I mentioned in the thread earlier that I’ve attended most games in seated areas and those Whinos are pretty obnoxious god only knows what South Standers are like but there again in the late 70’s and 80’s FC fans took over that shabby area too.

No we don’t, it’s jealousy

Did we? An oasis in a sea of defeats I would think

Sounds like you've lost a year out of your life.

June 3rd 2017 Wigan Home W 39-28

Beat them in the challenge cup that year as well if my memory isn't as bad as yours.

like leeds fans in 2017?

Nah we just fancied winning the GF that year and against all the odds too, as it would cause the biggest upset since we previously caused the biggest upsets in GF history when we won it twice from 5th position

Maybe you lot should try winning a GF against all the odds....It's not that hard really when you know how

ahh the old we weren't bothered excuse.....just like most wont be if you go down, then you and bradford can talk about those glory days on the forum below!

Care little. We won the main prize!

So what's your mobs excuse at never giving the GF winning thingy a go?
I suppose you couldn't be bothered



Things have moved on from the old song of "Old faithful you'll never win at Wembley" It's now you'll never win a Grand Final!


It doesn't have the same ring to it but it's still true


We're not down yet,I hope we prolong you're hope until the last game of the season and then scrape a lucky win to stop up



We could both end up winning exactly the same this year yet!

Weve beaten Wigan a fair few times in recent years but hardly any at the kc where they have dominated us

You easily pass the memory test with just a small blip to record. Wigan scored 6 tries and only 1 goal for 26 points.

…. correct.

Just keeping everyone on their toes.

Context is pretty important no? Your game had much more at stake for both clubs. Most of us are pretty sure we're not going to give 100% for this game, and we'll rest anyone with a slight knock that ordinarily would play. It's a hard game to sell to most Hull fans. I'm fairly certain we'll bring more than your lot did to our place, as Leeds fans tend to get a nosebleed if they have to travel further than 40 miles.

we haven't won the GF because we haven't been good enough! like finally winning at wembley, the grand final is the next on the horizon, signings next season looking good so who knows

be a few more years before leeds get back there!

I'm pretty sure, I'll be really naffed of if we don't give 100%, no reason why we shouldn't

Look at the SL table
If we lose to Leeds and Cats and Cas win then we look very uncomfortable
Also losing to Leeds will be 2 losses in quick succession to 2 teams in the bottom 3

Surely to Goodness this can’t and must not happen

I agree. This season the competition is wide open. The only standout side are Saints and they're beatable in a one-off game.

We have an outstanding chance to get to our 2nd GF but we need to finish at worst 3rd I think to do so.

Given Wigan are improving we must play a strong side and win on Sunday.

If we don't I fear we'll end up 4th or even 5th and out at the first hurdle in the playoffs.

I never really expected to make the play-offs this season. We may miss out given 6 into 5 won't go but even if we do it's hardly a spectacular drama. Mid table, and a CC semifinal for the 3rd time in 4 years. Saints are fantastic this year and should take the treble with ease. Off the back of an 11 run losing streak and taking a raft of injuries into this year we've done well IMO and have made some good acquisitions. Plenty to feel good about.

The club tweeted yesterday that we've sold 1000+ away tickets for the tenth time this season which is a great effort but maybe not that surprising as we seem to be better away from the kcom

We are on track to win 3 league matches in a row against Leeds - we last did it 28 years ago. In the past 4 league games at Headingley in 3 of them we have lost by 2,3 and 4 points so pretty close matches. Would help if Ben Thaler is the referee as we have won our last 2 against them when he was officiating!

On a personal note the only Hull away league game I have been to since leaving the UK over 50 odd years ago was at Headingley in 2014 when Ellis played against his old club after returning from Aus. Remember a crowd of around 15,000 and losing 20-6.

Load of rubbish, we finish outside the 5 and lose the semi, surely from the position we are in now, that would be classed as a poor season. Regardless of expectations before the season had even started. You'd think, we had a good season, if we escaped relegation by a point. Sad

That’s a truly incredibly piece you’ve written there
Maybe Germany still keeping the Channel Islands would have been ok
To finish 6th and lose in a CC semi final is total garbage
It’s more ‘ Jam tomorrow ‘
It’s more and more mediocrity

I’m not having a pop at you but more the sentiment is something I have to call out

Agree 100%. We haven't had the injury excuse for at least the last 10 games, and we've certainly been no worse off than most teams in the league for months. Failing to make top5 after having a nice cushion in 3rd would be poor, but it wouldn't shock me with this team.

Hahahaha Nice try but that's too obvious trolling.

There's only one appropriate response:
