Hull and Rovers have definitely played against each other on Christmas Day.

Artie Beetson broke his leg playing for Rovers against Hull in '68

Just had a quick look in Hull: A Divided City and 1968 was the last Christmas Day derby. Upto then it had been a traditional date for the game.

No, I dont, I go to as many games as I can.

But crack on, you keep the stereotype of FC fans alive and well.

Stereotypically being a Hull fan in and from the Forest of Dean?

this sums up the present issues with the club as it stands.
Singing cheers and lifts the players. Your silent moronicity is damaging to the club
And I don't care if that word is made up!

Really?

I'd say we had larger and more pressing issues than whether or not some supporters prefer to shout rather than sing TBH.

I'm guessing but I think he means there is a lot of supporters who prefer to moan about any and everything,see conspiracies every where and who sit in the stands and moan throughout the full game rather than others .who seem to go to most away games who like a good sing as well!

Spot on, but I get what Kosh is saying. However, if you stand by the fact that supporters are the club, then the OP to this thread has a very valid point. There can be no doubt that the boulevard was more intimidating and a better atmos than the KC, on a more frequent basis. I think the OP was advocating more partisan chanting to spur the team on and I for one agree

I think sterile, characterless people will tend to prefer sterile, characterless grounds. It's like the passionate, partisan fan are being phased out by Super League along with the heartland clubs. We're dinosaurs mate! It's amazing how standing up together at away games can bring it all back though! How many can we stand at now though?

Ha, you can actually correlate super league success with standing! Saints, Leeds and Bradford eh!
Maybe we need to rip a few amber seats out of the KC
