Definitely the biggest derby for 40 years. Who knows maybe the days of the 2 clubs regularly competing against each other in big games will become commonplace again.


Hull FC did exceptionally well against Wigan fair play. But you were getting hammered until Field went off and Keighran playing on one leg. And without doubt there was a Vegas hangover for Wigan. Even so there are 7 clubs grateful that you took advantage.


I'm fairly confident of a Rovers win, teams are struggling to get out of their own half and you will be coming up against a defence better than anything you have faced so far.

Isn't the horse racing now on ITV? In which case our game will be in direct competition with it. A shame as I still like to watch the National, a great sporting spectacle. Also, unless the BBC up their coverage standards of recent weeks, we'll look like amateur hour again. The  games they've shown so far this year have felt like a throwback to Grandstand 1975 when they used to shoe-horn the second half of games into a spare half-hour during a Saturday afternoon. Our game last Saturday had Tanya Arnold and Kevin Brown doing about three different jobs apiece! Is this a part of the cutbacks in BBC sport I wonder.

Hull Live seem to think Rovers have to be given 7k tickets (30%) which is a logistical dilemma. Remains to be seen what the Police demand.

How many have they been allocated for Good Friday (presumably North stand only)? If the extra overspill means upper West then, as you say, it may pose a logistical dilemma given recent experience. 

Not exactly the same odds though is it

3,700 for Good Friday, they have had 7k at a derby before but that was in the good old days of sharing the West Upper, before things got a bit nasty.
