I remember it being a god-awful place . We drew 2-2 with all of the goals coming in the last 5 minutes (or so it seemed!).
Away from football, a friend of mine was a student up there and got kidnapped by some locals. Was driven out of town, tied up and left in a barn somewhere. I think he said the farmer found him the next day, but he doesn't talk too much about it.
I was there for the 2-2,i remember i had a stinker of a cold,which got worse and required a few days off of work.As off_it says all the goals came in the last six mins,april fools day 1991
i was there for a game in the mid eighties , think we equalised at our end late on and it was a great loop..... also a bloke couldn't be bothered to got to the toilet and just pissed on the floor beside me on the terrace.... weirdo
Last time I was there a pub served the frothiest lager ever. The glass was still full of froth when the pint was finished and we all turned them upside down and it just stayed put. Oh and most of the locals had little moustaches, even some of the blokes.
Only went to Boothferry Park once, back in October 1980.
Massive crowd of 3,551 and Charlton fans were all in the 'home' end. If I remember correctly, the train pulled into the station early and there were turnstiles on the platform straight into that part of the ground.
The three things I look back fondly about that day was the train going through Goole and me turning to my mate asking if the people that lived there were called 'goolies' (I know - you had to be there!); singing 'the little mouse with boots on' during the game and the Hull keeper catching a cross at the start of the second half, landing and dropping the ball at the feet of Killer at the edge of the six yard box - TWO NIL.
OOh Ahh, was that the game when fans were running out of the fence gaps onto the pitch, looping then running back to the terrace?
I dont think it was me who would have slashed next to you!
Chunder, then probably!

no wasn't that game , the one you're thinking of was early nineties i think when you , me, pbs , cheeseroll and threadkiller?? left the pub at the station and jumped on a bus to the ground i think there might have been a slight altercation somewhere along the way but we were all a bitdrunk
Was at the Oct 1980 game. All I really remember about it really is the turnstyles on the train platform and loads of Hull giving us a lot of verbal and then a certain large Charlton chap walking right through the middle of them carrying a hot tea and they all moved to one side to let him through!
Went up on the train for the 1980 game. It seemed to take an age to get there but all of a sudden we were stopped at this little station platform, Boothferry Park Halt I think it was called, right beside the ground. As Al said above, you got off the train and the turnstiles were on the platform - and you were straight into the ground.
It was the 3rd Division, if I remember Hull were near the bottom of the League and really struggling, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet from the home end. We were top or thereabouts - and Mike Bailey was guiding us to promotion back to Division 2 at the first attempt.
I was there during the 85/6 promotion season, we had the grotty little supermarket end which was very narrow from memory, drove up to the game in the company Escort and stopped at a picnic sight by the humber bridge as one of my passengers wanted too take some pics and ran into another car full of Charlton fans doing the same thing.....I remember their fans coming around to have a go at the end of the match.....a quick Boo! had them running off to their Mummies. Not many of us their that day, perhaps 250 and it was a dingy ground, just remember Flash scoring towards the end, other than that it was completely unmemorable.

I was only 7 so cant say I remember much other than it took bloody ages to get there.
Which one's you?
nolly?
I just wrote "Did we? I don't remember the ground"
and then it twigged :-(
