WELL DONE THE CITY OF HULL

Brilliant for the City and absolutely wonderful news for everyone in the region and great to see Adam buying into it and celebrating it immediately www.hullfc.com/article/31643/hul ... lture-2017 I await Mr Allams response!

This is great news for everyone who lives or works in the city. After years of being sh@t on at last we've got some recognition and 12 months in the spotlight.

I'm not naive enough to believe it will transform life in Hull overnight, but I really can't see a downside to it so let's embrace it and enjoy it and stop running the place down for a change.

rumours citculating of it being renamed Tiger of culture 2017

too true, well said.

Great news. And it seems the toys are out of the pram in Swansea too.

Billy Batten - your view took a hell of a beating!

The Rovers fans will soon be singing "we all hate Hull"

as always Karl I stand corrected great man it must be hard doing so much for somewhere he can't mention

Many congrats, Hull really is an underestimated and much (unjustly) derided city. I look forward to coming back 'home' even though it might only be a few weeks apart.
I've lived in the South now 24 years, 5 longer than I did in my city of birth but I'll always be a Hull lad and Black & white to the core.
Yes I really like where I live now as it is soooo quiet, low crime, no noise (relatively speaking) great schools (76% 5 A-Cs at my sons old comprehensive school) but there is bugger all here tbh.
Yes there are always elements we'd rather see eliminated in Hull but that is prevalent far more in other cities of the same size, there are a lot tier places to live in the UK, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and that god forsaken ehole that is London..
C'mon U Ullllllaaaahhhhhhh

I'm unbelievably proud at the minute.
Anyone who has visited Hull knows that it has plenty to do if you bother to look. You can easily lose a day or 2 in our museum quarter, The deep, Ferens etc.

I do sometimes wonder if the reason we always seem to do so badly is because of the city boundry being so small. I could be wrong but using Leeds as an example their more effluent areas are inside their boundry ours are not (Beverly, Cottingham, Anlaby, Hessle etc).
As an example Beverly won an award recently but how many not from this area would have made the connection to Hull? Not many I would imagine.

I will say one thing though, I can't see it going to our heads as folks in Hull don't act like that because as a general rule we are a pessimistic lot.

Only you could turn a thread like this into a Rovers/Hull thing. Well done on reaffirming what everyone thinks about you.

This should complete the re-generation work around Humber Street & Marina. I'm excited already.
