Do you really think that not attending international matches out of protest will encourage the RFL to give more high-profile games to Hull?

Surprised their has been no mention of the Hull "fan" who got on the pitch to celebrate with the players after a try. He then ran around the Rovers players giving them the sign. Planning a Hull derby for the last match is just madness. Fans of both our clubs are quite capable of getting ratd for a mid day kick let alone a 7pm kick off.

Welham mentioned it last night on twitter.

Good job he didnt try and tackle him.

No worse then Seymour's attempt on Hodgson what actually happened after that move again I seem to have forgotten?

The magic weekend works for me, there's been some great games, a couple of one sided games but that was expected. 63 thousand over the 2 days is a good turn out. I'm suprised were the only sport that does this tbh.

Turner was the culprit for me and,unusually for Seymour,he missed him and he scored and you won.You wont forget as you lot think its the be all and end all to beat us...me,its 2 pts and we are sitting nicely in the table thanks.

Indeed it is. But thanks for gifting these specific 2 points to ourselves.

Night Night.

Sums it up...doesnt matter if its you or someone else.Ahhh seeing as you won...the missus will get it...you going to call her hodgey.

What does "sparing us on" mean?

It is not a good turnout. If those games were played in the home grounds the combined crowd would be almost 80k. So do tell how that works for the clubs who miss out

What I find baffling too is I though MM was originally created to encourage expansion, but by now having it on the 'M62 corridor' isn't that admitting defeat? :S

everyone has a choice to choose, the rfl have snubbed the city of hull with two high profile games that they told we would get, instead we get the big box office game of england v figi with the rfl banking on rugby league fans to fill the ground, i will not pay to go if they charge the same as they did for tri nations games!

Moron. 'Fans' like you only help to hold our sport back. Well done.

To be honest I reckon the idea was more along the lines that Cardiff Council wanted some events to replace the FA Cup Final, Football Playoffs and Challenge Cup Final that had returned to Wembley and rang the RFL up offering some cash...the RFL then concocted an event up!

While Manchester is on the M62, it is still an area of untapped potential. Saw a few Man City shirts in the crowd yesterday, and you'd hope that games like the Hull derby would have left an impression.

the rfl don't need any help from me holding the sport back, they do a good enough job already!

but, in your haste to throw insults you missed my earlier post where i said i would go, but not at the point of being ripped off! if the rfl want the public of hull and surrounding area to fill the kc, charging the same prices as a tri nation games isn't going to work!

btw i have only missed 1 international at the kc since it was opened but don't let that stop you throwing insults!


now going back to the magic weekend i thought it was a little disapointing the overall attendance

Had a great day yesterday (apart from our result), but was really disappointed with food outlets around the ground. Would of thought there would have been more choice.

I don't mind the idea just the concept because it is a complete f.

Pairing Warrington against Widnes is a complete joke (giving them 2 points)

Should be based on league position ie 1v2 3v4 etc

It should be based on which ever games will get the highest attendences, England RU got over 40,000 over the weekend for a nothing game.

We said the same.
We really enjoyed Manchester, the ground was very good the stewarding was very fair, people were allowed to take in their own food & drink in cool bags (apart from their own alcohol), the stuff around the stadium was decent enough to keep the young ones entertained and places to eat not too expensive. I was impressed how they had lots of buses ready to ship us into the city centre straight after the match on Saturday for £1.50 each. Plenty of choices for a night out overall I consider it the best venue so far. Mind what really shocked me was the high police presence, horses and the riot vans, got talking to one of coppers on her horse and she said she had seen nothing like it all the fans sat drinking and mingling together was a credit to the sport she said they are normally very busy splitting the fans up!

Does everyone make a "weekend" of salford away?

Why would people do that ?

Personally I consider MM a great opportunity to mix and have a good laugh with the fans of the other 13 clubs....the concept is clearly lost on you.

No but Salford is just 1 game. MM is the chance to watch 3 or 4 games in one day and 7 if you go to both days.

We really enjoyed the weekend, nice venue and easy to get to. The 1 hour between games on the Saturday was a bad choice though.

Agree about the hour between the games on the Saturday. should have been 4 games on the Saturday and 3 on Sunday, giving people the chance to get home earlier on the Sunday (work on Monday morning and all that). Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend (despite the result) and the stewards were all in good form, good senses of humour and we were allowed to take soft drinks, water and food into the complex. Saw a few getting kicked out from Hull, Dobbins, Leeds and Wire (so no change all round), hope the idiot that went onto the pitch gets banned from games. We really don't need our names dragging through the mud again.

All in all, a thoroughly good weekend, great rugby, fantastic company and the chance to slag Ganson of AGAIN.
