Been going for 22 years but my memory of most games over five years ago is pretty poor. A CC semi final replay at Elland Road against Halifax where the score was 4-3 sticks out but that was probably because of the p155 up!

Wembley 85 was also fantastic had a right good mickey up round London even though i was only 13 but remember the atmosfear adn excitement of going.

Best modern memory has to be the CC 2005. One of the best days of my life!

Perhaps not the most memorable but the game the play-off game against Bradford in 2006 which booked our place in the GF was one of the games I've enjoyed in recent years.

Best non-derby atmosphere at the KC IMO, the last 10 mins when we realised we'd made it to the Grand Final was just immense.

Others from the KC era that stand-out are:

First game V Halifax: not just because it was first, but the mental early sending off of Jason Smith.

Leeds at home 2004: surely the most exciting game to remain 0-0 at half-time. Some outstanding rugby played that game.

Saints at home 2005: Absolutely smashed them, to the extent their late consolation try was greeted with sarcastic cheers.

Saints at home 2006: In complete contrast to the above, we got smashed with an abysmal performance that would ultimately seal John Kear's fate as coach. A pivotal moment in our recent history.

Challenge Cup Semi Final 2005: The best I have seen Hull play in the 20 or so years i've been a fan. Cooke and Kearney were phenomenal.

Challenge Cup Final 2005: Don't even need to write the reasons why!

Bradford at home 2007: not for the game itself, but the pre-match speculation and gossip that Cooke was about to join Rovers. The stands were literally alive with gossip, and disbelief that he would even consider it.

Home derby 2008: smashed them with Tom Briscoe's length of the field try, despite having an otherwise awful season.

Saints at home 2010: So bad in the first half that some people went home at half-time. Second-half comeback and late winning drop-goal was probably the high point of the Agar era.

Rovers at home 2010: Fantastic game, end to end rugby, massive fight in front of the West Stand, all topped off by Tom Briscoe's superb game-winning tackle in the dying seconds.

Elland Road, 1982 for me.

The two runaround tries in three minutes from Kemble and Topliss just before half time were immense.

Our night, felt that all the ground was full of FC fans.

saints at home 2010
kr at home 2010

It WAS......

82 game v Aussies,
80 semi final at Swinton against Widnes. the most away following apart from finals that I`ve ever seen.
The three semi`s against Cas in the 90`s.
Last game of season 78/79 when we had gone unbeaten, fantastic noise all the way through. The threepenny stand was so loud my mam couldn`t hear her mate talking on the hill at Ailie street it was so loud she said.
Loads of other games that make the hair on my neck stand up.
Games at Leeds always up there, Wigan also.

If we're talking memorable rather than enjoyable what about the 70odd point thumping we took at Bradford a few years back and last years playoff game against Leeds both memorable for all the wrong reasons.
I know it's a cliche but on the positive it's got to be the challenge cup win for me.
Does anyone else remember the fan wandering around with a snake in a bag. I mean that literally it's not a euphemism for something else!

Been following FC for 20 years now and have seen some great games and some great occasions, obviously many people will answer the following question with grand final, premiership or CC finals but what is the most memorable game you have witnessed whilst following Hull

Suprisingly for me it is actually a loss...

When we played the all conquering Wigan side in the challenge cup at the Boulevard in 94, I remember having a healthy lead possibly 19-2 at one stage and dreaming of putting an end to the run they were on, i believe we even turned down a 2 pointer to extend the lead at one point.Of course that came back to prove crucial as Wigan got away with a 21-22 Victory.

I remember a big crowd and a terrific atmosphere at The Boulevard that day and ive Just looked up the archive of it and looking through the sides you wouldnt of thought that Hull side would get anywere near Wigan infront of 11k fans that day.

Ironically they came back to the Boulevard a month Later and we Turned them Over 18-4.

That game goes down as the most gutted I have ever felt after a game!

hull v wigan march 88 we had to win to stay up wigan got penalty in last ten minutes for off sidr and joe lydon went to kick the penalty however he put it wide and gary pearce caught it ran the length of the field to pass it to i thinl paul mcaffery(?) to score winning try i was in threpeeny stand and it went absolutly mental!

cc final 05 of course and also john player final in early 80,s when we beat the dobbins at headingly!!

2006 saints away iirc

My favourites were Sheffield at home to stay up after a great FC road trip to Blackpool for the weekend
For some bizarre reason, I really had a great time in the 71-0 away against bradford, I remember the atmos being brilliant, probably as we drank the bars dry!
