There's some splendid little pubs down round Whitefriar Gate (sic?). I've always heard people say there's bother for away fans in Hull, but apart from one trip to the Boulevard where a minority of idiots were giving it the verbals I've always got on fine round there, had some good banter with the home fans in the pubs round the ground.

I am now married into the Hull fraternity and have since reached the conclusion that I like Hull, it's just badly marketed. Some cracking museums there as well, for those of a more cultural leaning, it's just that the council don't seem to want to tell the rest of the world they're there.

As someone with friends who were either born in or still live in the city, I like it a lot. It has retained some of its old character while upgrading where needed.

The way some people go on you would think it was like a cross between Beirut and Fallujah for visiting fans (don't get those whose coach was bricked on what I think was the first visit to the KC get started), but having both stood in the Threepenny and sat in the East(?) Stand at the KC wearing a Leeds shirt with no bother whatsoever that's not how I find it.

Good to see some positive threads about Hull and our fans, hope you enjoy your visit.

Should also be a nice journey home after a comfy win.

Do you think with Webb out there is any chance of seeing Broughton line up agaisnt Hull on Sat?

Just seen your sqaud and he isnt in, doesnt look like he has much of a future at Leeds, I would hope that we sign him as a backup for next season.

He hasn't played a super league game for leeds before (?) so it is unlikely they would put him in the squad only 6 days after playing for another club and having only a small amount of training with leeds recently.

You could put Zig and Zag in your squad and still beat Hull on Saturday.

Also he is in the Hull sqaud to play Leeds, Kath must have done something really nice to Gary to allow he to play agisnt his own club

Step away from the thought process. You will not be warned again.

It'd be well sweaty in this weather too.
