Pre-Match View From Hull — The View From

“We can catch these. I know they are smashing everyone at the moment but our away form is outrageous” “We’re the only club bar Burnley and Sheff Utd unbeaten in the last 5… SO YEAH We’re going the fk up!” “difficult game this but I fancy a 2-1 win” “Kind of game where we could

“Always remember been jumped by about 10 of them near Calvert lane after we had beaten them think 3-1 approx 1980. Ended up hit with a rock or something. They where flat track bullies for too long until city’s lads got wise and all met in New York Bar to walk down together. Different that day for sure. Not really involved in aggro as such but was pleased to see the bastards get a bit back that day. Not encouraging violence at football.”

“Unbelievable! Same thing happened to me around 1987-8, gang of blunts fans knicked my scarf leaving Bramall Lane after a dull 0:0 draw. The gang offered very bravely to fight me for it, there being 5 of them and one of me. I told them if they wanted it that much they could have it. I can only presume that there are hundreds of city scarfs somewhere in South Yorkshire. “

“First team in the early 80s I came across whose crew attacked pensioners and children. I was one of them outside the North stand. Hated the scum ever since.”

“Early 80’s, City v Sheff U at home, walking towards Boothferry Park, from Cod, near the roundabout. We ( mate and me) saw a couple of Sheff Utd nick a scarf off a couple of young kids and slap them across the head, a few yards in front of us. We chased after them and they both ran in to a little sweetshop just past the roundabout and slammed the door shut. We managed to get the door open eventually and the sweetshop owner said they’d both jumped over the counter, ran through the back and out of the back door, leaving the City scarf on the floor. Even recently outside Bramall Lane near the away turnstiles I witnessed a bloke, must have been 40’s, offering a young City fan out, guess he was about 16 and calling him all kinds of a Hull c***t etc, I don’t wear colours, and stepped in ‘I’m from Hull, pick on me’ and this fella looked at me startled , turned, and scarped. I kid you not.”

Like a cross between football factory and jackanory, great stuff.

There's obviously a Blade with loads of Hull scarves in his winterwear draw!

“Even the Wednesday fans think the same”

What, you thought they’d like us?

So you lot are as thick as you sound then? Fucking muppet

Thanks Roygbiv as always

Fun Hull City FACT.
If you tied together all the scarves stolen from Hull City fans by Blades in the 70's and 80's they'd reach all the way to the Decathlon car park and back.

 

[Kop Cat]

We are scarf nicking bastards

 

[NuddysGloves]

One of the best View Froms in a while that, do love a bit of bitterness from fans of a club who clearly hate us but we barely know who they are!

Also I'll be selling Hull scarves outside the away end, built up quite a collection over the years.......

 

[Billyblade]

I'm gonna set a stall up near the away end selling Hull scarves. Should make a killing. Edit - Beat me to it NuddysGloves

Cheers Roy

Hull scarfes certainly sound popular in Sheffield

 

[Cappy]

how about a song from the kop…

47 years of sadness
But United fans having a laugh
Why are the Hull filled with madness
Because United have got all their scarves

"First team in the early 80s I came across whose crew attacked pensioners and children."

They missed off those on disability scooters and wheelchairs.

Cheers Roygbiv , always a delight

 

[BritishSteel]

Calling bullshit on the scarf story. Eveyone knows that the people of Hull are too poor to afford such things. Probably crime scene tape.

 

[SLB]

Well that was fucking odd. Cheers Roy.

In the late 70's / early 80's there was a toilet roll shortage.

If you perfected your technique a football scarf allowed one continuous wipe

 

[Torrix1889]

What a set of fucking weirdos...

 

[Le Cynique]

Fucking hell. Their obsession with us is like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. I wonder if the fact that we couldn't care less about their shitty little club just winds them up even further?

Hasten to add, I know a few decent Hull fans - seems to be the online warriors who have an entirely one-sided beef with us.

 

[S64 Blade]

One of the best in a while. I’m now convinced this set of oddballs will be returning to Hell disappointed and perhaps even scarf-less.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

I got punched by a lad on Division Street once in the 80's. To this day I hate everybody on Division street.
Brain donors.

 

[Chief14]

Is it still the 80s in Hull?

 

[S64 Blade]

Just thinking and I remember my dad gave me a yellow and black scarf years ago (I think I’ve still got it), claiming it was an old Blades’ away scarf from the 70s. I’m now thinking it might be a Hull one.

[Torrix1889]

Is it still the 80s in Hull?

for many reasons....yes it is

 

[Houston_Blade]

Have you seen this scarf?!

4 cans of Kerk offered as reward if it's returned to its rightful owner.

 

[alcoblade]

Is it still the 80s in Hull?

Don't be daft.

It will be in 10 years time though.

 

[AverageBlade]

Strange bunch aren't they. Feel sorry for these small clubs who have to invent a 'local' rivalry to make football a bit more interesting
