Off Topic Good Luck Hull FC

Don't normally watch RL on the telly but know one or two of their fans who have made the long trek to Doncaster for the game tonight. They seem to be quite well followed unlike Wigan Wildcats who seem to be boycotting this one.

Hull are having a great season with Ronnie Radford at the helm and a top 10 finish definitely looks on the cards.
Should they get to Wembley, they might consider getting Phil Brown or Steve Bruce in advisors on how to win there.

Too early for an entertainment rating, but the atmosphere seems to be a tepid 5/10 in the half empty League 2 football ground.

 

Some of the 7000 tIckets were still on sale yesterday evening.
Children under 2 were FOC but a ticket was needed.Is that a concession?
Seriously who would take a 1+ child to Doncaster for an 8pm KO

 

And to think some folk reckoned the ground would be too small.

 

Commentators keep saying how Hull fans have travelled in numbers on the onerous journey of just over 40 miles.
However the journey from Wigan posed insurmountable difficulties for most of their fans. To be fair it is 80 miles or so.

 

It's one hell of an achievement to just get to the semi-final.

 

Yes, those couple of games you have to win in order to get there can be pretty tricky.

 

Apologies to any expats or younger fans who may be upset or distressed by some of the content of this thread,

 

**** rugby full hull fc **** em all

 

Hilarious.

No seriously, that is hilarious.

FFS.

 

'Its a difficult game to get too for the Wigan fans'......one over excited commentator
However had to chuckle at the pre match stats.....'Wigan have won the Cup at Wembley nineteen times, and appeared in a Final thirty odd times, Hull FC have appeared three times at Wembley and never won there......'

 

Fair play to the Wigan lad who's had his nose smashed all over his face.

'The doctor has manipulated the nose so he can breath'.

He's still on the pitch, some of the fairies that play football should take note.

Elmo particularly.

 

Yes, you certainly have to admire the fitness and toughness of modern day rugby players. Of both codes. They certainly show up a lot of footballers.

 

here goes the Hull FC hating ref (commonly known in rugby league by the way ) ... lets see if they hold out

 

Come on Hull

 

That was a good game

 

Did we win?

 

Will ticketmaster get to do the tickets.....

 

Well done Hull FC.

We enjoyed our day at Wembley back in May; I hope you all do too
