Sales looking very good, have to advise people to get to the ground early!
Traffic has been a nightmare in Hull for weeks with several roads shut, Walton Street is meant to have reopened but several deadlines have been and gone so it's not guaranteed.
Went to City-Chelsea the other week and several turnstiles in west upper were broken so it took 40mins to get in!
New passes have been issued for this season, and of course there will be many on paper print at home tickets so can add to delays at the turnstyles.
Sadly the ground seems to have lost the ability to handle big crowds since the move to automated turnstiles and the stewards didn't seem to take any action to help shift the crowd.

Must admit the usual “you can never predict a Derby” age old adage has been proved to be the sensible opinion, but after watching that totally professional destruction of Leeds, and the very best ever first outing performance, I have had the privilege to witness, on this rare occasion I feel we are too good for our neighbors, he says with a large gulp!

I would like to agree with you, but for two things:
1) Consistency
2) Home game
If we can significantly improve on these then yes. So for me at this moment in time it's still “you can never predict a Derby”

Rovers have some threats, two big strong centres and a very good attacking FB. Also if Parcell plays he offers a big threat from dummy half. They will try and ho around us and target our wingers as they shouldn't be able to cope with our pack, which looks weak with Garbutt the exception.

They don’t come much bigger than Hurrel Dave, and Jack Walker is as good as any from the back, Leeds were completely nullified, but understand your theory on their game plan, perhaps Swift in for Burretta, with his hopefully better defence, can shore up that possible weakness.
