Best Rugby Memories

@Prodavaci on Twitter – “There’s been so many but for me it was the New Zealand Haka under the dimmed lights. Awesome.”

Andy on Facebook – “Gotta be the 2006 Bradford semi-final night. Amazing game, full house. The place was bouncing. First night of Hull fair too. That game will always be one of my top memories playing at home!”

Liam on Facebook – “27-26 against Saints what a game closest of margins bet nobody had fingertips after that one!”

@andrewcooper1994 on Instagram – “My first game I went to 2004 we beat Salford 82-6.”

Connor on Facebook – “Can’t quite remember when it was, was only young, but went to see Hull FC v Harlequins, still going to this day proud season pass holder until we lose!”

Best Football Memories

@pjohnners on Twitter “Some memorable goals/performances. But for me after 42 years of watching mediocrity, travelling thousands of miles, all the struggle, all the hope, it has to be our first goal in the bigtime the PL opener from Geovanni. Never ever stop dreaming, they can come true”

@Berraby7 on Twitter – “3-1 win against Liverpool. Atmosphere was well and truly special that day, one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from City as well.”

@Darrylwilcox3 on Twitter – “Without a doubt for me, the evening Watford play-off game to reach Wembley. It was just an absolutely brilliant night.”

@Rfreelance on Twitter – “Boxing day 2002 .Walking into the east stand for that first league match at the KC, What a beautiful moment that was.”

Peter on Facebook – “I can remember the first time walking into the stadium 20 years ago and thinking WOW, it was a world away from what was used to at Boothferry Park. As for matches since the one that sticks out in terms of atmosphere was beating Watford in the play off semi-final in 2008.”

Best Musical Memories

Mike on Facebook – “Gigs by Bryan Adams, REM, Rod Stewart, The Who, ELO and Neil Diamond.”

@mikeward1701 on Instagram – “Elton John concert. First and best concert at the KC Stadium!”

Stephen on Facebook – “Went to see Elton John not long after it opened!”

Catherine on Facebook – “My greatest memory is seeing sir Elton John there. Absolutely brilliant.”
