Damn right it has. It seems people are more interested in the surroundings then the game nowadays. People used to support a club because they liked the sport and the team represented where they was from.

And I think you'll find that Leeds had to restrict access because Headingly WAS a health hazard.

Anyone else hear the music from the Hovis adverts when reading certain posts on this thread?

I think we should round up the 34 or so life time members, see what their opinion is

And its sure as hell is costing them just short term measures have already had to be put in place at the cost of £250k they have had to also cut the south stands capacity by 2,000 yet your suggesting us go back to those same type of facilities

Anyway any major development on the boulevard site would never ever get planning permission these days so it would be a waste of time and effort and money even looking into it. What the Premier League need to do is allow stadia with the new technologies like in Hamburg's stadium where seated areas and switch within 3 hours to safe standing areas (but obviously that is a massively emotive subject with what has happend in football in the past) [urlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/913449.stm[/url

I've not suggested going back to those facilities. Currently the Boulevard is not a viable option. I've just pointed out that it had a much better atmosphere and wasn't the slum some posters would like to label it. It is also Hull FC's home, where ALL of our best players played. I obviously would love it if we could go back to the Boulevard, redeveloped and with reserved terracing but I like everyone else think this is unrealistic.

I agree entirely with your points regarding Hamburg and have stated in a previous post that I would be happy if I had the option to stand at the K.C.

The only ones more interested in the surroundings are those so desparate to get back to the Boulevard, but I guess your blinkers don't allow you to see that



If you have gone up the housing ladder to get to a 5 bed detached, why would you choose to live in a two up two down bombsite?

I am gald you took the bait of Headingley. It was affected for ONE game last season. The Boulevard (or more accurately the old 3d) was affected for 6 SEASONS before it was rebuilt. This was at a time when the board consisted of what some beleive to be "proper fans". You know, the ones we get told would be turning in their graves at the antics of the current board. The fact that the most popular part of the Boulevard was left to waste away and the club was allowed to decent into what turned out to be near terminal debt by these people is forgotton because they were apparently "Hull fans through and through".

No, I can't hear the tune because of all the air horns, bang sticks and drums. But of course, these are what stands for atmosphere nowadays!

The work of the Devil IMO.


Not everywhere.

Yet.

Thank fook.

But thats the entire point of what is now a pointless thread.

The atmosphere was virtually none existant, except for the odd one off big game in the final 10 years of the Boulevard.

Bait? Headinglys capacity has been reduced for the next two years!

Jesus Christ! Are we agreeing on something?

Again, myself and many other posters think this to be untrue.
