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.

Its the solvant abuse of those who seem to remember the boulevard for something it wasn't who need to be looked after

No, but you clearly were.

NZ game - party, friendly, nothing game in reality.

Chico went 90 yards against Whitehaven who brought about 6 fans, no real noise made through out the game.

Hudds game - we had a great performance against our nearest rivals. basically you are saying it took the players on the field to get the fans going.

Sheffield game - granted, the fans were up for that one.

Ultimately its the fanes the generate the noise, not the ground

Nail, Hammer, Thwack!

There is another,

nail, hammer, Thwack!

Have you ever heard any player of any team slate the fans of a club they have just left (Paul Cooke excluded).

The manificent fans thing is based in the numbers that travelled and vocally supported the team on their travels.

Having spoken to several players from years gone by, the ones who played in period 1993-1996 would have a very different opinion.

I am not referring to former FC players. Use Shaun Edwards, joe Lydon, Johnathan Davies etc
