It's not often that football is consistently able to rival rugby in the city of Hull.
But this season, the English city's local club Hull City has been performing well above average, ensuring Premier League survival and reaching Saturday's FA Cup final against Arsenal.
We were joined by Colin Young of the Daily Mail who covered the Hull beat between 1993 and 1996.
"When I arrived, they were in League One, in effect the third division and they actually got relegated in my final season. At that time, the main stories I was writing were the club fighting for survival. There were constant winding up orders, court cases, inland revenue...it really was hand to mouth," said Young, who recalled a funny story about former striker Dean Windass' enforced move to Scotland.
He charted the rise of the Tigers from those depths to a new stadium and eventual promotion to the Premier League along the way, becoming "unrecognizable" in the process.
And this season, the club has had its most successful season by getting to the brink of FA Cup glory.
But one blemish on their season has been the owner's insistence that he wanted a name amendment, pushing for a change from Hull City AFC to Hull City Tigers, even though it seems his ambitions have been foiled.
Young also touched on the prospect of Ireland winger Robbie Brady playing for Hull at the weekend and how manager Steve Bruce understands the fans.
