Sorry to be pedantic but there isn't a RIVER Humber. It's an estuary not a river.


Just looked on google maps and it states River Humber where Reeds Island is, not saying your wrong but where does the estuary begin?

Debatable. Where the Trent and the Ouse flow in or where the tidal reach ends which is a bit further upstream?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

According to wiki the estuary starts where the Ouse and Trent meet.

To be a river it has to have a source. Usually a well that comes to the surface and flows to the sea. The Humber is formed by two rivers coming together and therefore doesn't have a source of its own and cannot be a river.

Hope that explains it.

It's a bit like the scene from only fools and horses were Rodney tries to get Trigger to stop calling him Dave.

"My name is not Dave it's  Rodney!"

"Why do they call you Dave then?"

You won't find many maps that have it as a river, only maps from Yorkshire.

The one in the Palace away stand is so low it restricts the view from the back few rows.


Had a read through all the reviews from different fans and neutrals on the Football Grounds Guide website and lots say similar about the away stand at Palace,  also old wooden seats, , , reminds me of Burnley that does and also support pillars in the way of your view, , , main standers will be used to that!

Maybe  maps that have been published in recent times,

BUT

Look at maps that are 50/60/70+ old and you will find  RIVER  HUMBER   printed.

Anyway how can you ask me not to call it a river after all these years, ?

Although I agree it is not a River.
