James Rule said: “On behalf of the staff and players of Hull FC I wish to thank our fans for selling out the KC Stadium. The stage is now set for a titanic contest.”

Blinkered approach Mr Rule.

Come on Rovers stick his statement on behalf of the other 7/8K in the stadium

Typical pre-derby comment, pity it's about the number of fans that seems to be the most common argument from them these days.

Where are the rest of these common arguments then?

If he was any good he'd have crowbarred a bit in about the £24,000 Hull FC had raised for Children in Need

It is £24,000 isn't it? It would be a travesty if less than £24,000 was donated from an attendance of 24,000 and a levy of £1.00 per person

No it wouldn't.
What is a travesty is that we are not charging £30 per North Stand ticket

And pocketing the difference.

Of course, help paying the players

So you see the ripping off of children in need as what?

Do your Aussie holidaymakers come under that tag?

why would it be 24000?? Your maths not exactly your strongest point i see.

8000+ season ticket holders did not pay the £1 so that takes it down to less than 16,000 plus the free tickets for the youngster with passes from your supporters.

And you would expect something better from a user with the name "Geek"

Would have had more respect for Rule if he had done the right thing and propped up the 'gift' to the full attendance figure x£1... mind at least it means all Rovers Supporters have made a charity donation.

Apart from the ones who got a free ticket with the pass (IE the youngsters)

Typical PR statement to soften the blow when they get hammered tomorrow.

Yeah, right, that's what I'll be thinking about when you hand us our @rses.

IF we get hammered how will that soften the blow?

Becareful using the word 'hammered' Zod... HDM will turn it round and accuse us Red and Whites of being hammer wielding thugs... mind at least it's not as bad as Agar saying he's going to 'wield the axe'!

rule is that thick he will probably wear extra dark sun glasses to see nowt but black n white and actually belive they have sold it out!

Don't you just love 'Jim nice but dim'.
You got to feel sorry for the guy, no-one else from the club every speaks to to fans/media, he is left to be the patsy and what a damn fine one he makes.

Nope, convicts, something you will be familiar with!

Oh, the irony.

but we need to pocket the difference as were skint dont forget....
