There's a difference between getting cold and wet and not actually been able to see the game.

I'll be there, and it's actually one of the cheaper grounds in the league for students!

When you have nothing to compare your ground with you just accept it and don't have a choice. Bearing in mind that most grounds were bad, but times change and people now want to sit in better stadia,hence why Rovers are upgrading New Craven Park (and it's also a franchise requirement). The fact that Hull fans don't turn up for the derby at your place doesn't make them part time supporters, it just means we will not put money into Hugell's coffers and pay £22 to stand and guess what is happening on the pitch.

£22? When did it go up.? The last time I looked it was £18

Appologies, got carried away quoting what could potentially be next seasons price when the South Stand is refurbished

Your not giving HIM your cash, he takes nothing out, in fact he has put plenty in.

It appears your the 'bell end'

My take on you lot coming is, come if you want to support your team, if you don't want to support them, then by all means don't come, we don't give a toss either way.

Got to be one of the least anticipated derbies of the SL era, two poor teams in poor form.

On that we agree

And its such an awful feeling to have, even at the Magic Weekend I felt we were watching two teams who would continue to improve and make the top6. Now both teams would be happy for 8th spot. Another season wasted.

To be fair, both sides have new coaching set ups and a fair number of new players, I never expected a top 6 finish, but thought we would make the 8, forgetting the rivalry the derby is now a 'must win' for both sides for league position alone.

I predict a week of "We're worse", "No, [iwe're[/i worse".

Exciting battle for the final play off place

comeeeeeeeeeee oooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn uuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

No arguments from me, your allays 'worse' to me

i will still be biting my nails and feeling nervous before the match,

Gentle says ' If we can't get up for this match then we may as well call it a day '

Quite a statement from a coach with a poor team at the moment

£22 ? Bargain ! You lot never stop moaning


'Work in progress 'so dont get to upset if you get beat .

I seen the thread on the VT about Gentle been a moaner but to me he comes across very well, seems very honest in his opinions, and here is another one.

As for for form, apart from the Salford defeat we have been playing ok, two close defeats by very good teams before getting beat at home last week.

Hull have only one win in their last 7 and that was against a Hudds team that have been in terrible form.

I honestly cant pick a winner, two teams not in the best of form, two teams with injury problems, who knows.

Cant make this game as I'm out of town but I will be able to get the to the pub for it.

I agree with that, I think mentally though you lot will have the edge.

Don't think we'll get anywhere near beating rovers. Their pack is much stronger than what we will put out and dobson will kick us to death. We'll give away lots of penalties, drop too much ball and offer little in attack

This. As for Rovers fans claims that injuries are about equal, I'd like to see the evidence. We'll get hammered in both sides' cup final, unfortunately.

Sad thing is it's not our cup final. Hasn't been since rovers were promoted. We've not been "up for it" in a derby enough IMO

Who have rovers got out anyway? welham and galea? Hardly comparable

Galea's back in a predictable "timely boost"

So is david hodgson I think

Who has made that claim?

Nearly every dobbins fan i work with
