Amazing scenes in Queen Victoria Square this afternoon. Up to 25,000 there to see the team return.

Nice to see a couple of rovers shirts amongst the B&W's there today

Strange choice when this official event was available for them.

Looks like the Fun Day is rocking.



.

I refuse to make a joke about 'family fun' in East Hull because, frankly, I'm above that sort of humour.

Anyone know where Stevie Michaels was today?

Is that their new stand?

Can't put the photo on on mobile but the players on that trailer look like they're facing the firing squad. Comedy gold.

Has Wilf come down to earth yet, he's been very quiet, maybe, like me, it hasn't sunk in yet?

Just seen look north jeez there were people everywhere didn't feel that packed standing there today looked amazing on the tv

More popular than their homecoming at city hall in 2015

Rovers will be well pleased, looks like they got seven more fans than expected!

Updated for accuracy........
Played 10
Won 2 (2016, 2017)
Drawn 1 (1982)
Lost 7 (1959,60,80,83,75,2008,2013)
Lance Todd Trophy Winners 3 (Tommy Harris, Marc Sneyd, Marc Sneyd)
World Record for Biggest Wembley Losing Margin 0

For any Rovers tuning in, their version of Challenge Cup history since they think Hull were founded reads,
Hull
Challenge Cup Finals 5
Won 3 (2 at Wembley)
Lost 2
Civic Receptions 3

Hull KR
Challenge Cup Finals 1
Won 0
Thrashed and embarrassed at Wembley 1
Civic Receptions 1
Fun Days 1
World Record for Biggest Wembley Losing Margin 1

Can't believe we have a 50% record at New Wembley. Let's look at the facts now:

Saints: W2 L0 100%
Wire: W3 L1 75%
Wigan W2 L1 66%
Hull: W2 L2 50%
Leeds: W2 L3 40%
Huddersfield: W0 L1 0%
Castleford: W0 L1 0%
Catalans: W0 L1 0%
Hull KR: W0 L1 0%

Have to give a special mention to the entrepreneurial scarf and flag seller, who spotted a gap in the market.

He was doing a unique version of the dual colour club scarfs and flags, at ever decreasing bargain prices.

They read ;
- Challenge Cup Final -
- Sat 26th August -
=#BF0000Wigan Warriors v =#FF8000Hull =#FF8040City


A brilliantly classic FAIL of epic proportions.




No Sales.... but loads of laughter

I wonder when the rfl will update our victory against wigan in their list of challenge cup winners. Could be a while, I guess, last years win isn't on there either. www.rugby-league.com/challengecu ... us_winners

It's didn't say Hull City, it just said Hull, the colours were wrong, and this was widely reported, nice mock up though.

Just watching it all again in sort of 'real time' only 7 days on! Hope we win!

As part of their end of season review, some Wigan fans are now suggesting that tries from bombs should only be awarded 3 points!?!

They claim it's becoming an outdated form of scoring tries, with only Hull/Fonoa using it.

So, if you can't beat a team in the Cup or League table, then change the rules until you do?

Wigan, the fans that keep on giving! What's not to love?

There are a number of things you could translate from this.

Firstly, if fewer players are adopting this tactic, thats because the skill set needed, not many have.

Secondly, if it is such a niche element of the game and difficult to execute then it would be rational to award it more points, not less.

Finally and probably more realistic, Wigans halves are simply not good enough.

few years ago wigan were expert at scoring tries off high kicks when pat Richards played for them.its just sour grapes.

Could have sworn Wigan's first try at Wembley was a result of a high kick, but then again not many of their fans were there to see it?
