 They had the marvellous good fortune, that because of geographical isolation they had their own phone network....Kingston Communications, which was council owned.

 This meant when it was sold off for multi millions, the profits that came the council's way, were classed as a windfall, as opposed to being taxpayer's money.

 Therefore the council could build the KC Community Stadium, which Hull use with no cost to the club.

 Of course other things have to happen, but it don't half help....

I remember being one of the coldest times ever in my life stood in the town end on a tuesday night watching a 0-0 draw with hull.

It's all money.

I'd be impressed if it was plucky determination but it isn't and I doubt it ever will be again.

Yes, yes fair play for their start this season but the country have them down as coming out of the blue but it clearly wasn't the case.

Shows how the Premiership and most of it's supporters operate within a Barclays sponsored bubble.

They have not spent that much rich. They went up last year with players like,dawson,ashbee,windas,barmby all cheap signings. Most of it is down to brown imo

Miserable bastards

Shame they'll be relegated alongside Stoke and West Brom come May.

I have a hunch they're going to crash second half of the season.
