I obviously would love it if we could go back to the Boulevard, redeveloped and with reserved terracing but I like everyone else think this is unrealistic.

I agree entirely with your points regarding Hamburg and have stated in a previous post that I would be happy if I had the option to stand at the K.C.

But thats the entire point of what is now a pointless thread.

The atmosphere was virtually none existant, except for the odd one off big game in the final 10 years of the Boulevard.

The only ones more interested in the surroundings are those so desparate to get back to the Boulevard, but I guess your blinkers don't allow you to see that

If you have gone up the housing ladder to get to a 5 bed detached, why would you choose to live in a two up two down bombsite?

I am gald you took the bait of Headingley. It was affected for ONE game last season. The Boulevard (or more accurately the old 3d) was affected for 6 SEASONS before it was rebuilt. This was at a time when the board consisted of what some beleive to be "proper fans". You know, the ones we get told would be turning in their graves at the antics of the current board. The fact that the most popular part of the Boulevard was left to waste away and the club was allowed to decent into what turned out to be near terminal debt by these people is forgotton because they were apparently "Hull fans through and through".

Bait? Headinglys capacity has been reduced for the next two years!

Again, myself and many other posters think this to be untrue.
