As usual the government have made a right pig's ear of things. The East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority does not include Hull (which has its own UA). However the ceremonial county of The East Riding of Yorkshire does include HUll.



I guess the road signs refer to the UA, just as we have welcome to Kirklees signs.





Whatever, they all talk funny and are probably only historically in Yorkshire because proper Yorkshire folk conquered them many years ago. When we realised our mistake we tried to get rid of them, hence the formation of Humberside. However, they liked the kudos of being associated with Yorkshire so we sold them a franchise for eleventy-hundred squillion quid.

I thought it was twelvety...?



(LoG)

You could be right - I think all the Rovers fans chipped in a quid each. They had a fair few million left over, so the council spent it on building the KC stadium.

East Yorkshire,



what you all don't hear is a little boy shouting FC after we've sung "we all hate hull"

Can't beat your mass chorus

An The Red Red Robbin Goes Bob Bob Bobbing Along -- SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT THE B*STARDS

Singular... get it right if you are having a pop

dont need get it right as long as u understand it ,,

Some kind of 'Barracuda' chant in homage to a former name.

I was just giving that period a little more heritage

Or as we call it "Getting it wrong".

We dont chant about Hull City FC and they dont chant about us



why bring Football teams into it?

Because you evidently don't know about the situation between HTFC and Ken Davy.

Talk about a thread drift....





How about "Mrs Hall's sausage rolls..."?

You want this [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=412266thread[/url!

actually thats not a bad shout, anyone up for it?

Thanks , it may catch on you never know.

Just shows how long you've been following the game. For many years (and still often now) they were known as Hull. The FC bit was tagged on in recent years so that they had three syllables to play with when they were composing songs.

i've been watching long enough thanks

Yeah Daz. That shows you.

how about..... "we are top of the league"



that will be a good song for friday at about half 9

If you get there why shouldn't you? We certainly would if it was us!

I'll not be at all surprised to see Rovers take this one TBH. At home on Sky. They lost a heartbreaker to Wire and we just pipped Cas. It's got all the makings of us getting beat. It should hopefully be a good game though, we're pretty closely matched but if both sides give their best I think we would nick it. But we're not as consistent as they are, which is our main problem along with conceding penalties.

I would agree and for the first time in ages I am looking forward to a really good game, I just hope we turn up.
