First up is Castleford at home on Sunday 19th February.

Full fixure list out tomorrow morning at 08.30.

We have generally been good starters - we've won eight round one fixtures in the last nine seasons which clearly suggests that the result of the first game isn't the be all and end all.

Cas up first for us. When was the last time we played them in am opener? 2006?

Yes a big win at Cas which we followed up the following week with another comfortable win at home to Wakey.

Wheels came off then and a poor run including a home defeat in the snow to Harlequins and a 0-46 hammering by Saints at the KC saw John Kear getting the sack.

Cheers for that, Bill Dalton

Think Danny Sculthorpe laid on a try for Cas with a chip kick that game

Did anyone get the survey for match days?

Or was it one of these where only a special few were chosen?

No point in doing a survey as opinion is split. The club will never please everyone (or even a largish majority) with the days they choose to play home games.

Interestingly I see our dear neighbours across the river are no longer doing Sunday games and all their home games are to be a Friday night

They want a Hull fair night atmosphere in that naff food area so they can sell more food and burgers to the East hull fats
Rumour is a ferris wheel was going up there but they couldnt find seats big enough for the generous sized HKR fan and another proposal that it could be used by Hudge and his investors to keep a birds eye view on all his development land around the ground was also shelved.
A more modest ghost train will now be proposed

The club said they did a survey, i don't recall one or know anyone who was asked

I've no problem with the club changing to weekends, not ideal for me, but Id rather them just come out and say they are moving to Saturday and Sundays instead of passing off a survey most fans knew nothing of!
