Hull City , Boothferry Park , The Tigers ?

 

[Ready]

:clap

Derby man but always keep an ear out for Hull's result,being Tigers...Both in 'the Championship (Div 1) starting next w/end . Ideal if both could be promoted 9-10 months time but the Rams have imploded in the offseason (very RFC like...) & reckon they'll do well to avoid the drop....Anyway,enough waffle...

What is unique about the Balmain Tigers CLUB (all grades) performance in 1915-16 ?

 

[Tigerclan]

Hull up North !!

You'll have an army of Geordies upon us with blasphemy like that

I was going to say Huddersfield, but they only renovated one stand in 1955

Well done Marella :clap :clap

 

[Tigerclan]

Undefeated

All 3 grades

Well done Marella  :clap :clap

Would you agre that Wolves looked more like the Tigers (yellow & black) than Hull's guernsey ever did?

 

[Tigerclan]

I was born in Birmingham so have a soft spot for the Wanderers

Hull looks more orange than Wolves and the RFC

Near enough. Actually,no club (NSWRL & now NRL) before or since have been premiers in all 3 grades in successive seasons....

 Agree Wolverhampton's 'Old Gold' & Black better be-fitting of Tigers but....

Ok,quizmaster TC....  

 

[Ready]

With most of those clubs round there -- Birmingham, Villa, West Brom and Wolves -- having a soft spot means you like seeing the other three steamrolled  ;D

Being descended from sound Chiswick and Hounslow stock I feel it quite appropriate to refer to Hull as "up north".

Oh, and Hull's kit is referred to as being "amber".

 

[Tigerclan]

Yeah , anywhere above Watford is North to you southerners :hihi

 

[Ready]

;D

If you're looking for yellow and black in the UK then I guess you're looking for Dumbarton or East Fife.

NO,NO,NO,NO NOT THE SCOTS, NOT THE SCOTS. :hihi :hihi

 

[Tigerclan]

Sorry guys got caught up with the up North banter and didn't see Marella's reply

Which were the first two horses to win the Melbourne Cup as 100-1 outsiders?

 

[sucker4richond]

The Pearl 100/1 (1871)
Wotan 100/1 (1936)

 

[Tigerclan]

Yep, 40 000 ppl at the first race 110 000 at the second

Melb Cup certainly had grown

 

[sucker4richond]

why was basketball invented by its inventor?

 

[Tigerclan]

Indoor game at YMCA in harsh winters?

 

[sucker4richond]

not quite
