    Championship Away Days Worth the Trip This Season

    Went to QPR away earlier this season. Loftus Road is tiny and outdated but there's something about those old London grounds that I love. You're literally sitting on top of the pitch. Shepherds Bush is decent for pubs before the game and you can jump on the tube afterwards to go into central...

    The First Premier League Season 2008/09

    Geovanni against Arsenal is probably my favourite ever goal at the MKM. The way he just chested it down and smashed it into the top corner. The ground erupted and I remember thinking this is actually happening, we're actually beating Arsenal in the Premier League. The first half of that season...

    What’s One Thing You’d Change About Hull?

    I love this city but it’s not perfect. If you could change one thing about Hull, what would it be? For me it’s the transport links. Getting anywhere by train takes forever. Hull to Manchester is nearly 2 hours, Hull to London is almost 3 on a good day. And don’t even get me started on the state...

    Best Fish & Chips in Hull — The Definitive Ranking

    Going to be controversial here but Cave Street Chippy near the Old Town is my pick. Tiny place, easy to miss, but the fish is always fresh and the chips are proper chunky. Plus it’s dead cheap. But yeah Bob Carver’s is the GOAT overall.

    Hull Marina Walk — Best Waterfront Stroll in Yorkshire?

    This is my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Hull. The full loop from The Deep round the marina and back through the Old Town covers all the best bits of the city in about an hour. Add in a coffee stop at one of the Humber Street cafes and it’s the perfect morning. The Humber Bridge walk...

    Is Hull Property Still a Bargain Compared to the Rest of the UK?

    I think Hull is going to see steady growth over the next 5-10 years. The city centre regeneration is real, the university brings consistent rental demand, and if the Tigers get promoted the media attention alone will put Hull on people’s radar. Buy now if you can is my advice. My brother bought...

    That FA Cup Final Against Arsenal

    May 2014. Hull City 2 Arsenal 0 after eight minutes. I genuinely thought we were going to win the FA Cup. Curtis Davies headed in from a corner and the place went nuts. Then about three minutes later Fryatt or someone bundled another one in and I remember looking at my mate and saying we're...

    Automatic still alive or playoffs it is?

    Honestly I still think it’s there if we put a run together. We’ve been inconsistent at times but we’re right in the mix and you only need a couple of wins on the bounce in this league to change everything. Ipswich and Coventry games feel massive — take points there and suddenly automatic doesn’t...

    MKM Stadium Atmosphere - How Can We Improve It?

    The atmosphere's been dead for years if I'm honest. We need a proper singing section, not just scattered fans trying to get songs going. Look at what Luton did at Kenilworth Road - small ground but massive noise. West Stand used to be bouncing in the Premier League days. Now it's full of...

    Acun Ilicali: Liam Rosenior's Chelsea Move Could Benefit Hull City's Transfer Business

    People don't appreciate what Acun has done for this club. Coming from Turkey and watching Hull City now, it's amazing to see the Turkish connection. Yu Hirakawa signing shows Acun's vision - he's bringing quality from different markets. Yes, we've had ups and downs, but look at the squad depth...

    POST-MATCH THREAD: Sheffield United 0-3 Hull City | What a Statement Win!

    ABSOLUTELY BUZZING! What a result! Matt Crooks on his full debut - what a way to announce yourself! That early goal completely knocked Sheffield United off their stride. We looked solid, organized, and hungry for it. This could be the turning point of our season. If we can perform like this...
