It's nice to see that Hull City AFC's supporters have taken our 2017 City of Culture status to their hearts, writes Hull Daily Mail columnist Ian Midgley. After the ingenious chant of "Come for the culture, you've only come for the culture" to some bemused Crystal Palace fans the other week, the even better "City of culture, we know what we are," at Swansea on Monday was top notch.
Way to rub it in. I know the mirth-tinged chant to the Palace faithful managed to make it way around the corridors of power down south too. I talked to Sir Peter Bazalgette, chairman of the Arts Council and inventor of Deal Or No Deal no less, this week and even he had heard of it and found it highly amusing. Now, if we can only engineer a way to play both Dundee and Leicester in the next four years, our gloating tour of the UK will be complete.
