QuoteRoofs="Roofs"Looking on the positive side, God how things have changed in this city. Five years ago we were in administration, National League One, part-time and averaging 2000 fans.
Hull were in Super League, averaging at least 10,000, competing in huge televised games and looking light years ahead of us.
Fast-forward to 2009, we're competitive in SL, with four times our support of five years ago, and gutted at losing a thrilling match by 1 point to a class side in a CC Q/F. Meanwhile, our neighbours are several points behind us, didn't get as far in the CC, and we have the upper-hand in SL derbies, despite them laughing at us when we were promoted with claims of "8 easy points" etc.
Taking all that into consideration, things don't feel as bad tonight as they did today, and as a neutral said on the VT, our club is destined for truly great things.
C'mon you Reds!!!

On the hull board this would last as long as Hutchie did on here

No need, they are the ones doing the chasing now.'"
True GML. Funny how both sets of fans feel the need to compare each side against the other when it is seldom necessary.
