📜 Relive the match

On Tuesday 29 August 1989, Hull City travelled to face Grimsby Town at Blundell Park, Grimsby in the Littlewoods Cup First Round (Second Leg) (1989-90 season). This is the original matchday programme produced for that fixture — printed once, on the day, then taken home and kept by a supporter who was there.

Whether you were at the ground that day, were born in 1989, grew up listening to your dad or grandad talk about this team, or simply want to hold a tangible piece of the club's story — this programme has waited 37 years for the right home.
