The Boulevard - A special place

This is the last match at the Boulevard - Hull v New Zealand 22nd October 2002

Johnny Whiteley, Paul King and all of the other guests said that the Boulevard is a special place and they will always have good memories about it. They say that it is like moving home – The Boulevard was their home.

The children all had opinions about whether it was progress or not!
Kaidon says yes – because all the things are have improved
Tori says yes – because the changing rooms are much cleaner and more space.
Kieran says yes – because there are a lot more seats.
Jimmy says yes – because I did not like the smells and all the pans were left out in the kitchen.
Andrew says no – because the Boulevard was home to the players and fans.

The class all think that the facilities are better but they like the old Boulevard and will always remember what it is.
