Rugby League city, like Leeds, they are not proper football places.It's pathetic for a City as big as Hull. Free travel and tickets in East stand cheaper than we are buying them for.

How much are we charging them?When you go to a midweek game its not like you have time to wander around the area normally taking in the local scenary and culture. The Boro is easy to get to for a midweek game from Hull, probably easier than a Saturday 3pm this time of the year. Free travel too. 800 to 900 fans is poor. The Riverside Stadium is a good night venue. This season has been a reasonable season for Hull - two good away draws recently at Sunderland and Blackburn.
Ditto my friend!Shows the complete ignorance of people which is pretty common. I'm not from Middlesbrough I would defend it to anyone. It's better than most similar towns in a lot of ways and the football club is an absolute beacon and compared to a lot of other clubs a real gem for the town.
It also shows that people just form opinions without really knowing anything. They read or listen and that forms what they think on pretty much anything.Shows the complete ignorance of people which is pretty common. I'm not from Middlesbrough I would defend it to anyone.

Exactly. I was in Nottingham recently. That is a city and area with some clear issues. There’s no heavy industry of course, which has been an easy target used against Teesside over the years.I’ve lived and worked in plenty of places all around the U.K., Teesside is no better or worse than any of them, good and bad sides to every town and city.
They have nothing to play for, it’s midweek and on sky, and it’s probably the most they will pay for tickets all seasonVery poor numbers from Hull, especially with free travel! They have never brought any great followings up here for years , even tho we nearly always sellout the full allocation at there place
The walk from the station is a great deal better than it used to be, before the construction of the uni and the walkways (though these need some attention). The difference is exempt by the dodgy looking ‘Bridge’ pub becoming Inn Off The Bar, which is a great deal more salubrious.To be fair to away fans, the location of the ground doesn't help, neither does the walk to it from the railway station, and the town centre is pretty dismal unless you know what you're looking for.
Last time I looked Old Trafford was in an industrial estate with chemical works quite nearby.To be fair to away fans, the location of the ground doesn't help, neither does the walk to it from the railway station, and the town centre is pretty dismal unless you know what you're looking for.
I agree. Which is why it was so refreshing to have the Blackpool fans' report on our townMiddlesbrough has a terrible reputation nationally, often undeserved, but it does.
Outside of football, it's largely only ever been in the national news for negative reasons in my lifetime.
It's always quite depressing reading opposition match threads and just seeing the town and area being slagged off.
The fifteen minute walk from the station is less than most away grounds.
More of an issue might be the availablity of trains home midweek .
it’s not that bad,sheff utd 26,000 just when promotion is confirmed. We’d be getting atleast that or more if we still had a chanceBit disappointed with the turn out given the quality of football we are playing, but we are FLYING…bring on the playoffs
