Tough draw for us, despite the win the other week, all Morgan has to do is pin the scoreline up in the dressing room and they'll be up for it.

At least we're at home and should get a good crowd with STH's getting in for free.

We should get agood atmosphere and not one of them easier on paper games, which are a poor spectacle akin Rochdale last year.

Please no TV game. We can get a bloody massive crowd at our place as KR will bring thousands if they're STs are getting in for nowt.

Imagine the atmosphere - I propose we give them both ends and let that guy who complained to the zaminer can sit in the middle of them!!

Just checked on their forum and they do get in for free so should be a cracking atmosphere, just hope they bring a few, some may not fancy it after what we did to them in the league, but this is a whole new kettle of fish.

They're used to fish though

They will bring plenty.

I'd hope plenty of us turn up as well. We took decent numbers down to London for the equivalent fixture last year.

We'll be there in numbers alright, lets just hope you give us enough tickets.



Oh! and the original post....we got a bye....

Well the stadium only holds just over 24k so there's going to be about 3million unhappy Robins fans locked out.

We'll be there in numbers don't you worry.

As for pinning up the scoreline in our dressing room to inspire the boys, I'd just pin up the opening post, that'll do it



Here's to a cracking game.

Ah, but that's just an opinion where as the scoreline is a fact

Personally for me i would hope its no the saturday or at least late sunday afternoon as it will clash with wednesday v united on the 18th. .should be a sell out what with rovers massive travelling support of 20thousand no doubt

You may take the mick out of our excellent travelling support, but just think how much it puts into your bars and food outlets. With 6000+ passholders able to get in for free for this game we'll bring plenty and your club will benefit.

As for the result, I'm glad you are feeling confident

I may be wrong but I don't think the club make anything from the food/drink outlets at the stadium. Catering companies fight it out every few years for the contract to cater at the Galpharm.

just a quick one on this, does the "away" stand only hold 4k like someone mentioned on our page?
if so do you reckon we'd get both ends, seen as though we have about 6k STH, with afew hundred walk up on the day?

The Giants will probably be in contact with yours about roughly how many will turn up. If Rovers reckon 6k then it wouldn't surprise me if they give you part of the Brittannia rescue stand rather than the opposite end behind the sticks.

Wont they have to acquire the tickets prior to the day itself? I think they will and that this will help them calculate projected numbers.

Aye probably so. Hell, with all these free tickets, how many would Leeds have brought to our ground if we'd drawn them in the cup.

It should be a good occasion and it's not passed me by that Rovers were the side that put us out the season after we reached the final in 2006.

'only 4k'! Just 4000 seats under cover, shocking really. The assumption that all STH will go to the game is unlikely to be true.

Over 2/3 of them is feasible though. Didn't we take almost 2,000 to Quins last year? that's 40% and 200miles.

Any excuse to get out of Hull on a freebie is not to be sniffed at.

Na, the attendance that day was something like 2,500. We took 1,000 or so.

All I remember was I was not allowed to go. I still have the thumb mark on my head.

Wouldn't it be more logical for us to have the away end & HKR to have the rest of the ground?

Perhaps the club would even move the screen to the car park for those travellers who would be locked out of the full stadium?

Do you think there's a chance we might actually be outnumbered at home?

I still have the emotional scars from paying £5 for a burger too. Mind you, it was a cracking burger.
