans being led around the speedway track with blood pouring from their heads.
Remember that Hull were winning when it all kicked off. The referee took the teams off for 20 minutes. When the game resumed it was a different game and Rovers won out winners. I think late on, Tony Dean had a perfectly good try under the sticks disallowed from a quick tap penalty. Nowadays with that incident the game, would have been abandoned. Hoepfully, we'll never see a repeat.
