Just had a look at the handicap for Sunday and we are only getting 8 points on the handicap.
I think that we will go ok but, I dont think we will win this one.

I think we'll have a decent season. However experience tells me we'll have a bum start as is always the way at Trinity whenever we get positive. That said we started 1015 like a house on fire and look what happened there.

Basically we get lucky and Finn nails a penalty to win us the game

I missed the whole of that season whilst defending the East Coast from the Danes led by Canute.

Oh wow. What a small world. I was defending at Bamborough that year. Bet we bumped into each other and didn't even know.

I got time off for a game though. Stanley Gene was awesome against us, but we won with the last kick of the game. Some kid called Finn from the Celtic clans. He was good but a bit slow.

Trinity by 10 and a great start to the new season

SkyBet have us at 6 points start

Think Hull will bring a good following possibly 3000 so would expect 5650 crowd. Hoping all the work done on defense and fitness in the pre season has paid off so I am hoping for a low scoring, nerve jangling, hard fought match. 12 all with 30 seconds left and Anakin to crash over for the winning score having played one of the greatest games seen at BV.

And I was warming up for Hastings

Are you for real? we haven't been outnumbered at home for years, and for the first game of the season I would expect
at least 5,000 Trinity supporters. Hull will prob bring around 2,000 so we should be looking at 7k at the very least.

Announced on Twitter that FC sold out their initial allocation of tickets and they requested more. Not sure how many they were initially given - does anyone know?

We looked outnumbered against Cas in the pre season game.

Don't know the total number, but Hull had another 300 tickets this morning and ordered 500 more this afternoon.

If you wanna get in - get a ticket!

They will at least equal our numbers! Good day at the tills!

Fc were sent 2200 tickets. All sold out more sent today, sold out by teatime, more to be sent

Balderdash.

The only teams recently that haven't matched or bettered our home support are Widnes, Salford, Hudds and Cats.

Think he needs to get picked first before that particular Belly fantasy transpires.

Looking forward to it.
Hull FC are a proper RL club, always well supported and on the back of last years success and first game of the new season, there were always going to be plenty making the trip over here.
Let's hope for a decent day, bit of sunshine and a Trinity win

(I might be struggling with the last one)

Balderdash right back at you, I'd suggest Leeds didn't manage it nor did Saints or Wigan or Warrington or HKR or Hull in fact almost anyone really.

I might give you the Cas game at a pinch but try to retain some grip on reality please.

Whilst I think we're going to have a reasonable season this year, I still think we'll get one or two usual wallopings. Trinity to probably lose to Hull FC but not by more than ten points I reckon. UP THE TRIN!!

I remember travelling over to the Boulevard for the opening game of the season and captained by Mike Kuiti where we were slaughtered.

Any pre-season optimism had evaporated by half time.

So talk of 8 points either way is an improvement

we need 20 head start

You'll be lumping on Hull to clear the handicap then ?

You never know how that first game will go I would sooner Trin play them now than later in the season that's providing the players are up for it mind.

Big Lads Mate - Hastings what a day that one turned out to be lost again and one in the Eye for our Captain

You've got to say we threw it away. Too many running out the defensive line when all we had to do was stick to the basics.
