I can't argue with that bit.

There's also no rule stopping you buying a seat at Wakefield and sitting in unreserved seats. Every year at the Wakefield v Hull match I sit with 3 FC fans. The segregation is to allow the home fans to have their own end, that being the North Stand. Most clubs home fans have their own designated/implied designated end.

we bought seat tickets for last seasons regular home game v fc, lets just say it wasnt the greatest experience

fans stood in the well smoking and sitting kids on their shoulders obstructing views, yes we did ask them not too, also a dog with its owner constantly barking throughout the game!

I have been a season ticket holder for years and never encountered the problems you have, sorry to hear of them.

As for the owner with the dog, was it a golden labrador? If so I suspect it is the partially sighted fan who regularly goes home and away. Admittedly the dog never shuts up.

Unlike the KCom Stadium, there are many unreserved seats in the East Stand at Belle Vue. So if you have bad experiences like you describe you could easily move to another seat with a better view.

didnt see the dog, just heard it all match, wasn't sure if it was a sight dog but thought it had to be some kind of aid for the fan

next year if we decide to sit we will move more central

That's where I am and can recommend it. See you there

Ha just realised that our half term break to Estartit coincides perfectly with the Catalan away game!!!! Awesome!

Anyone ever done a transfer from Estartit to Perpignan via CST?

Not strictly 2017 fixture related...but says in the HDM that Pearson has had discussions with the RFL about getting 'big' fixtures to the KC, following us being snubbed for both playing the Kiwi's in our 150th anniversary (they played Leeds instead) and this years World Club Championship. It seems he wants us to play New Zealand/Australia as a friendly. And also is pushing for us to get a decent World Cup game.

Of course he is probably more interested now as he's hoping to be part of the winning Hull City/SMC bid.

all well and good but as we know with international RL, there will be no plan for whats going in in 2019, and venues will be picked at last minute!

The WC is 5 years away yet, so a good 3 years at least before venues will be announced. With the bid team saying the majority of games will be in the heartlands, I imagine the KCOM will be one of those chosen. Probably a QF and high-profile group game.

2018 the 4 Nations is scheduled for Aus.

2019 is apparently going to be a GB Tour.

2020 the 4 Nations is back over here.

There doesn't seem to be much opportunity until 2019 at the least (depending on what they do). Our game is crying out for mid-season International tests. Looking at that there'll be no competitive International RL played in this country for three years 2016-2019, which is very poor.

They should do a 6 nations style tournament mid season, England only picking their UK based players would level the playing field a bit and getting France, Ireland, Italy & Wales playing regular games is the only way they will improve. But of course the SL clubs wont be up for it.

Not sure where you've gotten your info from, but last I heard there was going to be no more 4 Nations and it's being replaced with an 8-team Confederations Cup tournament.

Are we really? Interesting. And where would one get that information from?

Or are we making stuff up? Again.

Perhaps it was sarcasm as most rovers fans I know are not the slightest bit interested in this fixture this year and certainly not at the KCOM yet again

What on earth are you talking about? Failure to turn up in the same numbers as last year would represent fickledom in the extreme. The opposite of "Rovers forever" indeed. Can't play the derby fatigue card when we don't have a scheduled meaningful game until 2018, so any decline year on year must the old "Hero with Coward's Legs" scenario.

Not many dobbins came to the league fixture in July.

Be even less at the pre season fixture.

Championship clubs don't tend to take many supporters to Super League clubs, e.g. when Oldham visited Hull KR last season in the Cup.

Can't say I blame you after nearly 2 years of being dry bummed by us.

Of course this is what they really mean by derby fatigue. Must be physically and emotionally spent. Ben Cockayne must be delighted to have some respite from Michaels though, almost felt sorry for him having to watch Stevie dance past him yet again.

While it'll be a bit of a lambs to the slaughter scenario, and Radford's impressively ruthless approach means he will no doubt have had the whetstone out, it is only a friendly - what's to fear ateotd?

You get to run up a score and sing about winning at Wembley. And rightly so. The price for that pleasure is to pay for a bit of our squad depth. Don't expect 'us' to turn up and watch it though, apart from a few hardy masochists. Suffered enough of late!

#Roversforever though. Looking forward to seeing your 4k filling the North Stand, hopefully we remember to parade the Challenge Cup round. You've not won it within living memory of the majority of your supporters, so would be nice to unite and share as we commence the City of Culture year in such different positions.

Another home friendly against Toronto at the KC on the 22nd.

Their first ever game
