\Apart from the "three-eyes" comment, which was out of order (apologies), I meant every word. It was pretty unpleasant outside the ground. However, in the ground, I stood in the "best stand" which actually wasn't that bad. So my experience of the actual ground and games was pretty good. I think the whole "stadium" seemed to be facing the wrong direction and the wind howled from end-to-end so I would have been a bit diappointed with the set-up if I was a Rovers fan but facilities etc were okay. It was pretty new then and standards elsewhere (including Hull) have risen dramatically.

Just how desperate are you?

Made my evening, that post.
Terrified that neutrals, such as Huddersfield supporters for example, might make some profound judgements about Hull FC on the basis of the number of fans at this game. What a load of cack.

2. Winning against all the odds is the sweetest victory.
3. We waited 10+ years to have a meaningful derby game back... don't get complacent with the priveledge.
4. True supporters are there in the darker days win/lose, rain/shine.
5. Its embarassing that you haven't even sold out your allocation. Lets show the RL world it IS the biggest derby game by having another sell out.
6. If you win you still have a good chance of getting into the playoffs.
Nah, if it was on the sunday i may have listened on the radio, now its been moved to the saturday im out of town thank god.

I'm sure if we can take 3000 to Cas (when we are playing crap) IF the facilities were any good and you could see the game, we would easily sell our allocation for a game just across the river, even with present form. Saying that I will be there!!
Your point is nonesensical. Our ground is officially better then Cas'
