About
the FC Irregulars: |
|
Overview |
 The
Hull FC Irregulars were formed in 2003 as a
supporters team of professional rugby league club,
Hull FC. Other supporter’s teams had been formed,
but the Irregulars led the way and were the first
club to have a direct link with the respective
supported team. Working with the club at events and
in many other ways, the Hull FC Irregulars became
widely known in the city of Hull and the surrounding
area.
In 2008, the Irregulars were part of the formation
of the ‘Tag Merit League’ (TML) and, along with 9
other sides, competed for the title. In the debut
season of TML, the FC Irregulars finished in 3rd
place, beating Halifax in the 3rd/4th place play-off
in October, held at the Chris Moyles Stadium,
Featherstone with an impressive display.
Working with the community is an important part of
the Hull FC Irregulars set-up, and in May they took
part in a fund-raising match against the Great
Britain All-Stars to raise money for local charity
‘For the Kids’. The GB All-Stars are made up of
ex-players and included high profile stars Tommy
Martyn, Garry Schofield and Paul Newlove. Each
player that took part raised a minimum of £50, and,
combined with other donations, they helped to raise
over £1000.
In last years Carnegie Challenge Cup, Both Hull FC and
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats were drawn to face each
other in the semi-final, held at the Keepmoat
Stadium, Doncaster. Both fans teams sensed this as
an opportunity to promote the game of tag rugby, and
after the Rugby Football League were consulted, it
was agreed that a pre-match game would go ahead.
Both the Wakefield City Webcats and Hull FC
Irregulars played on the pitch at Keepmoat in an
introductory game to tag in front of other fans of
the two respective clubs.
In the off season of 2008/2009, the FC Irregulars
have been training at the impressive Village Hotel
Fitness Centre in Hessle, working on improving the physical and
mental strength, but also bonding as a team which
will improve the squad as a whole for the
forth-coming season.
Once again in 2009, the FC Irregulars will be taking
part in the TML looking to improve on the third
place they achieved last year, but they also plan to
have more community work to help the local area and
its citizens. |

Bringing Back the Classic Style |
Since the Irregulars
2009 kit was designed in the classic style, it was
felt that the logo should reflect this change. The
original logo, with the 3 coronets will still be
used, however we quite like the alternative logo. We
thank Hull City Council for their permission in the
use of the City's coronets.
