Talk:Hull F.C.

The Arthur 'Bolla' Francis page at stats.allblacks.com states "…then Hull with whom he won a Rugby League Cup Final Medal". However, the past-players page at hullfc.com has only two Francis', which are Alfred Francis, and Roy Francis. Neither Hull F.C., or Hull Kingston Rovers won the Challenge Cup in this era, but both clubs won the Rugby Football League Championship, Yorkshire League, and Yorkshire Cup in this era. Could it be that Arthur 'Bolla' Francis played for Hull Kingston Rovers? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 11:13, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

According to the main source used in this article, no one with the surname of Francis played for Hull K.R. between 1883 and 1983.^[1] I can not vouch for the book's complete authenticity, but I am not aware of a more comprehensive record of players between those years.

A player named F. W. Oliver won a cap for England in 1909 against Wales while at York, a player named F. W. Oliver played for Hull during the 1904–05 season are they the same person?

According to FreeBMD, the births of two people named F. W. Oliver were registered in the East Riding of Yorkshire, the county in which Hull resides, and the North Riding of Yorkshire, the county in which York resides, between 1874 and 1889, i.e. coinciding with a circa-1904…1914 playing career, they are; Frank William Oliver (birth registered during October→December 1875 in York district), and Frederick William Oliver (birth registered during October→December 1878 in Hull district), are either of these F. W. Oliver?

As an interesting aside, the botanist Francis Wall Oliver (F. W. Oliver) was educated, but not born, in York

A player named Jack Dawson played for Hull between 1932 and 1942, is this the same person as the Australian player Jack Dawson (Eastern Suburbs, and Balmain)?. Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Two editors have recently changed the date of establishment of the club from 1865 to 1999, the second one using the edit summary "The club name hull fc did not exist until 1999 after the merger of the clubs". I have reverted, as I think such a change needs a consensus (as per WP:BRD). I'd say the article is about the history of the club itself, not about the history of the name, but I can see it is debatable. And if the article about a club that came into existence in 1999, then the whole of the history prior to that would surely not belong here, would it? I invite discussion.

Please note that the club's own web site says it was established in 1865, so we'd need some pretty good sources to assert that it actually only came into existence in 1999. Mr Potto (talk) 14:36, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I believe that the user Dr RObutnik will be a Hull Kingston Rovers "fan", and school has finished for the summer today, so we can expect lots of helpful edits. Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 15:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Ah, I see, thanks! Mr Potto (talk) 15:40, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate the efforts put into the page, but it's a shame it's in such a state of disrepair. There are a lot of errors and in places, clearly not up to date. Whilst not having the skills to update it myself, I'd be happy to chip in if others are interested in updating and cleaning up this representation of our beloved Club.
