Who pays the stewards? Cleaners? Turnstile operators? And other costs associated with opening and running a stadium?

Would be more economic to play behind closed doors than let people in for free.

Friendly/Trial games are what they are. But in the long run they count for sod all.

Crikey !

The point is that, you know exactly what the deal is before you turn up so, either pay the £15 and enjoy the game, or stay at home.
Most clubs need the income.
The Hull game was over 9000 and Wakey/ Leeds, albeit on Boxing Day was similar.
Our game has been underselling itself for years and now we all want a freebie in order to "support" our club's

Fev 54-6 fc
Cas 66-10 bulls

It's really not looking good for Hull FC.

What was Hulls squad like? Ours was reasonable although had Sammut, Gaskell, Carvell, George, Kearney as couple of others missing. Still surprised we lost by so much! Cas looking good this year!

Leigh 20-34 Warrington

Giants 20 - 18 Hull Kr

Rochdale 2 - 62 Saints

Shaul
Lineham
Crooks
Yeaman
Stark
Rankin
Horne
Watts
Hadley
Bowden
Whiting
Thompson
Westerman

All first teamers barring Stark and Hadley who is a back rower playing hooker for some bizarre reason.
Then brought all the kids on second half. Radders has barely gave the first choice team a run out all season.

Talking to hull fans after game, started with strong team including about 8/9 first Team players. half time score was 24-6.

fev also had a few players missing, with about 4 playing their first game of the season

Strong squad in the 1st half and you where losing 24-6. Your excuses arent washing pal.

What excuses am I giving? None. We we're awful and would have been the same score if we kept the same team from the first half on for the second. The kids we're always going to get beat, it's the fact that the first half with the team we had playing we're embarrassing. Gareth Moore at 7 for Fev was brilliant, close to a perfect game from him.

How you even thought I was given excuses from that post is stupid, idiot.

Hull and Bradford fans are you worried?

Erm



Excuse or observation? If it's the latter then I apologise.

Someone asked what team we had out playing, I replied saying we had the first team playing first half barring Stark and Hadley. Second half was kids but included Miller, Bowden and Arundel who was the oldest player at 24 the next oldest was Miller 21. No excuses here. First teamers were a joke.

Bit touchy aren't you? What will you be like when you start losing games that matter?

No.

If it's a similar score line when we play Catalans then I will start worrying, but, as poor as today's result was, it's not worth getting worked up about a friendly.

Wouldn't say worried. Had a few Inportant players missing but still not great result and shows we could struggle with injuries.

However can't read too much into friendlies, didn't saints beat giants last year to be hammered following week in season. I'll tell you after first 3 games if we're worried.
They're crucial to our season IMO

Hunslet 20 - Wakefield 40

Not my fault people can't read posts correctly is it.

No, it's you who is touchy.

Been a pretty poor pre season tbf . We have only won one pre season game ( god that must have been against a pretty poor team for that to have happened)

Okay.

Haha let me guess Radders game plan , build up a big lead first half and see if the young lads can hang on.

First manager to be sacked in 2014 anyone?
