Anyone going down to support Hull FC then? ;)


Apparently Acklams are taking 71 coaches, Hull Trains have doubled to 10 carriages and Hull FC have sold 13,000 tickets.


What you reckon the outcome will be?

13,000 tickets sold out of 15,000? It is indeed a rugby mad city.
 
I'm an FC fan through and through although I promised the kids to go to the Norwich game (Before FC beat Warrington).

Although, I'd probably still go to the KC instead of Wembley anyway as I honestly find football matches atmosphere to be ten times better.
 
I'm a Rovers fan and a City fan hence my name. With FC being from 'Ull i'll be hoping they'll win but I won't be shout and screaming when/if they score, I have got me limits ;)
 
Been getting more comments today from dimwit females who pretend to follow the rugby when I tell them I'm at City this weekend.

They shouldn't ask me my plans!

"I'm watching another Hull team instead, a proper man's sport" they slur out, almost incomprehensibly.

By that, they mean they watch one game every 5 years if one of them reaches a final and their fat husbands have punched that belief into them.

"There'll be 25,000 people at the KC this weekend" I retort, "which will be more Hull folk than will be down at Wembley...FACTOID".

Then they say I'm in a mood.

I can't win.
 
Golly a whole 13,000! If I was an FC fan I'd keep that quiet, not start shouting about other sports not moving their games to suit this massive event. An FC fan texted into Sportstalk last night to brag about the sign he'd put up on the A63: "Last one out, turn off the lights." It's a third of the people who went to Wembley for the Championship play-off final...
 
13,000 isn't clever, I'm surprised, for a Wembley final you'd expect to double the average home attendance.

It's a shame for them that there's a football match on.

I saw that sign at about 5am this morning, coming back into Hull from Huddersfield.

It's so bad... they wrote 'Come on boy's'! How ****ing bad is that?
 
13,000 have been sold through the club, the rfl also sell tickets.

It's estimated 22,000 - 24,000 tickets have been sold to Hull fans so far.

Corrected that for you. I know some going for a trip that have never been to a rugby match, but the tickets and travel are so cheap it seemed an opportunity for a day out and a look around Wembley.

Can't argue with that, same for any major game.

I know plenty of people with no interest in City that went to the play-off final, it's just what happens for games like this.

This is not in the same planet as the play off final. <laugh>
