No we used to have these things called songs. We had this one song that everyone used to start on a big "OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" before singing it all together at the same time. It was quite good. I wish I could remember what it was called?
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.

The atmosphere was virtually none existant, except for the odd one off big game in the final 10 years of the Boulevard.
We spent some of those years outside the top flight after not being selected to play in SL, when we did get in SL we were bottom 2 for the first couple of years and then went through a merger - the ground was full once that I can recall (1997 v Rovers).
It was always going to be a crap atmos during these years. If we went back now, with bigger crowds than 2002, the atmos would be alot better. Just compare Craven Park from 2005 to this season.
btw, I wouldnt support a move back for one minute.

Standee's worst nightmare: A Friday night game at the Boulevard, stood in the middle of a loud threepenny next to the HFC board, reading a match day programme riddled with spelling mistakes, after a 1 hour 45 minute drive.

That really is a pathetic attitude.
You wanna support a sporting team, show encouragement and generally try and improve thier perfomance, you sing. Its also something form a personal perspective that enhances my experience.
Old Faithful has completely gone at home. That simply has to be wrong and something we could do to try and rectify.
only way I can see it happening though is ripping out the seating. Hence the point of the OP methinks.

That has never happened at a Hull FC home game at any point in history. FACT.
