That was against Huyton just after we had signed Clarkey from New Hunslet and Bill Ramsey had arrived from Bradford! There was a place at the bottom of that terrace in Carrington Street behind the St Johns hut with the wheels on it, where you could actually get in over the barbed wire!! By heck they were tough timesthough !!


983 there and so was I. The previous all time low was 1,243 against Dewsbury in 1971 which I missed because I had Mumps! So the game you mention certainly was a low point! The introduction of speedway in 1972 probably saved us from going out of existance back then, the Vikings could get gates of 4-5 thousand people in and they paid us around £4,000 a year!

Ban em from the bus Tony!

Thanks for the giving the game away Wilf.This post will now probably eclipse R****s away support

Sorry

I was there, from the very early 70's never missed a home game. Used to go to most away games too in those days. since i can remember only ever missed 2 home games......quarter final of john player against saints in 75/76 season and last home game i missed was against .....GATESHEAD cos i was on shifts and the red and white gonad sack who was on morning shift would not swap shifts. Worth missing the game when we merged with them to stay in Super League HAHAHAHAHAHA he had a face like a bag of smashed crabs when we survived HAHAHAHAHA sorry for laughing WE GOT STANLEY GENE FOR FREE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA unlimited aussies and world class coach in mcRea HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ill have been at craven park with my uncle who used to take me to rovers to try an convert me to the ways of the damned. Luckily i followed the path of the righteous down to the boulevard.

I worked with a guy who was a Hull FC fan and Iasked him if he was at this infamous match, he replied 'no, but I know 10,000 who were'



Still the same Eric

You could have a thread like this on your board for nearly every game from 1994ish to 2007

Donny at home in the Summer or `79 was my first game! Addicted ever since !

If you reckon you're less than 35 years old, you must've had the longest paper round in Hull's hitory

Was your uncle Alf Macklin
