Unfortunately I don't have Mr Smith's ear. Actually if I am honest, I don't have Mrs Winslade's ear either. Anyway, good luck in the derby, we are all hoping that Hull give it 120% so that you are exhausted for Monday.

Its on the club website that Monday saw record one day sales of 1,500 (between both clubs) and seating is almost sold out. There is limited availability on the terraces.

Update on Facebook that there are only 150 tickets available for the South Stand - no more online purchases, just over the phone or at the shop.

It's great for the club and all that but I honestly hate the South stand being sold out.

You're like a sardine with no room to lift your arms up to clap, constantly having to move so people can go for a beer or to pee, once a year folk in there unable to handle their ale etc etc.

wow, thats pretty good, looks like ticket sales were good before this weekends results.

Be great if the West Stand is full too.

I know what you mean.

As bad as the crowds were last season, it was quite nice getting there 10 minutes before the game started go straight to the front of the queue for a beer and still find a decent spec! This season, we have struggled to get our 'normal' spot, despite getting there 20 mins before kick off....

Its what we need though, we have only really troubled the new capacity once or twice since we built it, would be good for a similar crowd vs Saints, but they may not travel well this year.

Agreed. I took it for granted last year! Talking about getting in the ground for 2pm just to get our regular spot.

I would say that since we have moved to the HJ ,Saints are the one team to regularly pack that away end no matter what form their team are in and I do include Wigan,Leeds and Widnes in this..

Because for many of them it's effectively a 'home' game and it seems that all too often they get to enjoy the sort of last minute pandemonium that we experienced at Salford the other week.
