That is the heaviest defeat in challenge cup final history....well, almost.

Don’t hold this against me but I purchased a copy of the 1980 final of eBay and the guy sent me a dvd for 1981, he sent me a another copy of 1980 and told me to keep the other, I tried to give the 1981 copy away but couldn’t find anyone who wanted it but it was way back in the 90’s when no one supported the Filth. It went in the bin.

It beat the previous year's record when we lost against Wigan. Was at both games.

Most memorable game for me was Hull v St Helens in 2010 as I had not been at a Hull home match since I left the UK in 1966. Went with about 20 family and friends and Hull come back from a 22-6 deficit to win 27-26 thanks to a last minute field goal from Danny Tickle.
Partied well into the night to celebrate that win.

From recent times, I loved that CC win against Cas in 2017. Scorching day and the stadium was bouncing. Did it all without Sneyd too

They definitely did as I have one somewhere. Back in the days when you had to ring up and order over the phone

Your correct, I think it was when we beat Wigan away there was a shortage of video's

Speaking of old games Cartwright said in an interview he played for Australia against Hull at the Boulevard in 1990. Nice that he has a link to our past.

Also in the Aussie team that night were Greg Alexander, Brad Fittler, Anrew Ettingshausen, Des Hasler, Allan Langer, Martin Bella and Kevin and Kerrod Walters.

A 34-4 defeat not too bad really. Nine Hull born lads in our team plus the classic Mackey/Entat combo.
