[quote="Mirfieldbull"]Hull away at the Boulevard in a cup quarter final replay in 1979, I remember it as if it was yesterday
An 8-4 win when Hull had 70% of the ball and a great pack, but they did not pass!! Their points came from 2 pens, we scored 2 tries and 2 drops including Ian's
The Threepeny stand started laughing when he attempted it, they stopped when it was still rising when it went over the posts.
I knew someone who knew someone on the board at Hull. They told him there was over 25,000 in the crowd that night, but they only declared 18,000 as that was all the ground was certified for and that we had shafted them in the game at Odsal by declaring about 10,000 less in the ground than there was so we could pocket the difference!! Some things keep coming round for our great club
We had about 2,000 in the crowd at Hull, it wasn't a place for the faint hearted
RIP big man!![/quote]
I can confirm it was indeed very scary for a 12yr old at his first ever away game
