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. |

| Quote Raggytash="Raggytash"The last game against New Zealand was a flat atmosphere was it? Was you on glue? For gods sake, the game against Batley where Chico went 90 yards was a better atmosphere than most are now. The game against Huddersfield when we sang at Schofield until he was beating his fists on the floor to our rapturous applause. Was that flat? The game against Sheffield that kept us up and we all ran onto the pitch and held the players aloft. Was that boring? These games aren't myths.'"
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 |

| Quote Smiggs="Smiggs"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.'"

| Quote hull smallears="hull smallears"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'"
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 |

What? The game where he was playing on the left wing, caught an interception, went the length and then laid down for about 2 minutes? Pretty sure it was Batley! I remember it as Tomlinson throwing the intercept!
Who cares if it's the players that got us going or not? It still resulted in the ground being atmospheric?
Just watched my Hull tries video from '96 and in almost EVERY home game you can hear the fans going off! |

Because the sound was recorded from opposite the 3d, perhaps? |
