Quite agree. Speaking about locally based fans, the time of kick off whilst not ideal should not be reason enough to miss the game.

I didn't start watching Hull FC until I was about 8 but remember plenty of Wednesday night games on school nights, so Sunday evening with no school shouldn't be a problem for kids tomorrow.

Same here a 5 year old next month would have been attending if 3pm KO, but traveling back to West Yorks would mean getting back around 9 - 9.15 which is too late. As an SPH I'll still be coming though.

I'm sure the True Fans will all be there.

What's the point taking a 4 year old anyway. Surely they're not interested in sitting still for 2 hours?

Don't be prickly



Locally based fans should be there, don't you agree?

Good job we don't play midweek games anymore.

I'm not being prickly, I just find it amusing that whenever a poster says they won't be attending a game, there's always someone ready to point out how they attended two days after they'd been shot in the face, or whatever.

I would never say that anyone [ishould[/i attend a game. There are all sorts of reasons that it might not be possible or convenient for someone to go.

Our son quite enjoys it. He can get a bit restless at times, but it's worth getting him indoctrinated nice and early, I reckon.

I agree. I took my three year old to his first game last season when he was barely three. He's now been three times and asks questions about whats going on and loves to listen to me telling him whats happening. Doesnt like me shouting though.

But in Hull & East Riding it is, so that covers 99% of all fans at the game

Now this is a little different to your first input into this. I would agree it's a bit late for fans with 5 year old kids that live in south Yorkshire who may have school tomorrow.

But would you agree that the vast majority who may attend will not be in that situation



There is no wonder they had to scrap the Floodlit trophy and the County cups

I would now I know that half term is a week later in Hull. I still reckon that it could have been a bit late for some fans based in Hull and the East Riding with younger children had that not been the case.

Yes, yes. The point I was making was that I wasn't aware of that when I made my initial post.

I don't quite understand why everyone thinks we'll walk this game

First and foremost I expect a win. But if improvements are been made I expect a comfortable win and an 80 minute performance. I don't want Hull to make an excellent start only for Hull to fall away in the second half making it a tight game. We need to instill a killer instinct where if we get 18 points in front we put teams to bed and become a bit of a (Stobart) juggernaught with a roll on. You see Leeds, Saints and Warrington do it and Hull if they are to be successful need to join this elite band of clubs.

All that considered Hull to win 36 14, first try Tom Briscoe MOM Richard Horne (because he can play his natural game with Seymour pulling the strings). I'm excited!

This could be a very tricky game . They have recruited well . It won`t be the walk in the park some think it will be!

I'm sure all the True Fans who are able to be there will be there. Some, like me,will have a perfectly valid reason why they can't be there but as I've already bought a season ticket I don't feel the need to justify my non-attendance to anyone (although I obviously have). I'll be there in spirit and will be recording the match so I can enjoy the sight of our boys stuffing the Broncos.

Because warrington hammered them last week, and we drew with warrington. hull logic

36-10 to Hull.

Just remember Bomber's logic: "The more you lose, the closer you are to a win"

I'm confident of a victory but Lunnon have never been easy meat for us
