That's fine with us. It was one of your lot telling us to get down there!

I can think of six reasons to attend if you support F.C.

1 Masochistic tendences.
2 Enjoy a good horror story.
3 Find complete enjoyment in chucking hard earned money away.
4 You are lucky to have keen eyesight to see the pitch.
5 The brotherly love that radiates towards you from the Robins.
6 You can say "I told you so" after the match.

What we forget is that there will be many viewers from outside the Rugby league heartlands watching this game and as neutrals will be not only be watching a blood and thunder derby but enjoying the atmosphere and rivalry and gauging the reactions of both sets of fans etc and invariably become "involved and interested"
Shame if households south of the R.L. heartlands believe there is only one teams fans who have turned out to support their side and inevitiably make assumptions on the teams, the fans etc based on this game.

The sky cameras wouuld need special lenses to capture our fans

So i should go and pay over the odds to stand in a "stand" where i can see fook all just so that some shandy drinking person south of the R.L heartlands can say " By jove,that looks to be a spiffing game with all those fans mixing together and singing rude songs at each other".

Thats me decided then..........who has a spare ticket.......

I am so sorry but I have been once and don't want to go again. It's not the ground (although I have never been at the "away" end that is obviously so well liked by FC supporters) but it's the area that NCP is in. I felt uneasy and threatened, particularly when I entered the local pub. I hadn't intended to go back and unfortunately I haven't heard anything on here or elsewhere that has changed my mind yet (including from supporters of other teams) but that could change. I know that the majority of the supporters of both teams are fine but I was more bothered about those outside the ground who weren't wearing the red and white - mainly the ones with three eyes.

Ignore them,City supporters.

I lived in Barton-upon-Humber for 11 years - is that the Barton in your name?

Have you ever been down bouuuuuuuulevard???

yes but we dont play there anymore it wasnt that bad when we did

\Apart from the "three-eyes" comment, which was out of order (apologies), I meant every word. It was pretty unpleasant outside the ground. However, in the ground, I stood in the "best stand" which actually wasn't that bad. So my experience of the actual ground and games was pretty good. I think the whole "stadium" seemed to be facing the wrong direction and the wind howled from end-to-end so I would have been a bit diappointed with the set-up if I was a Rovers fan but facilities etc were okay. It was pretty new then and standards elsewhere (including Hull) have risen dramatically.

Just how desperate are you?

Made my evening, that post.



Terrified that neutrals, such as Huddersfield supporters for example, might make some profound judgements about Hull FC on the basis of the number of fans at this game. What a load of cack.

Yes mate,live here now,but I am from Cleethorpes.

Nah, if it was on the sunday i may have listened on the radio, now its been moved to the saturday im out of town thank god.

Your point is nonesensical. Our ground is officially better then Cas'

B0llox.

Boll0cks. You're the first person that I've ever heard say that.

I'd rather go to Wakefield

You can buy a new cat litter tray but it's still sh17 inside.

Yes we would...then again we go there every year and have our tickets booked when they come out.

ATEOTD, the P&O ferry docked would give you a better view. And another thing, there's not a chance in hell I'm taking my 8 year old son to a game that is volatile at the best of times, let alone at 6pm on a Saturday night.

Oh it's official then, that article confirms it





Tbh I don't even think Wheldon Road is that bad, and I certainly wouldnt put it in the same bracket as BV, CP, BF. Imo its a good old fashioned rugby league ground, you get a good view of the game from all four sides of the ground, the atmosphere is great, and it homes a great set of supporters imo. Compare that to craven park, where you can only visibly see the game from 3 sides, banter with opposition fans is awful, and not to mention the fact that youve got a temporary golf stand to home away supporters (unless youre Hull.FC of course). Yes you may have plans in place to improve your facilities, but at present youre ground is knowhere near as good as Cas'.

So why have they been told to improve their facilities and we havent?

You have, it's just that Grudgell couldn't hear the environmental health officer because of the gas mask.

Beats me, thats the RFL for you. I presume its because they don't regard Wheldon Road to be 'sl standard', but neither is craven park. Fair enough you may have plans in place to improve your ground, but does that mean that right now, youre ground is better? No.
