Likewise Hull Dockers. I don't see what you point is.

What I mean is, Rovers fans chant 'we all hate Hull scum', which obviously means 'we hate the scum of Hull' which relates to Hull FC.

Your obviously not going to chant 'We all hate Huddersfield/Fartown scum' to a team that's not in the same league/ or have a well known rivalry with.

Instead of 'Fartown' ad nauseum , how about an 'Arena 83' ditty.

What does "Arena '83" mean??

Does it bear any resemblence to the name of the ground changing to "ARENA 84" in 1984 before changing it back again in 1988?

Stlll what's a year to a Hull KR Supporter. They are all behind the times.

We don't chant about HTFC and they don't chant about us.

As usual the government have made a right pig's ear of things. The East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority does not include Hull (which has its own UA). However the ceremonial county of The East Riding of Yorkshire does include HUll.

I guess the road signs refer to the UA, just as we have welcome to Kirklees signs.

Whatever, they all talk funny and are probably only historically in Yorkshire because proper Yorkshire folk conquered them many years ago. When we realised our mistake we tried to get rid of them, hence the formation of Humberside. However, they liked the kudos of being associated with Yorkshire so we sold them a franchise for eleventy-hundred squillion quid.

You could be right - I think all the Rovers fans chipped in a quid each. They had a fair few million left over, so the council spent it on building the KC stadium.
