I can only imagine their inexplicable dislike for us is due to two events...

1. The game in 1971 where they kicked us off the park and beat us 2-1 (perhaps they didn't like the media portayal in the aftermath and blamed us?)
2. The 1984 promotion where they needed to beat Burnley 3-0 and only won 2-0 to ensure we were promoted. Maybe they took offence to the amount of Blades supporting Burnley that evening?
 
Even King Keith Edwards prefers us to them!

These 2 events and the blades constantly taking over their town centre in the 80 s
 
This is the big one, guys. It's HULL! The game we've all been looking forward to all season!*

…for some of the older ones, the unpleasant memories of the late 70’s Second Division fixtures might still rankle.

Naughty Blades fans running across the pitch causing Hull fans in the South Stand to clamber up from the terracing to the seated area behind, might be a factor in United not being especially popular…

Big rivalry in the early 1980s. We were promotion rivals twice in 3 years. Plus 1971 was fresh in the memory.

Sort of forgotten about a bit now as time passed. See also our rivalry with Ipswich (and Taricco) between 1995 and 1999.

Re 1971, before my time but they were definitely the aggressors and it was premeditated. Discussed the game once with Terry Neill, who was player manager of Hull, and he was quite open about their tactics.
 

“Not sure how somebody can truly support two teams, especially two in the same division who compete against each other. “

For those of you with long memries, there has been seasons when we have been playing in the same division as Sheffield Wednesday. I have fully and truly supported every team they have played against.
 
“They’re unbeaten at their festering pile of pig dung since October. We don’t seem to do draws so another defeat it is.”

Another very confused fan who watched the Rotherham game and got the Sheffield teams mixed up. If he paid any attention he'd know that at Bramall Lane the sprinklers are always switched on during half-time. I hope Hull's manager is similarly confused and sets his team up to play on a semi-ploughed mud-heap.

That game will always be etched into my memory. "Dirty Derby" was a much repeated catch-phrase that County had much deserved and endeavoured to live up to for many years, but Hull City seemed hell-bent on putting that one to bed that night and creating a hard-ball reputation all their own.
 
“33 quid for a ticket
Robbing piggie bastards.”

Ha, this lad evidently thinks they’re playing Wednesday 🐷

But nevertheless his comments are a bit rich coming from a supporter of a club that was charging every category of away supporter £40 per ticket four seasons ago.

That coming from a team that play on a ground shared with egg chasers in the middle of feckin nowhere.
 
I like Hull, the city not the football club.

My son has been living there for the last 7 or 8 years and I've got to know it quite well.

The old town has some great pubs, the marina and the fruit market have a great vibe, there are some really decent restaurants and the prices are reasonable too.

Add in a regular train service to Brid and Scarborough and it has a lot going for it.

Still glad I don't live there, but it's great to visit.

1971 was the year I was born but I've read enough about what went on. In the period 1981-83 we seemed to play them all the time, 2 league games in 81-82, 2 legs of the League Cup and 2 games in the FA Cup 1st Round in 82-83.
 

Places that are stuck out on a limb throughout England are full of very strange people. Esoteric, some would call them, but I'm not so intellectual so I just consider them to have a higher than usual percentage of complete knobs.

This latest episode of TPMVF closes the case for the prosecution.
