Sat at home watching Russell Howard waiting for family guy to come on

Get your backsides down to YPI tomorrow if you can, to show OUR lads some support.

Hull FC v Wigan
YPI, Chants Ave
2pm Kick off.

As per usual no mention of the under 19’s game on the clubs website or social media.

Wigan today is probably the most important game of the season so far and as a club we can not even be arsed to mention the young lads. Advertisement and marketing for the 19’s & 16’s games has been awful the past couple of years.

If cost saving is the main reason for the academy merger then why has not better game advertisement, marketing and game day management been used. 500+ attendances on a Saturday afternoon at a venue in Hull, not out at Bishop Burton should be easily achieved. With this level of footfall then with gate money, refreshments, merchandise sales, game sponsorship, match ball sponsorship, and a raffle etc a substantial lump could be raised at each home game that would go to off-setting the academy running costs.

Potentially academy and scholarship games could be huge money makers for the club. if someone at the club could just be bothered with the academy.

Half time 18-4 to Wigan

Great game going on 22-20 to Wigan with about 15 left

Finished 20-22. Good recovery from 4-18 and with Reece Dean going off injured.

Was a good game shame about the last minute penalty goal which hit the post and bounced the wrong side which would have given them a draw

How did Oliver Gildart go for Wigan?

I didn't g but from reports he got a couple of tries

Was impressed with him the last time they played at BB, classy centre and knows how to find his winger too

He was very, very good mate. Also mightily impressed with Shorrocks (played 6) and whilst he dropped a couple, the FB (Gabriel Fell) was very good on kick returns, very pacey.
