The Casey-Ah Koi game was a classic and if anyone hasn't seen it there are highlights on THAT video sharing site. Search Ah koi Hull FC. Casey pushing the touch judge is funny as hell. Check out the pass from Knocker to Divorty for Leuluais try, absolute class!

That game in '83 was just amazing. All three of our kiwi's scored, the gentleman that is Gary Kemble got sent off for fighting, the ironic cheer that greeting David Halls consolation try, it being so packed it too an age just to get out of the ground.
Although not a favourite match, the good Friday game of 1981 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons due to the crowd disturbance. But an abiding memory of the game was the last minute penalty which Paul Woods took which would have won it for us. Woods' knees were wobbling visibly with what was the kick which would have decided that game. Sadly his attempt just fell short.

Quote ="Graham Richards"Was that the same draw in which Clive Pickerill managed to touch a drop goal attempt that went over? In the days when a touch cancelled out a drop. Good rule should bring it back.
I love the 20,000+ crowds. If memory serves our capacity was 18500 at the ">time.'"
Crowd was 20,569 that night.

Our capacity had previously been 18,500, however the extra work extending the Gordon Street terrace (the very same that had contributed to the 1981 Boulevard riot) had extended the capacity to above 20,000.
Think that was the only time we went over the 20,000 mark at the Boulevard in the 80's era, but sold out with the 18,500 capacity on a few occasions.

Very dark day. Think about 40+ people were taken to hospital. It made the Six O'Clock news on the BBC. I can still recall Hull & Rovers fans being led around the speedway track with blood pouring from their heads.
Remember that Hull were winning when it all kicked off. The referee took the teams off for 20 minutes. When the game resumed it was a different game and Rovers won out winners. I think late on, Tony Dean had a perfectly good try under the sticks disallowed from a quick tap penalty. Nowadays with that incident the game, would have been abandoned. Hoepfully, we'll never see a repeat. |
