• Hull has two rugby league teams. There both rivals. Hull F.C. are from west hull and Hull Kingston Rovers the east of hull. Seperated by the river Hull. Also a great football team Hull City Football Club. Wallowing in the third division but should be in the premiership by now. The Kingston Communications Stadium has a capacity of 25,000 and is the ultimate sporting stadium. Puts old trafford to shame!!!! That stadium is the home of Hull City And Hull F.C. Craven park is the home of Hull Kingston Rovers, the Hull Vikings speedway team and a regular greyhound track. Hull is a major rugby league city with great players such as Clive Sullivan. Only in Hull would they name a road after a grat sportsman! Thats about it so all there is to say now is get yourself up Hull and down road. HULL the PRIDE of YORKSHIRE!!!!
• KC Stadium for beloved Tigers...come on!
• Hull FC one of the local Rugby League clubs that sold its soul to the highest bidder in 1999 and merged with a club from 200 miles away in Gateshead.Tradition down the drain and a crowd of 4000 which claims its double that every other week and they were all born on Hessle Road.Probably by the same Fishwife mother.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
