Homely Hull

Advantages: Very friendly city. Well planned
Disadvantages: Rather isolated

...exploring. The dining out scene in Hull is good and prices relatively low compared with cities such as London,Leeds or Manchester. Rugby League has a big following in this Northern City and Hull City,the local soccer team,struggles as a result.The cultural scene is quite vibrant and Hull has produced a number of good writers. Hull is a good base for day tours to York and the attractive Yorkshire coastal resorts. Still the best reason of all for visiting Kingston-upon-Hull,to give it its official title,is to meet up with its warm and very friendly people.When you have to leave Hull,you really miss them.! They are the "salt of the earth" "...

Visit the award winning Deep in Hull.

Advantages: Lots of different areas and displays. Informative
Disadvantages: Car parking fee

...The Deep opened in March 2002 amid a blaze of publicity and since then it has welcomed more than 3 million visitors and has won many awards as a visitor attraction. It is also an internationally important research facility and has become a symbol for the city of Hull. The Deep is one of the deepest aquariums in the world, and for the city of Hull it has changed the skyline of the city. It has a lovely mix of aquaria, interactions for not only children but adults too, film footage and live demonstrations. As you walk through the Deep, you will notice that it takes you through the journey of the solar system and how they began and what this meant for the sea. It looks at colourful tropical reefs, the Antarctic, sandy seashores and the deep ocean trenches. It is a registered charity and is dedicated to conservation and education. I...

THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN THE HULL AREA?

Advantages: Clean and comfortable. Good Value For Money.
Disadvantages: Long Wet Walk From Check In to Lodge. View From Front Rooms

...WHY DID WE BOOK THE INNKEEPER'S LODGE - HULL? In this instance it was a purely business decision. The previous night we had stayed in the Innkeeper's Lodge at Chester (North East), the Hull Lodge was ideally situated for my business appointment at Brough. From previous experience we have found accommodation in Hull problematic, it is not a city exactly overflowing with a good choice of hotels and Bed and Breakfasts. We now use Innkeeper's Lodge's regularly in our travels and know that we can rely on the quality of the room and that the service offered is of a more than acceptable standard when compared to other lodge type hotels. HOTEL DESCRIPTION / OUR PERCEPTION FROM HOTEL PUBLICITY As with all of the Innkeeper's Lodges in which we have stayed, the Hull one is very well, and honestly, described, both in the new (2007...

Why should Football Clubs be special?

Advantages: tighter controls on clubs
Disadvantages: some clubs may go bankrupt

...In short yes. In this day and age of global football brands and huge television contracts football is a business. In any other business if you spend more than you have then adverse consequences happen. Be it a requirement to cut back on expenditure or to fold and go into administration. Business is about discipline and football is no exception. As a supporter of Crystal Palace FC, I've been through administration with a football club and it's not particularly pleasant. Going to a match and not knowing if it'll be the last one your club ever plays is a strange feeling. But then we paid the price for over extending ourselves. Through our then esteemed Chairman Mark Goldberg he instigated his so called 5 year plan which would see us competing as one of the biggest clubs in the country and in European competition year in year out. It...

Review of Should football clubs be allowed to go into administration?

Football shirts in general!

Advantages: Last years kit but only £10!
Disadvantages: Not the newest kit!

...Football kits are something every fan wants but not all fans can afford. At the moment the new home and away kits for most premiership clubs are going to set you back near to £40! This is an insane amount as we all know. However year after year we continue to pay it! WHY Im not sure why we feel the need to have the "New" kit every season. Im not sure why clubs insist on updating their kits most season. The differences are often minimal! I guess its just a way of supporting your kit. Wearing a new kit says to others "Yeah! I love City!". I suppose this is a case of each to their own. I however never buy the new kit. At the start of each season I get myself on Ebay and buy the kit from last year. I have recently bought Manchester City's away kit. I did the same thing with the away kit from the season before which just happens...

Roar of the Tigers

Advantages: Good squad with talent in all areas. Money, which they have spent wisely. Good loyal fans and a friendly club atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Money is not a guarantee for success. Players may not gel as a team quickly.

...for a new ground will begin later this year, at a cost of £45 million. The new stadium will hold 25,000 people and will be shared between Hull football and rugby clubs. Ambitions and hope are high for Hull, and they start as many people's favourites to win the third division this year. A (Brief) History Hull City were formed in 1904, but failed in their first attempt to be elected to the football league and had to wait until the 1905/06 season before joining. They played their first games as friendly games against other local northern clubs in 1904. Hull come from a very rugby orientated background, and there was some debate at the time if a soccer club could survive in the city. Hull’s first ground was Boulevard, and was shared with a local rugby club, until after the Second World War when Hull moved into their current ground...

Review of Hull City

Hear the roar of the mighty tigers

Advantages: Quality team, great fans and crowds
Disadvantages: Division 3 :(

...'ve also got a chance at promotion this season. Ok, division 2 mightn't be anything special to some of you but to us it is!! We're playing 5th in the league at the moment and will hopefully get into top 3. At the moment we've got a hold on some highly rated players. Including Jamaican internationals Theodore Whitmore and Ian Goodison. They've recently decided not to sign new contracts though and sadly we'll be saying goodbye soon. As players, I don't rate them highest, but Goodison has good form and it will be a blow to the club when he leaves. My top 5 players: -Lawrie Dudfield -Gary Alexander -Ryan Williams -Paul Musslewhite -Michael Edwards Lawrie Dudfield *************** At only 21, Lawrie is Hull's record signing. He was signed from Leicester City in June 2001 for £210,000, personally, I think he was worth every penny. As...

Where dreams are made....and broken....Hull IVF Unit

Advantages: Wonderful, compassionate staff. Slightly above average success rates.
Disadvantages: Location. Lack of car parking.

...Having been through infertility, & subsequently IVF myself, I have read many other accounts relating to the journey of achieving something that most couples take for granted, but what at times can seem like the impossible ? a baby. I have gained so much insight from other people & have drawn strength from their stories, so I thought I would share mine & hopefully pass on some hope to other couples in similar situations. There are many IVF reviews on here, so I thought I would try & cover the hospital at which I myself received treatment (the Hull IVF unit). Since treatment can vary from hospital to hospital, I hope this will be of use to couples planning treatment here. Firstly, a bit of background information to set the scene? We began TTC (trying to conceive) back in September 2005. Although current guidelines state that...

Hull, one hell of a place?!

Advantages: An undiscovered city worth discovering.
Disadvantages: A little off the beaten track.

...of it. Well then you are getting close to the scale of this visitors attraction. Not just a fish tank though, The Deep is a massive educational and conservaion centre, and one of Hull's most recent and proudest additions. Then there's the new KC Stadium. In the west of the city the stadium houses both the local football team (Hull City) and one of the two local rugby teams (Hull FC). Here they aloso hold many large scale gigs and concerts. From elton John, Westlife, Bryan Adams and many more have graced the stage of the stadium, with many more planning to play there. In beautiful park-land the stadium has fast becoem the one of the jewels in the crown of the city. Hull has many parks. The one already mentioned attached to the stadium (West Park) has all the facilities expected in any city park. (Childrens play areas, large expanses...
