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

It's owned by the Council, the fixtures and fittings belong to the Council, why would/should they give anything away?

As much as people want mementoes, believe me, HCC (and other Council's in the country) have much bigger issues to address (as unpalletable as it may sound).

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

if a couple of plastic seats with less than 10 years meaningful history is what you're after, crack on.

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!
