They did indeed.

and a 6 nations game the week before

the pitch will be fine the ru game is 8 days before mm.

I quite fancy going to this now. will have to be a day trip though

Advantage Rovers then. Zod is always telling us how Rovers pack is far far taller and far far heavier than ours.

The problem for us is that the school half term doesn't start until the [ufollowing[/u week, so the kids are at school on the Monday. Had it been the first Sunday of half term (ie the next week), it would have been OK, but not going to take the kids out of school. Don't mind a late night for them on a Friday as they have the weekend afterwards, but this doesn't work for us.

Quite possibly, but the point was people complaining about the watching the game in the freezing cold, not the state of the pitch

I agree about longest distance away with work the next day.
Now imagine how you would feel if it was the 3rd year in a row that the RFL had done it to you.
How annoyed would you be now?

Were doing a weekend trip for this 1 folks. Leaving early Saturday morning from avenue pub returning straight after the game on the Sunday. The hotel is in the centre of Newport and includes breakfast. Prices are £80 pp,£20 deposit on booking. Pm me for more details. Thanks

according to thee bbc sport website

Were you the farthest away in the last two years?

Probably watch all in the ground barring Cats/Quins and Salford/Crusaders which will be enjoyed from one of the local bars.

i reckon me and my lad will watch all from the stadium,so i guess i will have to pay inflated prices at the stadium

Or if a game is pretty one sided nip off for a quick pint or 2 before the start of the next game.

well done you!
Im in awe of you [ireal[/i fans

I never said we were although we were the last game though.
Thats kinda my point.
Then add that to the valid point you have made.
How happy would you be?

well we are there for the whole weekend,and my lad is really looking forward to it already.probably get to a pub before the 1st game for a jar or 2 no doubt!!! plus a ''few shandies'' at the hotel

It's a total feck up for me; bad time of the year (weather wise) another rip off for the fans (over inflated hotel price's) and to top it all, our game's the last one to be played.

our coach trip is stopping in a hotel in swansea,so we are having to travel both days from there(dont know the distance).i do know a female friend from the bulls and her coach are stopping in cardiff,and she said she couldn't believe how much they had to pay for their hotel!!!

Assuming you too are on Wolfies coach then Jimmy?

Hi folks ,

Guess this roll on and on ,I personally think it is a awful decision by the

guys at the R/L to hold this event down in South Wales in the middle of winter .

Then just what does our opinions mean to the leaders at red hall ? . [size=150

Nothing [/size. So the point of my post is to say , We the Hull FC finest will

be going down on the day . Leaving around 7 am from the city centre ,stopping

off for lunch . Hopefully arriving around 1pm . Departing for home after our

game with that lot

Just to get some idea of numbers to know if we can go

with this , If you wonderful bunch could give us a call with some indication

of numbers we need .


Catch yer all later boys and girls .
