How is this a great escape when they survived comfortably in the end by 5 points, (6 points if you include goal difference), and there were two teams even closer to the relegation zone than Hull, and they also got out of the drop zone after 29 games out of 46?
Realistically they were safe after 44 games too as only a huge goal difference swing would have put them down! This was just a bog-standard boring escape, nothing 'great' about it.
@nicholashill8724 I take it you aren't a Hull City fan then. All Hull fans refer to this season as the great escape. The club almost went out of business in the first half of the season and where as far as 6 points adrift bottom of the table at the halfway stage.
@@tyler-jbrown Absolutely not, the video showed up in my feed and I was expecting to see something sensational, but instead it just has a heavy Hull-bias to it instead of it actually being a great escape in a general sense. Essentially it's a 'great escape' if fans of other clubs see it as such, since then the bias is eliminated.
@nicholashill8724 It's because I'm a Hull City fan pal, I make Hull related videos and documentaries, no bias intended. Simply a documentation of Hull's 1998/99 season.
The season is the closest Hull City went to being relegated to Non-League. Just an interesting topic imo. Granted yes there are examples of more miraculous escapes, but this was certainly an important one from our view as it likely saved the club from liquidation.
Awesome mini Doc! Brought back some memories!
I was there at Brentford..
What an upgrade is that
