Hull City Football Club

We were founded on 28 June 1904. For some years prior to this attempts were made to found a football (soccer) club, but in a city dominated initially by rugby league with the likes of Hull FC and Hull KR this proved difficult.The first season for Hull City consisted of friendly matches; because of the time of founding, City were unable to apply for membership to The Football League for the 1904-05 season. The early matches were played at The Boulevard, home of rugby league side Hull FC. On 1 September 1904, City's debut match took place against Notts County; with 6000 in attendance at the Boulevard, City notched up an impressive start holding the more experienced County to a 2-2 draw.Hull's first taste of competitive football came in the FA Cup, but they were eliminated, after a replay, in the preliminary round against Stockton, the score was 7-4 on aggregate. After uneasy relationships with landlords, Hull City moved to Anlaby Road Cricket Ground.UP THE TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
