Got my ticket, but how many other forms of ID are required to gain entry?

I'm really looking forward to blowing off some cobwebs and seeing some of the new lads.

Rally Round............

Who else is venturing over to the dark side?

I don't usually go to this friendly but was going to go because of the amount of new players on show so was hoping I could pay on the gate but it seems there is going to be a lot of messing about so I'm not bothering

They are operating a number of pay on the day turnstiles for this game.

If that's the case I'll probably go

Get yourself Frankie, reckon it will be a good game with both teams taking it more serious than previous years with the squad Hull have named and the way Chester has been talking.

Im heading over to support my team but fear we are heading straight into an ambush. To be fair to Radders he seems to have got things spot on this pre season and had them all back in on 1st November. Plus they all had a game last week to blow the cobwebs off. We will be a long way behind in our preparations due to our players arriving in dribs and drabs, our captain only arrived 2 weeks ago, plus most havnt had a game yet. And we have injuries!
Crikey its going to be a hiding!

It's not possible for any team to take this more seriously than FC did last year. Never seen such exuberance after a try.

Hi Stan

I think FC need this one more than ever. They need to convince fans without season passes to go out of their way to buy a ticket should they decide to attend a game next season.

no injuries and ill be happy

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bingo

Everyone's saying the same.

No really.

Are you that boring you have sent yourself to sleep?

Yeah, they performed well in their games last week by all accounts and seem to have come through some of the issues that plagued them last year. I'm expecting them to be improved on last season, over the course of the coming one, certainly.
No idea what Rovers will be, which is both fascinating and scary. First real hints today, I guess - and as there's very little on the result, it should offer an opportunity to make some dispassionate, if very, very preliminary, assessments.

Agree 100%.

Think we came through the game injury free which is always a bonus. 1st hit out for the 1st team lads so with that in mind it was a cracking result. Pace really evident but how did people think we went at dummy half? Campese a natural leader by all accounts, Welham still jumping out the line and where did Dixon pick his kicking boots up from. Wow

Decent game probably the best friendly we have had, Kelly 2nd half was amazing and could be the signing of the season, Dixon great going forward but awful at FB. Sio looks a great finishers also.

Game of two halfs and plenty to be positive, except injuries for both teams.

1st half we lacked the intensity to match Hull's forwards and as a result they found yards easy to come by. 2nd half was a different kettle of fish though and maybe an indicator of what we can expect. We need our pack to give the team a platform and if that happens we might be royally entertained.

Kelly was brilliant for the Welham try, he's a real game changer. Hope all the injuries for both sides are just minor knocks.

Fadge of the day goes to Jamie Shaul

Apparently Mantelattos injury was one he picked up in training and he'd aggravated it slightly.

That a pretty fair summary. I felt our forwards had the upper hand for much of the game, but your boys produced the flashes of brilliance and were really clinical when you got chances. Kelly on that evidence will do really well for you, as will Sio. Dixon scored a great try but made mistakes, Campese was very quiet, but given the length of time he's been here that was probably to be expected.

You'll have to elaborate on that last one though.

Good game to watch, bearing in mind it was our first real outing, it was very promising.
Kelly as every one is saying was class, Dixon very very quick.in the second half we began to see flashes of , what hopefully will be on show in SL.
Really enjoyed the game, bring on the new season.
From a BW view Minichello looks the real deal, the old boy Pryce looks what he is old and slow.

Mrs B will understand.

I thought campese did all the basics very well when we was under the cosh 1st half his kicks hit the ground or found touch every time then 2nd half when I thought green and allgood got us on the front foot and started punching holes then campese stepped back and let Kelly take over in attack, I think potentially there looking a really good pairing

Can I just add, great shot at the end from young Josh Guzdek to put Lineham into the West Stand! Good lad.
