| Quote Kosh="Kosh"That's partly to do with the differences in the designs of the stadia and the relative fullness of the grounds though. When you had proportionately the same crowd (same number of people per seat of capacity) there was very little difference in atmosphere.
In other words, a small stadium near capacity is always going to have a better atmosphere than a large stadium with the same number of fans in it.'"
How? Caravan Park is always full but their atmos is rubbish. Having said that it's still probably better than KC. |

| Quote Mild mannered Janitor="Mild mannered Janitor"The Boulevard was intimidating for the opposition because it was an extremely unpleasant place to visit. It looked like it was going to fall down, the visitors changing rooms looked like it had never been repaired after the blitz and the visiting team had to run a gauntlet of hate when they came through the tunnel.
In the last 5 years of the Boulevard (1997-2002) the only games where the atmosphere was anything like what it had been before the old 3d was demolished were
1997 rovers in the league - first derby for 3 years, big away following
1998 Leeds and Bradford in the league - good away following, closely fought games
1999 NONE
2000 Wigan, cup game
2001 St Helens play offs
2002 NONE
5 games over 6 years. Is that what so many lament back t
The Boulevards atmosphere was as flat as a pancake for the vast majority of games unless you were actually within the 3d standing, which the majority in the ground were not.
This myth needs to be put to bed once and for all.'" Pap.

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. |

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. |
