Salford I agree but we knew Hull KR was Easter Monday from the outset, and the kick off was announced over a month in advance. I think the club cop a lot of unfair flak at times.

We have a shared stadium and this far have managed to avoid been messed about too much, whilst you seem to have been unfairly moved etc a few times.

What is the difference?

The difference is probably that your stadium isn't built in a swamp, so you don't face the necessity of completely digging it up at least once a year.

We are the tenant. The football club is the landlord effectively.

Am I right in saying that the KC is council owned?

Yes it's council owned, we have had small problems in the past as the people who run the stadium have always been involved with Hull City, think that has changed recentley and we seem to have a better relationship with them now.

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a FOOTBALL STADIUM on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp.But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest FOOTBALL STADIUM in all of England."

Sadly, that joke was aired by many when the new location for what was then the JJB Stadium was first announced.

But you know Mr. Whelan ... he's always right.

Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Quarter-Final weekend is as follows:

Thursday 23rd June
Huddersfield Giants v Wakefield Wildcats 8pm

Friday 24th June
Warrington Wolves v Widnes Vikings 8pm

Saturday 25th June
Hull FC v Catalans Dragons 1.30pm

Saturday 25th June
Wigan Warriors v Castleford Tigers 5.30pm

Great news that the fixture is at the DW and we avoid the embarrassment of having to take the fixture elsewhere again.

It gives you that bit more confidence that both clubs are actually working hard to avoid potential issues.

I hate Sunday evening games.

Saturday evening.

Ooh, a Saturday game! Remember when sport used to be on Saturdays?

That's good for me (and most 'away' fans, I expect).

Oh yeah!

Agree moto, I quite like Saturday evening games too as long as they're not regular.

I too remember when sport used to be on a Saturday, the problem now is remembering short term, has Sam Tomkins announced yet when he is coming back from Australia?.
Saturday night Saints v Wigan 7th of May 1960 at Knowsley Rd 6-30 pm kick off in the Top 4 play off Saints 09-Wigan 19, LUT bus from Atherton then getting back and bursting through the doors of the pub shouting WIGAN HAVE WON and no body believed me.
The problem was I did not drink much in those days and I was sick walking home, like I have said no problem remembering things from the past.

That works for us big time
