Think my first visits to the Boulevard were79ish.
Was only a boy myself but vividly remember walking to a night game down Selby Street not long after the kung-fu artist had murdered the Hastie brothers.

How could we reign down bricks on top of the Rovers supporters when a) Threepenny was lower than Bunkers Hill and b) we had no bricks to throw in threepenny as they were on bunkers hill coincidentally where the rovers fans where located? Perhaps you should change your name to KeiththeThickHead?

The supporters behind us with black and white favours taken away by the police were KR supporters in disguise I suppose.

I'll have lifelong memories of The Boulevard.

Started in 1978 at the Airlie Street end, spent a few years in Threepenny and finished the last few seasons as a Gordon Street ender (alhtough switched ends at half time if ncecessary).

Don't miss the place at all though.

Later tonight, after the Euromillions draw, I'll be commissioning a new one.

Always thought the song from the threepenny stand to greet the opposition was worth a 10 point start.

Going to be ace.

A new Threepenny stand with built-in urinal channels
Guinness, real ale and Stella on draught, brought to your seat or standing place
Padded seats, with heating option for the likes of me
Starbucks concession, selling Victoria sponge and proper suet pastry meat pies
Closed corners
Easy access off M62, free parking
State of the art media screens and sound system
Heritage walkway up to the main entrance, paved with Hull FC stars of the past, like the walk of fame
Massive statue of Johnny Whiteley

What have I missed?
