Gollom on blunderside just said KR's game on Saturday is more important than ours!!

It is to him

What Jake said. Gollum is just showing his true (red and white) colours.

Hi George, I've sent you a PM.

I genuinely cannot believe any reason why anyone of the 30k wouldn't want to attend this match (circumstances notwithstanding). SHould be easy to get 20k.. I reckon however with a good turnout from wire, we will be pushing 15k as a max. Hope I am wrong

Doubt we'll see many wire fans if the mood on their message board is indicative of their fanbase. They seem to have given up so let's hope their team has too. 12k Friday

I went to Wembley,but am unable to attend Fri due to a trivial thing called work...you know the one that pays the bills and that.I had my work hours changed during the season and that cocked me right up and before you say book a days holiday I can't as I have set holidays

If you are in pattaya I can give you the name of a bar that will put the match on for you.

You seem a little touchy.

Don't mean to be funny but did you not see the bit in bold on 'hull smallears' post as I would say work, financial constraints etc would be something that they understand hence the 'circumstances not withstanding' in the post and its more a case of if any of the 30K that went to Wembley and are not doing anything on Friday they are on about.

Irish Rover (my old local) with have it on, Shane to miss the match, but think id rather be back in Thailand.

Spot on exactly what I meant. Clearly some people will have commitments that prevent attendance, but I would have hoped that we would be able to muster a good turnout for what is a massive massive match.

I've bought three extra tickets for family members who wanted to go. Know of at least 2 other non-regular attendees who are going and sitting with us, one of whom is a Rovers fan, poor lad.

Couldn't miss this one!

I'm wary of the club bigging up the crowd though. They said "best crowd outside the derby" for the Pies game and there was less than 12K there, so it wasn't. I'm all for them selling the game, but this game shouldn't need it. If you're an FC fan and you can go, get yourself there and support the team. Watching on Sky (not just for the annoying E & S and Clarky) is not an option

Imo,the LLS should have been awarded after 23 games when we played ALL the teams and not at the end of the super 8s as all its done is prove 1 team is better in the 8s....Wigan could have beaten Widbes and be in with a chance as well but they haven't been good in the weekly rounds.

Just bought my tickets in E5. Good job I only need one ticket as it's just single seats! Couldn't get any where near where my family sit and there are usually lots of seats dotted around them.

Just ordered a singular RESERVED East Stand Ticket for a family member - was informed UNRESERVED East Stand Sold Out - The guy on the end of the phone said ticket sales were going really well, and that we should have the best gate of the season - including the Derby!!! Warrington offering free travel fro their supporters, so they should bring more than their normal support.
We need to be there to back the boys!!! Lets get some circulars into the schools and local RL Clubs, cut price Junior tickets, accompanied by an adult etc..... to get the stadium buzzing
Cannot wait COYH..........................

Bored to death of reading this time after time from various people.

If points were reset to zero after R23 you'd have a point, but they're not. We're still in the league stage of the season, every game since R1 has contributed to where the teams are sat now, and the excitement it generates by rewarding the most consistent team throughout the whole league season.

The flip side is of your point, is what if a team had a great R1-R23, then lost every game in the Super8's finishing outside the playoffs, it'd render the LLS as an even more minor trophy than it is now.

To those who can't go due to work, how about taking some leave? It's the biggest game at the KC in a decade FFS

East and South nearly sold out hopefully they will open the north soon

North was open for Warrington anyway i thought?

I couldnt get 5 of us in the East just now so we've squeezed into the South. They might need to open another stand.

Is the whole of the East Stand available to Hull fans or will the north end be closed off?

still plenty left in the west stand, so i doubt the club will open the north until they have gone

Don't think they close off the north end, but this will be Wires allocation with some in the north ID imagine, dependant on how many they bring.

According the the stadium website the capacities are as followed:

North Stand: 4,000 capacity.
East Stand: 6,000 capacity.
South Stand: 4,000 capacity.
West Stand Lower: 6,000 capacity.
West Stand Upper: 5,000 capacity.

Bearing in mind this will be pre-the barrier at the north end of the East stand, plus however much we have to deduct due to having unreserved seating (is it 10%?), plus the big screen allocation, means with the three stands I'd imagine a capacity of 14,500-15,000, plus a bit of the north for away fans should be around 15,500.

All guesstimated on my part though.

Hull Daily Mail today suggesting that there will be 18,000 there on Friday.
