For those of you that enjoy watching these videos, the Hull one is now up on YouTube. It's well worth a stay over next time we play them if you fancy making a weekend trip of it. I had no idea that Hull was anything like it is and I think you will be surprised too if you have never been. We had a great time, 'The Deep' in Hull is incredible an absolute must visit, best breakfast ever? that has to be Nibbles
To see what it was like here is our video

I love this cultural stuff that accompanies the match.
I went to Hull on Dave Beattie's coach in the 80s to watch us at Boothferry Park.
We lost.
We crapped it.
Things were different and it's weird to see that the city's become hip and has attracted money. In its transformation it's an east coast equivalent to Liverpool in some ways.
One gaping omission and for me, one the things that sets Hull apart has been missed. Not on your part but from the tourist office ...... one of the best bands of all time - Ziggy Stardust's "SPIDERS FROM MARS" featuring the incomparable Mick Ronson on guitar - come from Hull.
As Spudgun once said - "Hull's finest".

Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.

Why are phone boxes in Hull cream?
Hull's telephone network was never run by the Post Office which was responsible for red phone boxes.
In 1904, Hull City Council was one of several local authorities to set up their own phone network.
Back then it was called Hull Telephone Department and today it is KCOM. It had cream phone boxes.
Other authorities later gave up control of their networks to the Post Office which wanted to create a single national service.
While the Post Office network was eventually taken over by BT, Hull's remained independent.
All of the communications in the city were run by the city council until it sold its final stake in 2007 and so all of the phone boxes are cream, not the red that BT uses.
