Not according to Lee Radford.

Now to me that reads as if he thinks that Hull have suffered at the end of the season because they have been fortunate to have a fit team all season!

I've had a few hangovers I'm my lifetime. I've got over them in 2 days. I've said this about Hull various times this season. I also said we would beat them and that they would not win another game.

The clubs around them have stepped up as play off rugby intensified....Hull didn't regardless of the other comment Lee Radford made saying FC are better at knockout rugby....!?

Train into town for us, plenty of great eating and drinking to be had.

We may be hitting the 16.8% Shipwrecks in Brewdog.

The railway club on the A56 ,Chester Road is very good for pre match drinking. Cheap drinks & about 400 yards from ground.

Which part of town are you thinking of where does your train come in Deansgate/Oxford Road/ Piccadilly or Victoria? The Printworks and Corn Exchange mentioned earlier are good shouts but best from Victoria.

If you are central and fancy a traditional pub one of my fave's is Sam's Chop House try the Corned Beef Hash or Steak Pudding it's 'sister' pub Toms Chop House is on Cross St and if it's fine they have outdoor seating at the rear off St Ann's Square.

Piccadilly is handy for the top end of the Northern Quarter some great bars with craft beers never eaten over there pub wise but there'll be plenty of choice including a few great 'Indians' a rice plus three (curries) £5/£6 Al Faisal, This and That, Yagdar, highly recommended by hungry Horace Uncle Rico worth a google or PM for directions

Have a great day

Thanks UR (and everyone else) we have booked a table at Mr Thomas's Chop House.

I like it in there. If you get the steak pudding, chips and mushy peas make sure you take the top off the pudding and pour the gravy onto the steak as there's no gravy in the pudding. After that just enjoy it, it's a really nice meal

Yeah some nice eateries in the NQ. Pie & Ale and its sister restaurant the Bakerie have some nice meals, Koffee Pot does a nice breakfast but will be busy on a Saturday, El Capo does an amazing chilli! SoLita has some splendid burgers!

Might be useful for someone;

Still train tickets available from Warrington Central to Deansgate for £3

No problem FB have a great day and as Psychedelic Casual states if you go for the steak pud knock it's head off. If you've time Sam's is a 100yds away and Corbierres is round the corner for après pre Thomas's beers

I am going to Pieminister just because I like the name.

Never been but great reviews might be busy with our 'mates'?

You'll probably be severely outnumbered.

32 of us over 2 minibuses, going the Quadrant behind the cricket ground. About 15 mins walk from ground. Went there 2012, was decent.

My nerves are shot already

Anyone getting the train....I would recommended looking at train times from bank Quay. ...centrAl is an absolute joke gf day.

Or Sankey. A few drinks in Altrincham, or Eccles, before getting the tram are both good options if you live in the east or south of the town.
Edit: trains are also frequent from Newton and if you live Culcheth way, the guided bus is brill.

I got a coach from the Rodney last time. Was glad I did after seeing the queues outside Central Station.

Anyone know of any coaches leaving from there this year?

Solitas is one place I'd highly recommend

Tickets sales looking extremely good.

Hull have had plenty of injuries also you dick!
Not as many as some granted but false position = sour grapes

ok ill bite

who finished higher and in the grand final? why would it be sour grapes?

A) Ok let's stick nearer to the facts, FC have virtually fielded the same team bar Abdul throughout the season.
B) They finished 3rd behind two teams rife with injuries, and a point or so clear of Saints who at one point was looking at relegation...top spot was pretty much false otherwise FC would have ended the season there when the teams around them were so disadvantaged.
C) I'll tell you something for nothing, Hull will find it very difficult to make the top 6 next year with further disruption to teams.

tommy why so aggressive?

You've had a great season take it easy, better than you could have probably hoped for, enjoy your off season

Gutted to miss it in Ireland and the flights to come back have sold out. Really hope we can do it.

For anyone going deansgate is decent for a nice pint and bite to eat for any real ale drinkers like me The Bank in the town centre by St Peters Square was very good I found last time I was there and did food
