Willowred on the other forum has asked if it's been moved to the Saturday?

Anyone any the wiser?

There has to be at least 4 weeks notice given if a game is to be switched so by my reckoning they only have another couple of days to announce it if true.

You sure?

I imagine that this will be the one and only time I ever know anything about anything! I here that it's more or less definitely on Sky and as the slots for that weekend are Friday @8pm and Saturday @6pm the Saturday slot looks the most likely.

I certainly won't be going for a drinkypoo's around town that Saturday if this is the case, crazy idea.

I understand City play away at Sheff too that day from what I have read, just in time for their idiot element to join the element both our teams have for a drunken free for all up town.

Thought the derby games had to kick off around lunch time due to the idiots who like a fight???

Hope I'm wrong though as I'm away for this game so would be happy to watch it in a pub

Be a stupid idea for me, if true will really make me think twice on taking the bairn which is wrong.

Police won't want it, Sky may well do......who has the power?

Totally agree, without provoking a "whose got the bigger muppet element of fans debate" (we all know in our heart of hearts it's you lot

) this seems a crazy idea.

I just hope we've got a large surplus in our security budget.

I can't see it being on tv at 6pm. Which is a shame really

6pm live on Sky on the Saturday replacing the Celtic game , clubs to share costs of additional policing required.

The last three games suggests different





Seriously, I really hope this doesn't happen, a full day on the pop for many, probably in baking sun, fans planning to hit the town afterwards...potential for a nightmare scenario, a scenario I don't wanna involve my kids in.
There has been trouble up town/Princes Ave after the last couple of derbies once people have hit the drink, this time the booze will be hit before...NO, NO and THRICE NO!!!.

Why would Hull FC pay for the policing??

I suggest you leave your kids at home....there more bother then a couple of our lot going at it

Fair point, Harrie Leigh will be there for sure now, if only to protect us lot

Just remember tell her not to use her Shoe this time, she got done for it last time

Ha Ha, did you know she is actually a relation of a HKR manager??





Common sense must prevail, we do not need to be making the headlines for the wrong reasons.

I really never thought that such a commited, dedicated and skillful angler such as yourself would (ahem) bite on my worm.

It's times such as these that being an out of towner facing a 170 mile round trip for games is a positive.
Unless it turns out to be my turn to drive, which if it is does anyone know where I can get hold of a second hand Sherman tank?

It would be great to think that this could a marvelous summer event, along the lines of Glyndebourne, the reality is it's more likely to be Brighton Rock.

Not a bite chief, just laying some more groundbait





You are right, it has the potental to be a superb event, BBQ's , entertainment blah blah.....too many fools on both sides though.

Can't happen.

I really hope this doesn't get switched, as Stan rightly points out, this could hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. I've seen too many beer-fuelled flashpoints over the last 2 seasons to feel that this could pass without incident.

It will come down to a Sky v Police debate, and I can't see Sky winning, but if they do, then they should assist Rovers financially for the additional policing cover that will be required.

12 noon Sunday is the best for this fixture.

There are a few people I would like to see get a crack, perhaps the car park can be reserved for this with proper stewerding and medical assistance.

Cos you're all louts and most likely to kick off.
