Anybody running a coach?

It would be a great honour for the club if this comes off. Hopefully it can happen although we don't want it to cause any disruption to the start of next year's Super League.

to be honest i can't see 40k turning up for that but the prospect of a couple of weeks in Aus sounds good

A great opportunity for the club to raise its exposure Down Under, check out future signings and get in some warm weather training.

A nice trip too for anyone who can make it.

A good move if it happens.

Would be incredible if it were to happen. Pretty dubious about how likely it is to happen though.

Given Radders dislike of pre season friendlies you have to ask why. Think it would cause a massive disruption to our start of season.

I was actually told about this a few months back. My old man's mate told him we would be playing Wigan in the first Super League game next year, and to guess where we would be playing. My dad said London, which was a no; Toronto, which was a no....and then was told it would be in Australia. This actually came from Pearson, so it is being seriously discussed, but whether it comes off, I'm not sure.

....I thought they were discussing hull and wigan playing 2 friendlies against aussie sides?

If they end up playing each other as well, as long as it's our away fixture, then that's fine.

Why not plan it for the 2019 season give fans more opportunity to save and go?

the 9's tournament might be back on then. You know what the NRL are like, they change their mind too often, plus, this isn't confirmed yet.

who's home game will it be with that the fixture ? wigans' or fcs'? if its ours will we see a slight deduction in prices for our passes, maybe also the reason the club hasn't finalised details of the Direct Debit scheme too

id love to go but have a holiday in California to look forward too late october early november

If 2008 is anything to go by hundreds of Hull fans will be going to the RL World Cup this November. If i'd have known earlier i may have opted to see Hull in Australia rather than England.
However...........It won't go down well with the dragon but there can't be too many opportunities left for me to see the cream in Australia. Talked myself into it, I'm going

Too disruptive for me and I can't really see any upside to it for the club. It's not as if we're suddenly going to be signing SOO standard players on the back of it or signing up a major sponsor as a result of being dry humped in Sydney. Looking at how this year's 3 WCC participants have fared I'd rather we stayed well away from it.

Bah humbug

This is gonna take some grovelling !!!

Not going to get excited until it's confirmed, but would be huge for the club IMO. Something we could barely have dreamed about a few years ago.

Wonder if Sheldon has a spare bedroom?

I have mate but I live in London. And by the time this game is played I'll be more north than you.

Here we go
I've had it from the very top that it's almost a done deal
I'm not blabbing who but I'm telling you now we are as good as on
It's an hours flight from Melbourne and I'll be there with the family

We are going to have a heatwave pre match BBQ with a cold frothy one

so, not a done deal then

There's at least one travel agent advertising "watch this space, #HullFC", an announcement due soon.

'Almost certainly'

That's the email I got

I'll take that as 99% when it came from whom it did

I'm very excited

Andrew Earle?

History and experience dictate that I will believe it when its announced by the club.

Anyone planning anything before that is getting a bit previous.
