the booooooolevard would need massive redevelopment and as said above where would that come from??I do think though,if you did return to it, it would help you rediscover your identity as an rl club. cant see it though.

I wasn't aware we lost our identity.

As much as I would love to see Hull FC play at the Boulevard just that one last time, it would need serious re-development even to meet Craven Park's standards...which is saying something!
I dont see the problem with a 25 or a 35,000 stadium. Yeah the atmopshere will be drained some what but there's nothing worse then standing in the pouring rain.
The only major issue I have with the KC at the moment is the fact you cannot drink your beer on the terraces! You wait 10 mins at half time in the queue and then have to drink it within a couple of seconds, otherwise you miss the second half. I cant think of any other ground which has this same ban, its ridiculous!

The beer issue is true. The ban is ridiculous and must lose the SMC loads. They also employ half witted bar staff that take eons to perform the most simple tasks. When you eventually get your pint, it tastes like washing up liquid.
I would be quite happy with KC if the ban was removed and a section of the ground was reserved for standing. I will prefer Boulevard until we can fill the KC and hear a unified 'Old Faithful' drown out the noise of the KR mob.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.

I smell a petition coming on!
We need to get rid of the ban...even more so now that home games are played on a friday evenings at 8:00pm, the ideal time to have a pint.
That is one ban that needs to be lifted asap! And as you mentioned about the half-witted staff, jesus they're all imported by Zimbabwe or something....they dont have a fecking clue!
Lift the ban on drinking beer on the terraces at KC Stadium
Quote:This is one problem that has affected many Hull FC fans during the move to KC Stadium in 2003. Every other ground in the UK allows its supporters home and away to enjoy a nice pint of lager or bitter whilst watching their favourite rugby league or football side.
At the KC Stadium however, they expect you to wait in a 10 minute queue, get served by a half-witted fool and then drink the alcholic drink in under a minute, otherwise you will miss the first or second half of the sporting match.
This is not only losing the SMC money but it is really annoying the fans, both Hull FC and Hull City.
All of the alcholic drinks are sold in a plastic holder so injury could never be caused to anybody other then getting wet, should the alcholic drink spill or tip. Spectactors are however allowed to bring fizzy drinks onto the terraces and if spilt, would cause the person/s to get wet in the exact same way. They are also allowed to drink tea and coffee which if spilt, really COULD injury somebody!
Finally, since the introduction to all Friday night home games for Hull FC fixtures in 2009, I find it appropriate that the majority of fans will want to enjoy a nice cold beverage at 8:00PM, before they head off into the town centre and/or down Anlaby Park into the local pubs.
This ban is absolutely ridiculous and the only people that will dis-agree with me on this matter are re-covering alcholics and just generally people who dont like beer.
