1941 baby in arms mother took me during the war ,Hull only played Yorkshire teams Hull borrowed
players from other teams that were not playing during the war times .Rover never had a team during those times.Black and White through and through .Seen the good times and bad

39 and not sure when i was hooked as I was taken to nearly all the games from 1973 onwards but I think when we brought over the Kiwis (O'hara/Kemble/James L (never can spell his last name)) I got really excited with all things Hull.

45 and not sure really I was took to Hull & amateur games from a very young age maybe about 8 yrs old and had no choice in the matter, I used to like it as I know my mum would buy me sweets to keep me occupied, think I got hooked around 14.

Had a few gaps with season passes when my children were born due to finances etc

I am 65,used to go to the boulevard at about 9 yrs of age mainly to play around under the scoreboard!! jonny whiteley came to our school,(west dock ave) with 2p tickets for the games, really into it by 10/11yrs still suffering/enjoying to this day!!!

When I was 7, last game of the 78/79 season, we lost to Salford and were relegated. Apart from a few years in the mid 90's when I worked every Sunday I've been a regular.

My mum was red and white and dad FC and I was taken to my first match at Rovers in 1946 and shortly afterwards to the Boulevard. I lived until I left Hull in 1960 near Marfleet station not too far away from where my mum was brought up in nearby dockland with her 12 siblings. Her eldest sister came to Australia to marry an Aussie in 1919 followed by her next eldest married sister. As a young kid I was sent stuff from Aus and became fascinated with the place and of things Australian. My decision to opt for supporting the Black and Whites came with the arrival of the 3 Australian players Watt, Jackson and Ryan to the Boulevard in 1947. I had a brief go at playing rugby league (for Fenners) in my teens but decided watching Hull was better ( and physically less damaging!!).

Ive just turned 40 and my first game was the final home game before the 1980 CC Final which i also went too though dont remember a thing about it. My dad used to take us home and away season after season and i was at every final except the premiership final when we won but we fell out of love with FC in the Casey years and beyond and then i started going again when we was the Sharks and after a couple of seasons managed to drag my dad back when we used to stand in the well with my two brothers. Then we moved to the KC and my dad got a season ticket in East on the half way line and id be there with my brothers in the south/east corner till the Agar years kicked in and ive sort of fallen out of love with FC again though i still managed to take my kids aged 8, 6 and 4 to their first games last season and a couple this season so the legacy continues

Im 46 and first went in 1975 with my Nana and think we played Hunslet.After that i went all the time and took my eldest for the 1st time when we played Sts in a play-off match at boulevard and she now is a pass holder as is youngest.

I'm in my early 40s and first started going in 1978-79, the 100% season. First game was the 61-10 win over Oldham.

We never won enough trophies in that period up to 1985 but it was still a great time to be a Hull supporter.

1973

I'm 43 and started going with my dad and grandad sometime in the mid 70's. Honestly don't know what the 1st game I saw was. I do remember it mostly being bloody cold though and going back to my Gran's after the games and thawing out in front of her coal fire.

Got dragged to the Boulevard in the mid 60's by my Mum, Dad and Nanna who all stood in threepenny. Was only about 7 at the time and playing on the hill at the Gordon Street end held more excitement for me (stayed away from threepenny stand because it stank). I used to like waiting for half time when the gates opened and everyone surged in to watch the second half for free. Only really took an interest in the early seventies and it went from there and i've never looked back, been some good, bad and dreadful times but it's in the blood so will always be a black and white.

1961. 5 year old and like FC50 enjoyed playing on Gordon st hill more than the games. It was against the dobbins and I can remember even now the fight some young kids had with the dobbins fans behind the hill in the thick mud. Not sure who won the game though. Still got a rotting program from that game somewhere in the loft.

Started in 79 and been hooked ever since.

1969 Yorkshire Cup final at Headingley against Featherstone. After that it was back to reality and a mostly empty Boulevard, which I used to walk around and around during the games. Early memories include Len Casey's debut and a try by Kenny Foulkes who seemingly tackled and engulfed by four or five defenders at the (new) scoreboard end, all of a sudden stuck his arm out of the mass of players and plonked the ball down for a try. Haven't a clue who they were playing, but happy memories.

The 100% season - '78/'79. First game was vs Blackpool. I think the score was 8-7.

70. Started watching along with Dad, 3 uncles, an auntie, 2 cousins and my brother. We all stood on Gordon Street end and watched the likes of Gittoes on the right and Ivor Watts on the left, so I would guess that would be around 1950. I'm still as daft aboout the boys as I was then. I almost forgot my Grandad.

20 years old, been a season ticket holder since 2004
First game in 2000, Challenge Cup QF against Wigan if i remember rightly?
thought it was different considering the only rugby i had ever watched was the 6 nations and was really into football and Hull City.
Watched FC on a number of occasions over the next 3 years including the final game at the Boulevard and a memorable game against Bradford in which we were down and beat needing 3 or 4 tries, we got them and then they scored a drop goal. that game was when i really took a liking to the game.
2004 was when i really got to understand the game more and even though i was fairly new to the sport I could tell we were a good team that year and consistent and would say is when I got 'hooked' and somewhere down the line converted my dad from union to league

Full marks for your missionary work!!

First game was the 1980 cc final i was 10 at the time and my abiding memory was abide with me being sung cannon and ball providing entertainment and the fact that we run out of time to winicon_smile.gif. I followed Hull then up until 85 where i joined the Royal Navy and for the next 24 years it was when i was on leave i managed to get to games. I was privilidged enough to watch kemble ohara leulei and the amazing peter stirling. still go as often as i can working shifts and always keeping the faith.

Think I was 7 and it was a 7s/9s tournament at boulevard in 85, we lost to Fev I believe in the semi and they won it. Started going after that on scoreboard end (waiting in Griffin car park whilst my dad had a couple cos kids weren't allowed in! But only really got hooked two seasons later when I moved from the hill to threepenny.

The Seven Seas Sevens?

We held that for two or three years, enjoyed those tournaments.

Could well have been that mate it was a fair while ago and it was all new to me! My overriding mory is my old man let me have sip of his beer and I thought he was a legend and rugby was cool

My dad used to take me a lot when I was a kid but the game I remember the most and when I was truly hooked to FC was the 14-4 win at the Boulevard in the challenge cup against Wigan in 2000. Was more or less dragged into rugby from birth but from that game I couldn't get enough. Even the next round defeat at McAlpine against Leeds didn't put me off when we got beat and then invaded the pitch!!
