Now,I couldn't give a monkeys about City/Tigers/Tiggers being in the FA cup final but there are some fans who are pass holders at both clubs and with the Final being same day as magic w-end,I wonder what some will do oe will the mad sand dancer ask for us to be moved to the Sunday.

More than likely - he's already moved City's Easter game forward a day to next Sunday.

Allam won't give the derby a second thought. Cannot see the RFL sanctioning a move to the Sunday anyway.

The people who support City and one of the RL teams will have to make a choice. Given that there are at least four derbies a year and given that City may never make the FA Cup final again I doubt the decision will take long.

Its not exactly his decision. It was the fa that moved for chelseas benefit.

Not even a debate I'd have thought. We've played Rovers about 20 times in 7 years and there's no silverware at stake. You'd have to be a pretty low key fan to turn down a Wembley ticket for a half empty Etihad battle for 8th.

You never know with him...for me,it's a no brainier....if you support city then you go there....mind you,getting a ticket may be hard.....saw loads today with shirts on and with city selling out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus it's on sky as well

fa cup final if you can get a ticket or 2nd best magic weekend

less tickets for the final than the semi final, maybe 1 each per pass holder this time, can see those who dont get tickets staying home to watch the final if it clashes

Its a shame that the game before ours (Salford-Widnes) isn't a more profile one, as we may have had some luck with the RFL in swapping kick-off times at the Magic Weekend, allowing fans to watch the Rugby then the Final on TV and vice-versa the Rugby on TV then on to Wembley for the game. But can't see the RFL or SKY wanting Salford Widnes on at 5pm.

I will be watching the rugby of course, cos I am a HullFC fan before anything else, but I can understand why fans who support both would choose the 'once in a lifetime' FA Cup final over the Derby.

Better not change anything already got my day match tickets and rail tickets. Doubt it will be.

I'm a city fan but my 1st love is rugby and hull fc, I'm not a pass holder for city but I am at fc and I only go to city on weekends that I can afford it now there back in the prem and it's so expensive, I went to most of city's home games in the championship seasons. I don't expect that I'll get a ticket for the final but if one comes my way then I'll be going to wembley if not then with the ko times clashing I plan to stay at home watch the cup final and record the derby whilst avoiding the score to watch straight after. It's a shame that on such a big day for the city something carn't be sorted with the rfl.

Do they clash? Cup final @ 15:00 and derby @17:00 ??

Cup final move to a teatime kick off a couple of years back.

Last seasons cup final kicked off at 5.15

bbc website says 15:00. FA says tbc.

I hear Allam has paid the FA to move the cup final a day so it doesnt clash with rugby

Afterall he said he'll have trouble shifting the 25K they will get for the final (semi allocation minus unsold, 6k unsold)

One way of looking at is is not to call them dual supporters, but "half supporters".

After all, if you divide one into two you get two halves !

I personally hope that ty get thrashed, but that's just an opinion.

No brainer if you follow both clubs, Wembley if you can get a ticket.

I'll be at Magic but would have liked to have al least watched the Cup Final live. Shame that Magic is no longer on May Bank Holiday weekend then there would not have been a clash.

Think Magic support for FC & KR will suffer as a result of the final, suspect even some who have bought tickets will sacrifice them if they can get to Wembley especially as they only cost £8 - £12 in most instances.

Wonder which game AP will be watching....

Good luck to them, can only do the City of Hull good. Not interested in watching them, but wish them the best of British. If supporters have divided loyalties, then go and watch City, they won't be at Wembley again for a long time, enjoy yourselves.

What an absolute idiot you are.

Great for the city, as it was when we got there last year. Hope their visit ends better than ours did.

If you support both, you go to Wembley, it's a no brainer.

No brainier for me.

Magic weekend here I come.

Why is he?

Is it due to him forming his own opinion without it being vetted by a top 5 poster?

In all honesty i couldn't care less if city won lost today and won't in the fa cup..
BUT.. if they win it's good for city, lose an it's laugh at allam..
But i'm at magic weekend but will record fa cup..
