I am not sure about the history of this but didn't both K.R. and Hull City have the Boulevard as their home ground in the past? It makes it even more important historically if this is so. Gutted really about this.

Hopefully the voters in Hull will remember the actions of the Lib Dems at the next council elections.

At the very least fans should be able to get a piece of history from The Boulevard but the way things have turned out leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

I remember the portakabin shop on the corner of the best stand staffed by 3 old dears - you could barely get in it on matchday. Changing ends at halftime. And the announcer was quality when the tannoy was working - Arthur I think? Best memories for me were the Gary Nolan salmon-leap vs Leeds, worst the 1 point defeat to Wigan in the cup when we were miles ahead at one point. My mum used to take a flask of coffee that was mainly Tia Maria. Something magical about the winter floodlight games, freezing your @rse off watching the dimly lit packs set for a scrum and seeing the steam rise. Good times.

Rovers played there before we did they moved from playing across the road from Raynors to the Boulevard and then we gazzumped them by offering a lot more rent and we took over. Many Rover/Hull Combined teams also played there against touring Australian and New Zealand teams too.

I would love a couple of seats, if they wont let us in ther for h&s reasons to take some why carnt they just pile the seats up outside and let people take them but knowing the tight council theyd rather have the scrap money for them.

Or does anyone know what type of security they have on a night time if any

Might have to get me balaclava on then and go for a midnight stroll

A sad day, but amusing as I was listening today how the council had done us a favour and were giving the boulevard back to us for a pittance after buying it for 750k. These Rovers fans should just stick to licking windows and signing petitions.

I don't want a seat personally as I don't believe I ever sat in one. Would like a slab of concrete!

OLD FAITHFUL

THE BOULEVARD

Might not mean alot to you oldies who remember the old threepenny stand but its the only threepenny stand i knew and ive got alot of good and funny memories of that stand, and the first time i ever got a fc season pass was for the seating area.

Progress was represented by Hull F.C's move to the KC Stadium. For me it came at the right time for Hull and the new era of Super League, but the Boulevard will for me always be Hull's spiritual home and the place where I first developed my love for Hull F.C and rugby league. Happy memories....here's to the future! F.C & Proud.

My son is up from Sussex and despite everything that he feels about the club at this moment in time (he has yet to attend a home game since the derby debacle) he felt moved to attend the Boulevard this afternoon with his two young sons in tow ( 4 years and 18 months). They did not appreciate what he was telling them. It was where he watched Hull FC, it was also where he wore the black and white for the colts and he in his words grew up there. His most vivid memories from his childhood are mainly at the Boulevard. From Hancock through to Horne he attended the Boulevard. I am not sure we will get the same emotional attachment to the KC but possibly futrure generations will.
He took some photos but I am not sure how they can be attached on to here.
Sad day but as Wilf says its time to move on. Providing we get the memorial and a small area for reflection for us to recall our memories and also those who's ashes are scattered there I am sure the Boulevard will never be forgotten.
As Expro says Wilf has been a great ambassador for us fans and is certainly deserving of the fan of the year award for his tireless work on our behalf.
