I sat through the dire 1999 season, but even though we were shocking, we had no cash, few decent players...a crumbling ground and you could understand why we were in the situation we were in, now they have everything in place but manage to cock it up every other game.

Well on Saturday I bought 7 tickets with one pass.

I think one of the problems with game quality has been how the game has evolved. Its now even more important to be big, strong and fast. Its almost as though the skill factor has become a secondary requirement. Due to the pace of the game, errors become more frequent and hence the games become fragmented.

I also thing the media have some questions to answer about the perception of the game. Take last nights St's v Wigan game. Great game to watch, but there were as many errors in that game as there were in the Cat v Hull cup game. Yet Eddie and Stevo put the ball spilling down to high impact tackling when certain teams are involved.

Every team has injuries, but Hull have been affected in key areas more than most for several years now.

Hull FC are a decent side, unfortunately we are very inconsistent. For every Warrington away / Leeds at home performance, there is a Wakey at home or a Cas away display. Is this the fault of the coach or the players?

Many of us are frustrated, but I don't see how choosing not to attend helps out. I am of the opinion that players should be afforded praise when things are going well, but they should also know that we, as fans, are unhappy with below par performances when they have shown they can play better.

I actually feel confident now after seeing Rovers attempt to try and tackle at Wire.

Dobbo, Burns, Hall, Hodgson, all dug deep

Reading the wire board , Looks like there struggling to shift tickets .

and offering £5 coach travel!

Exactly.

Probably getting them for the final instead. Let's face it, Sunday is likely to be a formality for them, unless a minor miracle happens and FC actually turn up.

I'm not confidant on a wire win at all. I'm bricking it to be honest.

you must be a pessimist then!

Good, lets hope you're right not to be confident.

Not hard to figure that one out

As long as Liam and Joe aren't hidden round the back of here in the beer garden all afty.

Poor coverage from the BBC once again under the title of "Challenge Cup: RFL defends Cup semi-final venue" the story is about the clash between Wigan and London being played in Leigh

However, there is a mention of the other semi between Hull KR and Warrington...

"The other Challenge Cup semi-final between Hull KR and Warrington Wolves, on Sunday, will take place at Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium, meaning Rovers will have to travel about 70 miles and Warrington roughly 40"

The RFL should look for another partner for the Cup but i'm unsure if they are legally allowed to?

Why an agricultural college??

We're going to plough up the field on Sunday.

Its one of the locations or our academy training centres and where the U19's play there games.

The lads milk cows and drive tractors as team building exercises
