The Hull FC rugby club, as opposed to the city of Kingston-upon-Hull or the river that runs through it, of course.
Options:
1. Like 'em - Hull are my second team and I like to see them do well.
2. No strong feelings - Hull mean no more or less to me than Castleford or Warrington.
3. Local rivals - winning the derbies and finishing above Hull is important.
4. Dislike Hull and want them to lose every game.
5. Hate Hull - would support a team dredged from Hell against them and if the Airlie Bird got scabies, I'd laugh.
6. Existentially despise 'em - wish they were no more.

I'd have to go for category 4. I'm not that interested in them, but I do like to see them lose.
I was sorely tempted to go for category 5, purely for the description. Marvellous!
Seeing as you must have voted in your own poll Mild Rover and only you and I have therefore voted, you appear to have outed your self as a closet Hull FC fan.
Are you off your face on brown?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

No, that was me! Just for "research" to see how easily the poll could be hijacked

Of course, how foolish of me, and looking at the way it's going and the bigger number of you deluded humbugs infecting these boards it's going to turn out rather skewed.

I've always found Kabbadi a good way to pass the time if there's a group of you stuck for something to do.
Not many teams in the UK either, they might be good at that.

Okay, fair cop.
I note with interest your failure to object to being correctly described as "an infection"
