Your right,the one near west dock av claimed to have hydes pies recipe,but tasted nothing like,one visit was enough.The original near wellstead st closed when laurie was ill and never opened again.

Laurie also opened early on the Friday before a Wembley final, so we could get a tray of fresh pies to take on the train. Then we'd go to the Chicken Shop in South Street and get a tray of barbecue chickens and ham shanks. We usually needed a couple of BR sack barrows to ferry all the ale down the platform to the train. I loved the look on the faces of all the businessmen as we climbed aboard the Pullman.

We always took bin liners with us though and bagged up all the garbage before we left

Any pie is in a different class to one that contains an organ previously used by a pig to strain piss (I don't do offal)

Use to regularly leave the ar5e area of my jeans flapping in the breeze on the barbed wire trying to climb over Best stand toilets behind were i use to live . Enough was enough when I was made to go to school in a pair of check flairs on the Monday . I died that day ...so many times !!
When ever we did get in though , It was a great game of chase with the groundsmen we called Pegleg & Blackbeard.

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?

A ban on mobile phones or a scrambling device to block all signals esp internet.
