Just a thread to give everyone the opportunity to pass on all the best to the rest of this great community.

I personally wanted to say Happy Christmas and thanks everyone for making me so welcome on here and for putting up with my endless diatribes and hand wringing during what has been one of the worst seasons I have experienced in the 65 years I have been attending the FC games.

I know I go on, and in fact did consider condensing the coverage of the birth of Christ as its depicted by all four synoptic Gospels and its relevance to the life and times of Bing Crosby and Noddy Holder but perhaps that would be a place that is more off topic than even I usually wander to!!

Christmas is a time for reflection (although for some of us it’s a case of bloody hell I’ve managed to survive to another one!) but those of you who have stuck with the FC this year are the true supporters and what a great community this is on here.

Man, there are some great people on here. Some have been friends for years others who I have never even met have become great friends too. But we all care and we all love the club; well almost all!

As for the wise men from the east who frequent this forum from time to time, some are OK but many bear similarities to those original three wise men in that they get to the point way after everyone else has moved on and having lost all sense of direction themselves following something that they never actually reach, they bear contributions that no one can understand what the hell they are!!

Have a great and peaceful Christmas everyone and here’s to a successful 2025!!!


P.S. If you get a bit bored over the festivity’s I have included under the memorable games thread an example of Christmas at the Boulevard in the mid 60’s, and man that was differen

Happy Xmas Wilf.

Happy Christmas, shame there is no rugby!

Merry Christmas to black and white fans everywhere!

Have a good one.

A very merry Christmas to all, friends and foes alike in the spirit of the season.

Don't know about the three wise men, but I'm definitely a Wilf-disciple, as my posts increasingly started to match his in length, tone and despair at what happened as 2024 slowly unfolded. Here's hoping to a joyous 2025 for all black & white wanderers wherever they may be



PS Brilliant post Wilf, about Christmas '67, talk about another world, impossible to imagine 3 games in 4 days now, let alone at Christmas!
Reckon I would have been more concerned as to where my 'action man' was rather than Fc's travails at that point. The joy and hurt was still to come for me in that regard.

See you all in '25

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all Hull FC supporters.

Lets hope for some better times in 2025.

Merry Christmas all...the only time I'll tolerate red and white together lol

Merry Christmas to all the black n whites out there..hopefully a decent 2025 for us

Happy Christmas to all FC and Rugby League fans everywhere.

Thanks DW for your insight into Christmas’s past. I know my Dad always mentioned about going to watch the Hull v Rovers on Christmas Day lunchtime. Hard to imagine that these days.

The only time it is welcome in our house.

Happy Christmas to all from an ex happy clapper

Good post as always Pete.

Merry Christmas and best wishes to all for 2025.
