After the doom and gloom that has hovered above C&W the last few days, I reckon it's about time we started looking forward to one of the best away days we have: Hull KR.

Cracking little ground, friendly locals and nice watering holes near by. Be a bit different this year with it being on a Friday night rather than a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Who's going? Should be a cracking game with Hull KR picking up the win against Leeds this past weekend. I think it's a must win really, as we could see ourselves 6 points off the top going into easter! But best not to dwell on that. I'm looking forward to a cracking game with a cracking atmosphere.

Cheers!

No idea whether I can go yet.

Friday night sucks for this sort of trip.
2 hours+ on a Friday is just wrong.

Don't mind the Yorkshire trips, but Humberside just makes life extremely difficult.

I only finish at 7 on friday, so unless I win the Lotto on Wednesday and buy myself a Helicopter, I won't be going. Gutted as I love Hull KR.

You'd still be at work on Friday if you won the Lotto on Wednesday? Nutter.

Dediction is that!

I only finish at 6pm, first game I've missed this year. I'm not risking my life doing 100+ on the motorway. I'll be listening this one on the radio, gutted but true!

2 From the Capital City will be there .

Friday night for both Hull clubs away is a pain for us & it happens more often for us. A bit off topic but our last game with Leeds on a Saturday afternoon was a nice change (the result helped a bit) no work next day & still time for a proper night out after the game for both sets of fans.
I wonder if we might try it of our own accord?. Anyway I hope to see you all that can make the trip & hope you travel safely but disapointed I think it may be interesting.
Just to put your geography right Hull is in Yorkshire & always has been Humberside (born 1974 died a few years ago) was an aberation best forgotten.

To Beverlerly Red can i just inform you that it is EAST Yorkshire that is because my friends over there always remind me that any cards i send must contain East Yorks and not Humberside, hope for a good game on fri!!!

True the East is the important part but as you may know Yorkshire folk have to be split up into the 3 rideings as it would be impossible for the councils to get anything done as we would be at each others throats even more than we are now, If you think we hate Lancashire it is nothing to the way we hate eachother.

Yes Bev we are like that we hate being called Greater Manchester we much prefer Lancashire!!

should be cracking

We should be able to pick up from it, Lima back will be a huge defensive boost. Our players will be seriously embarrassed after the Catalan game. Should be a cracking game really! Am I Right in thinking Sky are showing Saints Vs Wakefield instead? There is at least 2 better games on that night never mind that weekend. I know Sky have to show teams a certain amount of times but who on earth picked this one??? Will only be good if Saints lose

Nah,back in the day calling you East Riding was simply a sop to stop your lot rowing up the Ouse, and spreading doom and gloom with all your raping and pillaqing. Soon as we could you were disenfranchised.



Have a look at what is written on the sides of your police cars....

....no matter what the politicians tell you....Humberside you were, and Humberside you will always be my fishy friend!

Hull is a river but that still makes you right.

The name of your city is Kingston upon Hull.

How/why did it get shortened to Hull? That's like calling Newcastle Tyne or Henley Thames.

Sadly, can't make the game this Friday.

If you've ever been there you'd know that it's actually been shortened to 'ull.

Always makes me laugh when I see comments like these. My job takes me all over the north of England, mainly to deprived areas of towns and cities and over the last year I have covered most RL playing areas, in fact when I switch this off i am going to Cas and Wakey, with Leeds on Wednesday. Last week I was in St Hellens, Runcorn and the Wigan area.

I have yet to see any area of Hull that can compete with these areas in the $hithole stakes.

Working in Runcorn today "I love the smell of chemicals in the morining"

I didn't read their post as a having 'a go' at Hull but nevertheless your post is spot on. The North West is riddled with rat infested places such as Orford and Dallam in Warrington, Thatto Heath in Sint Ellins, and parts of Abram.

Christ lad but if you think Abram's rat-infested you ain't seen nothing yet!

Can you post this on all the other teams Boards as they are constantly slagging it off, mostly unjustified (I really hope you were'nt being sarcarstic)

This will be a pivotal game in our season, because it will tell us a lot about our potential this year in my view.

Just one win in the last four games...and some pretty poor performances too. Even the win against Hull was scratchy.

So... will it be a good performance (back to the standard we reach at Hudds) or will we splutter again?

If its the latter we're in big trouble because 5 poor performances in a row is not a blip..it'll demonistrate there are serious problems.

If we win with a good performance..it'll tee up good friday and the opportunity to kick on to greater things.

Interesting the bookies have Wigan -8 , but then again they had us-18 last week!

Lets hope we turn the corner tonight.

It wasn't. I spent three years at Uni there (one year in Cottingham, two years just off Bev Road). I was merely stating that the local omit the 'H' from the name.

The anti-royalist sentiments of the town's inhabitants prevented the name "King's Town on Hull" from sticking.
