Hopefully so, and with the events of the past 48 hours I believe it will be the case.


The city needs those 20,000 crowds again. Actually this was achieved for that Easter Thursday 2015 game, which had some great ticket offers (went in Upper West for the first time for a derby; amazing view and decent enough atmosphere).
It's a shame both clubs can't fill it without offers like was achieved in '07 twice, but maybe in the financially difficult times the city's still in its not a shock.
Do people think Hull City's Premier League status has an adverse effect on RL attendances? I think their promotion certainly saved face for them; in the Championship this season it'd have been a lot of sub-15,000 crowds I believe with all the turmoil.

The club mascot for the occassion is Sharknado the Thundershark.

I'm sure in 2000 that was the badge we used to celebrate the Millennium. Chuff knows where they've dug it up from though because I've just tried to find it on Google and found nothing!

I actually thought someone at SKY was having a merger dig or something, hell of a hack by a Rovers fan (any idiot with a few quid can hire a plane

) but had a look on google its on the front cover of Boulevard voices by Raymond Fletcher. As you say god knows where SKY have got it from or why they used it.

That's the one, knew I hadn't dreamt it!!
Seriously though, why are Sky using this one??!!
