i was at that game, 1985, i also remember going there in the early 90's only to find it had been called off, we took an army of fans there and nobody bothered to tell the fans, we ended up staying for a couple of hours and getting sh:tfaced

I was at both games too. Remember there were running battles outside the ground after the 85 game with police charging fans on horseback. The called off game, I'm pretty sure it was announced that the game was on by local radio on the day only to be called off at the last minute

I was there.

I remember you had to park the coaches next to an estate and the locals used to wait across the green to bait/brick the fans as the coaches pulled off.

You're right about the game being on to start with. We turned up at the gates as the stewards were shutting most of the gates and turning people away. Iirc most of the Hull fans made a beeline for the Cricketers Arms outside the ground.

Agar will have to make at least one change from the side that beat Salford 32-16 last Friday after Sam Obst was ruled out with a side strain. Kirk Yeaman, who suffered concussion in that game, is expected to be fit along with centre Martin Gleeson. "Sam Obst is going to be struggling this weekend," said Agar. "He's going to be aiming more for Huddersfield." www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html?

Turner is a more than adequate replacement for this game

Good chance to get Turner out there. Been a while since he's had a game and was playing pretty well, too.

2 weeks ago against Oldham?

Ok, a [uCOMPETITIVE[/u game.

Maybe, but the novelty of a quality right centre hasn't worn off for me yet plus he's still a bit short on fitness. I'd play him.

How many coaches are travelling?Hopefully see a few travelling and you should have a good win.

3 coaches from the club. I would expect about 15 coaches altogether. I guess between 1000 and 1500 will come

I think we'll get near the 2,000 mark, I know quite a few people going who don't normally "do" away games.

A bit optimistic i think but would be a cracking turnout if it happens. The fact the tickets have been priced nicely for the supporters will have certainly helped sway a lot of people to go.
Hopefully a nice sunny day on saturday will help convince a few more to turn up as well.

15 bus loads is about 700 people, I think there will be more than 300 car loads on the M62 come 11am Saturday.

Just count yourselves lucky you don't have to drive the route I am!!!

Snake Pass, through Manchester, then M62 is the route I'm taking.

Hoping we have a decent turnout whatever

sounds similar to me!

See Fitz is being rested for this game He is not in the 19

Sounds like you guys will be bring a few with you tomorrow, how many tickets you sold?
looking forward to the game

Hull's official facebook page says over 1,250.

I bought mine today and got 1246 - 1248 , im presuming they started at 1

Cracking stuff chaps

let's hope the Widnes public respond!

More than any other away game this season. Could end up being over 2000 with walk ups too.

lets hope we do, hope we can get 5,000

i am sure there will also be a lump of folk who pay at the turnstile as well as those already sold, should be a decent turnout

Are you actually serious? He was terrible. No offence to the lad and i like him, but he is NOT a 6.
We were looking to put 60 on them before Obst went off
