    Sure am. EAST Hull lol!

    My cousin is Neil Thompson THOMMO, so started watching the reds the year we went up (went to about 8 games) and was there when we beat Bradford 2v0! Got a pass for the premier league and had the same seat in the ponty ever since even though Neil left after the premier league!!

    Travel from Hull to every home game/some away games (I go watch Hull City a bit 2!!). Drove to charlton on Saturday 2 :) Never miss a Hull KR game though home or away, including catalans away last year :)

    Good stuff.</p>

    So if push came to shove...Hull or Barnsley?</p>

    Were you a football fan before you started going to our games? Not tempted to support Hull at football?</p>

    How can a team win a World Cup Quarter Final by 4 kicks? It's *****.

    You just need to look at the players themselves to see which is the sport and which is the game. Players who are fat and can't run get to play in an England pack wheras Rugby League is by far and away the more athletic and skillful of the 2.

    Also a sport that allows stamping on your unprotected opponents while they lay on the floor is just disgusting (Sorry, I mean clearing the ruck)

    RE: You from Hull?

    This year is the 1st season I haven't had a pass at City as well since 1996 lol. So going to more Barnsley games this year & have done for a few years now really!! Get some stick for it off my mates :D

    I have been a big fottie fan all my life. Watched ITFC and City for years!! Was mascot at Anfield for Ipswich thanks to Neil and at Hillsborough BOOOO when I was younger, with my brother who still follows ITFC all over as he was 16 when Neil left them and had the feel for them like I got for Barnsley, I was 11 when he signed!

    So you can imagine what wembley 2000 was like in our house :'( :'(

    Yep, he should have won it. Yeah big chance of top 6 next year, but as long as we aren't near the bottom it's progress again :)

    I am not a Rugby fan to be honest , but can you explain the &quot;skill&quot; involved in league?</p>

    It lacks variety for me , and reminds me of basketball on grass , and I cant stand that either.</p>

    Union does have variety of situations , but falls down when a team can win when it doesnt even get near the oppos line. Also the rules are far tto complicated.</p>

    League is way better

    but I always watch England at Union just because it's England, not like I understand whats happening. And the refs point to the line the team is defending when awarding a penalty which always gets me haha

    League

    All the way, union just seems pointless to me.

    Wakey Wildcats are my team, few of my mates from school play for them.(Y)

    A few are at Bradford too.
