Come off it.

kc is a great ground but it hasnt got the fear factor that the boulevard once had

Good.

Oh and if you mean on the rugby field, the only things the players were scared of where the facilities. The atmosphere was only scary if you were stood in the 3d stand.

It was a great ground in terms of history, it was a dump through in reality. To move with the times and get the crowds and atmospheres we have now, Hull FC had to move to a stadium like the KC.

Does anybody else think the flat atmosphere recently might have something to do with the Rugby been played?

In it's later years I agree the atmosphere was, on the whole, very poor. But during the late 70's and early 80's it was the most intimidating ground in rugby league, some of the toughest teams just turned to jelly when met by the wall of noise that was the threepenny stand. Sadly when the old stand was demolished the atmosphere that made the place so special went with it.

Totally agree.

How? Caravan Park is always full but their atmos is rubbish. Having said that it's still probably better than KC.

Pap.
As smallears says bring out Norris. And as raggy says, stay off the glue

Why? Its completely spot on. The atmosphere at Boulevard was one of the worst in the league, EXCEPT if you were in the 3d stand where it was generally very good.

Been watching Hull home and away for many years and I have to admit that the Bradford play off in 2006 is as good as anything I have experienced at any ground, Boulevard included.

Sorry but you are simply wrong.

Why is it that former players always harped on about the "magnificent" hull fans and the fact they could often be a 14th man? Cos it was a s4it atmosphere?
Just face facts that the KC, magnificent stadium as it is, is more often than not sterile

And yet the current players make the same comments regarding the fans and the atmosphere.

Agreed.

cliched media release #4?

falls right between "this is the hardest pre season ever" and "this is the club I dreamed of playing for when I was a kid and I want to win silverware here" (actuslly given Carvells recent comment that last one should be a few places higher).

Stating that the boulevard was the worst atmosphere in the league is one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever read.

Try visiting the Sin Bin.

I don't agree with that view of the atmosphere at The Boulevard personally. I also don't agree that it was always better than the atmosphere at the KC. I think that the truth, as usual, lies somewhere in between.

Atmosphere, or lack of it, can be a very individual thing. How you are feeling on the day, how the game plays out, whereabouts in the stadium you are, the type of stadium, the people nearby - these all play a factor.
