Sorry but you are simply wrong.

Why is it that former players always harped on about the "magnificent" hull fans and the fact they could often be a 14th man? Cos it was a s4it atmosphere?
Just face facts that the KC, magnificent stadium as it is, is more often than not sterile

Have you ever heard any player of any team slate the fans of a club they have just left (Paul Cooke excluded).

The manificent fans thing is based in the numbers that travelled and vocally supported the team on their travels.

Having spoken to several players from years gone by, the ones who played in period 1993-1996 would have a very different opinion.

I am not referring to former FC players. Use Shaun Edwards, joe Lydon, Johnathan Davies etc

No, but you clearly were.

NZ game - party, friendly, nothing game in reality.

Chico went 90 yards against Whitehaven who brought about 6 fans, no real noise made through out the game.

Hudds game - we had a great performance against our nearest rivals. basically you are saying it took the players on the field to get the fans going.

Sheffield game - granted, the fans were up for that one.

Ultimately its the fanes the generate the noise, not the ground

What? The game where he was playing on the left wing, caught an interception, went the length and then laid down for about 2 minutes? Pretty sure it was Batley! I remember it as Tomlinson throwing the intercept!

Who cares if it's the players that got us going or not? It still resulted in the ground being atmospheric?

Just watched my Hull tries video from '96 and in almost EVERY home game you can hear the fans going off!

Because the sound was recorded from opposite the 3d, perhaps?

TBF, you would kind of expect that from a compilation tape of us scoring tries.

How could it be? According to you lot you couldn't hear the 3d from any other part of the ground!

You do also remember the microsphones in the 3d, linked to the tannoy system? (although that was soon stopped)

You saying we had the foresight to only sing 3 or 4 tackles before we scored?

It was only used for 2 games including a classic against Saints.

the fact it was felt needed kind of blows your argument clean out of the water though.
