I couldn't believe it either. All my mums family are from Hull or ULL as its known and I worked there for 5 years. Its got some lovely scenic housing estates, Bransholme and Orchard park are just beautiful :rofl:

Could have been funnier.
Leicester could have won! The only city where a nuclear attack would do a billion pounds' worth of improvements.

Find that hard to take coming from someone from Perth to be honest, every city has its bad points

Not had the pleasure of visiting the Scottish version but have been to the Oz version. Bit to hot in their summer but the rest of the year is glorious. Joondalup resort is a great place to play.

I thought Swansea would have been the best choice, well my choice at least. They can't even agree on what to call the football team

I live on the outskirts of Hull but work in the town so feel I should comment on this. Great for the city and hopefully might bring some much needed good publicity to the city for a change. However the issue is the people and it will never change.
I think they actually look for the towns/citys that need the most investment, the government wont do it so they give it a title and they get floods of requests in for events in that year...then its back to the u-bend after that.

Now, Now BIM. Liverpool has the best attendances for ballet,opera and such like outside of London in the UK. The difference then was Liverpool was CofC for the whole of Europe, whereas I think now they have 6 or something, so not as lofty an appeal. Good luck to Hull,I doubt it will be as big, but Liverpool's CofC was fantastic.

Sell out every week, even in the lean years, from what I can see.
