The ground is not just a dump but your grubby, embittered little chairman thinks its OK to charge Hull fans extra.

Doesn't stop thousands of you going to Wakey and Cas though does it? Have you even been to CP since the changes to facilities? It's not perfect but we have done a lot more than Cas and Wakey to improve the ground. What about Headingley presumably you enjoy standing in the rain? i would take our ground over some soulless huge concrete bowl to rattle around in. I suggest you try the new north stand and you may be pleasantly surprised.

The view might have something to do with it.

The North Stand is great, but you can't moan that we don't bring thousands when there are only so many tickets available in there.

I do understand that mate but you struggle to sell out your North Stand allocation, it's a cultural thing, my mate is a big Hull fan and he says he refuses to go to Caravan Park.

A "cultural thing", that's a new one.
I probably went 200+ times to the "old" Craven Park, and just once to the "new" one, when we played our first ever game there.
That was enough for me.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

I think you will find it has improved since then, I will watch my club anywhere (yes even Swinton next year) but then maybe that's just me!

I was there to see Scotland v Aus, so yes I have seen these so called improvements. It is a poor ground by any standard. At least the view from the side at Wakey is unrestricted and I'd rather brave the elements than stretch around obstructions. Cas and Wakey also have the excuse of dating back over 50 years when stadium design technology was primitive to say the least. By the 1980's when the dobbins cesspit was built there was no excuse for new build stands to have restricted views other than cheap penny pinching in the design.

I really don't understand the bitterness towards our small inconsequential club. What have Cas and Wakey done since to their grounds? They look like grouds that date back 50 years, I particulary enjoy standing in pee in the toilets at Cas!

We just don't like you very much, silly. Plus the taxpayers of Hull subsidise your peppercorn rent already, wouldn't want to be boosting your coffers still further surely? :wink:

Aaah nail on head, why didn't you all just say you didn't like us instead of blaming the facilities, silly sausage! I like this coffee woman!'
