We have apparently only sold 3,000 tickets so far, and as you lot know more than anyone a <10K crowd rattling around in a 25K crowd doesn't generate an atmosphere.

A clash that was potentially a clash between 2 of the best sides in the league, has now become a case of how many will Huddersfield score.

Let's not forget the ref is a Simpson (ie a homer)
Kc crowd will get some decisions out if him.

Think the hull fans are playing mind games, on paper yes we have the better squad but this is a cup game and anything can happen!
Really looking forward to the game.

Can't believe sharp is named in the squad- when he left the field he couldn't put his foot down -if he does play we need to be running at him from minute one!

Thats what every team does ,due to Agar undermining him.
Sharp will just run it back at you with advantage

Good luck to you Giants fans.
As you're saying, it's a cup game and anything could happen, but I feel this is a step too far for Hull. I'll be happy if we can put in a good performance and the youngsters step up. I'll be over the moon and do a little dance if we sneak the win.

Let's just hope for a good game and hopefully no more injuries for either side.

P.S. crossing the line this time would be a nice bonus!

Wow-who's going to miss out from that lot!!!

1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,11, 13 pick themselves

How do you choose between chan, ferguson, Bruno, doof, fooey, gilly, Lunt wardle?

All deserve a spot -all bring something to the table. Personally I'd leave fergi out but gilly experience, Bruno and chan defence, wardle has been busting tackles for fun, fooeys step and offload, lunt determination, doofs big hits....

Glad I'm not Nathan brown!!!

That is one healthy squad you have - only Keith Mason not there from your numbers 1-18 (is Mason injured or out of favour?). Can't remember the last time I saw that from a SL team at this stage of the season.
We're missing 6 of our 1-17, with question marks over a couple of those named in the squad. Hope we perform at our very best.

mase just back from an injury hes been struggling with all season i suspect Nathan just doesnt want him to overdo it.
When bob fairbank is back fit what the heck do you do?? Think it'll be tinkerman time again? Considering the bad luck we had with injuries last season its good to see.
NB did say fooey was struggling with a groin problem so could it be ferguson faiumu to miss out? bruno gives us more options in case of injury than ferguson being able to play wing, centre or second row in which case the squad would be

eden
george, wardle, cudjoe, mcgilvarry
grix, brough
crabtree, robinson, gilmour
chan, odonnell
brown

lunt, faalogo, patrick, lawrence

tasty!!!!!

i would also say Chan would be a certain pick too the way he's playing ...difficult choices to make for the coaching team... i guess looking at the respective squads if we lose tomorow we can only blame ourselves for not performing - or the ref

Leave Fergy out..the others are playing too well to be dropped. Fooey out too...give him time to recuperate fully.

Remember we started this season at the DW with 7/8 1st teamers out and did O.K. Looks promising now we're starting to get bodies back.

I didn't mean because he's a poor player I meant because he looked in a lot of pain when he came off the field and if he's struggling with injury he could be a weak link.

Sounds like Wade McKinnon has joined our injury list. Now missing nine players, eight of which would've made the squad at full strength.

Reece Lyne will therefore start at fullback and Ben Crooks (Lee's son) makes his debut.

This is looking more and more like a banana skin!

Game day!!!

Can't wait for this game.

Looking forward to this one, I don't know how many we're bringing (at least 3) but the last I saw they'd only sold 1700 tickets

I take it you mean hull had sold 1700 -last I heard hull had sold 2500? Loads will just turn up and pay on the gate from hull though-only need to get a ticket to reserve your seat.

We will be bringing 65 -Daz has counted

that is jpy to my ears.. we are playing the 2nd/3rd best team away from homr in the cup and it is called a banana skin!!!! how times have changed

66 now, my lads coming

corrected due to my bad spelling lol

69 now im coming with mine too, at this rate we may need a second taxi

71 now im coming with a friend

mini bus?

bloody hell folks calm down,they'll be having kittens in hull if anymore turn up ...oh and we got a coach full now plus 3 cars !

You're all more than welcome. In fact the more the merrier. Hope you all have a safe journey to Hull and a miserable one to Huddersfield.

Game on!!!
