This is right really, we have been blessed as supporters in recent times. A kid who is a hull fan of Say 10-12 years old now may have seen the best times in the next 30 years. But I hope not and that we as a club can build on the recent successes and kick on.

So doesn't this say some fans including yourself are in exactly the same mould as the 10-5 and 6-42 Rovers fans?
Winning at Wembley in 2016 wasn't for me anywhere near as meaningful or emotional as it was for most, I just think as I always did that the not winning at Wembley thing was a load of toss, utterly meaningless. Cardiff in 2005 as indeed did 1982 mean far more to me than the wins in '16 & '17. My pinnacle I guess was the 1983 season, 2005 was very special because of where we were as a team and how we played on the day.
For you and others the '16 win, Houghton's tackle are the pinnacle as you've said, so don't you think that in exactly the same way some/most Rovers fans will be in exactly the same boat with the 10-5 derby final win being the pinnacle and difficult to eclipse?
20 or 30 years time and you could be hanging on to the self same thing

I don't even get why you are so bothered what that lot hang on to to be honest.

for me and others of a certain age, 2016 was an emotional day imo never to be beaten, that's not to say I still don't get wound up every game, on fri I was frantic, but the feeling of 2016 will never be beaten for me, but its gone and I enjoyed 2017 more tbh, for me id love to get to Wembley and get the treble for others its the grand final,i guess it depends a lot on age group as well,

Maybe. As you say I think you’re in a minority of believing winning twice at Wembley was completely meaningless. I guess we could still be harking back to it in 40 years (well, not me personally as I’m unlikely to be around then!) but it would be disappointing to think it would signal we’d essentially done nothing since other than oscillate between the first and second tiers.

If you lose 50-0 at Wembley can you both lose and be beaten ?
I’m still unsure

The win at Wembley in 2016 was everything. Not winning at Wembley was a monkey on our back which we had no guarantee of ever being rid of.
Winning in 2005 was amazing but in now way compared to the sheer outpouring of emotion in 2016. How many of us came away from the game in 2005 elated but cursing the fact we hadn't won the game at Wembley Stadium?!
Then to go back a year later and right some wrongs of previous final defeats was too good to be true.
A truly defining couple of years.

Visited the 10-5 bar only once in 2010 after a Catalans match and saw a clock stopped at 10:05 but never knew about the 6:42 one.

For me as a long time Hull FC supporter periods of solid success have come in roughly 30 year cycles with lean/ average times between. So 1950's, 1980's and 2010's. Also 1920's was good for my dad.

the win at Wembley in 2016 was massive, anyone saying it wasn't just a little bit daft!

Isn't it time for your bed the grown ups are having a discussion
