The most ridiculous thread I've read on here for a loooong time. Zoddy and Easty 'contributing' in agreement with the OP confirms the moronicity upon which this thread was started.

"We have a more recognisable name than Hull FC. Yippeee".

The fact that we have a thread on this with so many fans in agreement, shows how small time the mentality of our fans is. Any tiny victory and we as a group latch on to it as if it actually means anything.

"A person on Eggheads didn't know who Hull FC were". Jesus Christ, do you guys actually see what you're writing? It's pathetic.

And my solitary comment on the matter was

I've never been so pleased to see anyone. Welcome back, you curmudgeonly ursa major.

Quite agree. Comments like this



are just ridiculous.

There are people in Hull who are not quite sure of the difference between Hull FC and Hull KR, as remarkable as that seems.

This topic may have drifted a bit but just wanted to share an experience in 2001 whilst my partner and I were living in Grenada, West Indies. Quietly having a sunset drink in the yacht club - a beautiful yacht sailed into the harbour ..... and yes - its name was Hull Kingston Rover - its owner had bought it from a guy from Hull living in Australia and had sailed it from there to the West Indies ... complete with HKR plaque mounted proudly on the bulkhead in the galley .... even my partner, an F C fan .. was well impressed. Sadly our photographs of the yacht and its owners were lost when we lost our own boat in 2004 in Hurricane Ivan but I can still that yacht saiing into harbour under full sail ... a happy memory ... now you can all go back to arguing .....

You're name is definitely memorable. Sounds like you are a bunch of s. Amazing how such an iconic brand manages to lose £1/2m a year and has only 6000 or so paying customers

The game of rugby league certainly does travel well .... whilst still in Grenada and running a bar for a couple of years we had the pleasure of the Kiwi cricket team and their fans until the very early hours of one morning .... and what was the main topic ... not cricket .. but rugby league!!!!!

You don't really believe this do you?

Bob is obsessed with hull, he can rarely post without mentioning us, this was started to have a dig at us and then there is 6 others posts from rovers fans, talking about Rovers being a bigger name than Hull.

Your pain's are all too apparent.

It's not massive though is it? What actual worth is it? Will more people attend your next home game as a result? You have an unusual name which is why people remember it.

Ouch less of the skitty remarks jake otherwise I will have to launch into one of my attacks

only kidding

I once went Skegness and got talking to a lovely old woman on the beach walking her dog, she was from Ipswich on holiday.

I asked her if she had heard of Hull KR she said "no, but I have heard of Hull FC"

It was wonderful confirmation of what I'd always known that Hull FC were a far bigger brand and club than Hull KR.........................
