Hull to be 2017 'City of Culture'

[Blue in Munich]

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

Midweek European & League/Carling/Capital one (delete as applicable) Cup games? Hasn't seemed quite so full in the past few years, maybe it's just my TV.

it was Derry last year. we have more history and culture than we care to remember. it hasn't done the city any harm.


I do think hull is a strange choice. will European visitors have even heard of hull. granted many have heard of Derry for all the wrong reasons down the years but those days are thankfully in the past.

I have been to both Hull and Grimsby recently, and to be honest there isn't a lot to choose between the two of them in the 'I really wouldn't like to live here' stakes!!

Gonna have to be Hull Tigers of Culture though won't it as Hull City is being rebranded to make it sexy and marketable.
