Hull City.

[Ipswich_Seagull]

When Keegan took over first time around, I seem to remember that Newcastle were nearly relegated to the third tier.

 

[The Ringleader]

Any team when the male fans have bigger boobs than the woman fans deserve to go down...

 

[The Spanish]

MOTD cliches that get trotted out

Brilliantly organised

home ground now a real fortress

They do the basics really well

the prosecution rests mlud.

Hull deserve to go straight back down for being too complacent.
Stoke play dreadful football but they've done well to stay up.

I believe at the start of the season on this very site i said Stoke would be the only one out of the 3 to stay up.

 

[Easy 10]

Hull are an inspiration to clubs like ours, the parallels are numerous. We've both bounced round the lower leagues almost our entire existance, both had similar crowd levels down the years, and both been on the brink of disappearing completely. Now they've got a smart new stadium and its played a fundamental role in completely transforming their fortunes. They are EXACTLY the kind of football club we can aspire to.

Personally I'll be gutted if they nick Newcastles spot in next seasons Championship.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Well I hope they stay up. Far rather Boro and Necastle went down.

surely Hull in the premier means that Brighton in the premier is possible with the right money and organisation , i was impressed with them earlier in the season but they seem to be out of their depth a little now but this is a side that came through the play offs like Derby a year before and have shown more necessity to stay in the premier , I personally would like to see Newcastle , Middlesboro go down instead for the simple reason is that they have been clinging on for years and no club is big enough to go down in their place apart from wolves and bham city i would like to see burnley come up ,different names may be the same outcome of bottom three material but it does make the premiership with teams like fulham,wigan,stoke,hull and westbrom different and a little bit more easy to watch

Hull fans think they are now the number 1 club in Yorkshire.

Newcastle won away to Leicester and we lost at Ipswich thus sending us down on the last day of the season.

Well based on current league position they'd be right.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Can't say I have any particular issues with them.

I do like seeing different teams in the Premier League though. It'd be deeply boring if the only teams to get promoted and relegated each season were the usual yoyo clubs of Birmingham, Wolves and West Brom. Nothing wrong with seeing a few novelty sides in there, teams who are just grateful for the shot at the big time, rather than the usual suspects who have delusions of grandeur and float in that no-mans land, occupied by those not good enough for the Premier League while still too rich and strong for the Championship.

Preston or Burnley next season would be great

Bit of an echo in here!

 

[WhingForPresident]

I really don't see how Hull are a template for us. They've done too much in too little time, and scraped their way there, their manager is a complete prick that has surely won himself the wanker of the year award after that Man City incident and their fans are bandwagon-ing ex Man-United fans with no passion for the club whatsoever.

I'd rather we build up a base of real supporters at Falmer for the next 5-10 years, and ensure we have the strongest squad possible before we even attempt to reach the Premiership. Surely that is logical? Do you really want Falmer to be full of Man United/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal shirts a la Mk Dons then to be empty when the winning stops? Just look at Birmingham, Reading etc.

Manchester is in Yorkshire

manchester is in lancashire you dozy tool

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Do Hull residents consider themselves to be from Yorkshire?

They prefer to say East Yorkshire , just as we identify with East or West Sussex. Dont mention Humberside , this is now discredited as a political whim that went wrong.
