The Avenues have always been the most expensive rental area in Hull because of the location and the Victorian houses. But you're right that prices have jumped recently. Part of it is the university pushing demand up. Part of it is people like yourself moving from more expensive cities and being...

I think it's partly a cultural thing that's changed with modern football. When I first started going in the 90s everyone sang because that's just what you did. Now people sit there filming on their phones and posting to Instagram instead of actually getting behind the team. I sound like a grumpy...

The passing range on this bloke is something else. That diagonal ball he plays from the right side of midfield to the left winger is basically our entire attacking plan and it works every single time because no one can stop it. He sees the game in slow motion while everyone else is running...

We're past the halfway point and sitting in the playoffs. Time for predictions. Where do Hull City finish this season? I'm going to say fifth. I think we'll stay in the playoffs but I can't see us catching the top two. Leeds and Sheffield United are too strong and too consistent. The good news...

For anyone going to Leeds, park at one of the park and ride sites and get the bus into town. Trying to park anywhere near Elland Road is a nightmare and the residential streets around the ground are all permit zones now. The park and ride drops you about a ten minute walk from the ground. For...

I was in a pub in Hull. Couldn't get a ticket, the allocation sold out in about five minutes. The whole place went absolutely mental when the ball went in. People jumping on tables, beer everywhere, someone put a chair through the ceiling. Then we all piled into town and it was just thousands of...

For that budget in the Avenues you should be able to find something decent. Beware that a lot of Avenues properties are older Victorian houses converted into flats and some of them are draughty in winter. Check the EPC rating before you commit. For letting agents, I’ve had good experiences with...

Absolutely rate Thieving Harry’s. The courtyard is one of the best kept secrets in Hull. I’d add The Sailmaker near the marina — not technically a coffee shop but they do good coffee and it’s dead quiet on weekday mornings. Perfect for getting work done without the background noise of a busy cafe.

After Windass got us promoted the big question was whether we could actually survive in the Premier League. Nobody gave us a chance. We were everyone's favourites to go straight back down. Then the season started and we beat Fulham on the opening day. Phil Brown's Hull City actually looked like...

I keep reading articles saying Hull has some of the cheapest property in England and wondering how long it can last. The average house price in Hull is still well under £200K while the national average is pushing towards £300K. That’s a massive difference. I bought my three-bed semi in Anlaby in...

If you haven’t done the full Hull Marina walk recently, you’re missing out. I did it last weekend on a crisp Sunday morning and it reminded me why I love this city. Start at The Deep, walk along the river past the tidal barrier, then round into the marina itself. Past all the boats, through to...

It’s been nearly a decade since Hull was UK City of Culture. At the time it felt like a massive moment for the city — national attention, big events, proper investment. But looking back now, did it actually make a lasting difference? On the positive side, the physical transformation is...

Chelsea have about 400 players on loan at any one time so I'm sure they can spare us one or two. Jokes aside having someone on the inside at a top club is always useful in this league. Half the Championship is built on Premier League loan players these days

This is interesting if it plays out the way Acun seems to be suggesting. Having connections at a club like Chelsea could open doors for loan deals we'd never normally have access to. The question is whether we actually use those connections properly or if its just another example of big talk and...

On paper this is one we should be winning comfortably but the Championship doesn't work like that. QPR may be struggling but they've got some players who can hurt you on the break if we're not careful. Key for me is the first 15 minutes, set the tone early and the crowd will do the rest. Going...
