What a tremendous following considering the distance, give yourselves a big pat on the back if you went



Not sure on the official attendance, but I very much doubt the 2 guys at gate [inext[/i to the turnstiles were doing a head-count when letting in



Anyways...

Speaking to a Welsh guy, he told me we were lucky to see as many Celtic fans as we did, and that if Wales Rugby Union had been playing we'd of had "the ground to ourselves", which is a little dissapointing to hear, but not totally unexpected.

Cheers to Wolfie for putting on a great trip, but I must say it'l be nice to have Neil behind the wheel again soon!!

At least I can now say Ive been over the Severn Bridge, and to Burton on Trent

And to Burton upon Trent







Was a cracking weekend and a great following to the game

Just managed to slip that in before you posted



What was that pub called again mate? I cant remember for the life of me

I bet Hardcore's £2 is still in the duke-box aswell

The Anchor

Thats the one



Anyone ever seen Roughest Pubs in Britain on SKY 1?

Hope he gave you all some of them FREE tickets he got

Aye







although the one we went in with the live band in Swansea will have been on that too

It is a good job we'll make sure we aren't playing at home when the Welsh International Union Team are then isn't it.

He couldn't have meant club union games as one was going on in Llanelli and that wasn't too damaging.

No I think he meant the International team. All of his mates said the same as he did, FWIW.

I'd probably say the same.

Do you think if Hull City had a 75,000 seater stadium. Played Man United and filled it on the same day you were playing it wouldn't effect you lot.

Because our main aim is to enlighten the union lot it would be very much like GB playing Australia at a 75,000 seater stadium just down the road when you're trying to get a crowd for some normal league game.

Cardiff City and Swansea City change their kick offs in accordance with the union internationals and they've been around years so we are far from untouchable on that front.

Encouraging start for us though and we appreciated what you brought down. Very good support.

i hear there was a small set to between a couple of hull fans in the ground??

There were a few little handbag sessions.

One involving me but nothing that spoilt the day.

Yes, it would affect us, but I'd still hazard a guess that we'd get 10k+

Do you plan to bring many to the KC by the way, or is it just going to be another Quins and Catalans situation with the North stand been closed?

In all honesty, yes probably. Can't see us bringing many on a Friday night all the way up to you.

You probably would get 10,000 but we're a very young club and we need to make sure we can run before we walk.

It's better to build slowly and sustain it then go for boom and bust.

Nothing in that, tbh there was a good vibe in the ground, and the match itself probably helped this.

I agree. Dissapointed though I was by your home support, I do understand the situation you're in.

Is your support increasing year on year? I really hope so, cause we had a scream going down to your place. Also as you've previously mentioned, maybe it'd be a good idea for Hull FC to think about changing the day of the home game against yourselves, aswell as Quins & Catalans, although I very much doubt they will.

I think it would have a positive effect if it was moved to a Saturday evening, even a Sunday 3pm kick off would be better.

Our support is increasing year on year and I think we will see bigger crowds against Leeds, Wigan, Saints and Bradford no disrespect to you lot.

The main thing is getting them to come back. I think once they come they will want to come back again and again as it knocks spots off the domestic union game down here.

agree about leeds, wigan and saints but i think you over estimate the bulls travelling support

i think its more about how big a name some league clubs are in wales. Hull FC are a great league club in one of the great league heartlands but they are not that well known in wales. the 'big four' of the superleague era are, although i think saints and wigan come pretty well ahead of leeds and bradford within that.

It would a little....they share the stadium.

Not that Mr Duffen seems to realise

he probably didn't realise we share it with england rl.

Tell Mr Duffen that mate and get his decision reveresed.

good idea.

I was referring more to the Welsh public turning out for the more known teams down here.

As I say no disprespect to Hull FC but people tend to know the teams mentioned a bit more.

I know they do, I have been there for the football before.

I think you used it as much for the dig at Duffen as anything though.
