    I'll be playing football at Ferriby, so I'll take in the U23s game there.

    There's thousands swilling around in local schools apparently for a quid each.

    As it's half term this week, they aren't much good in schools.

    They've been in the schools for a couple of weeks.

    I would be giving them away instead of charging a pound in schools. Good opportunity to get kids to come and watch.

    I think you will get a mixture of squad players who haven't been getting game time and U23/U18's.

    Why promote this game to kids in particular when they're so against doing that for normal games? Are kids going to be enchanted by this game and want to come back? Unlikely, whereas for Burnley they may well have done.

    Cannot answer that.
    I assume the game is more for the benefit of the sponsors then anyone else. They are trying to promote the game and their brand across Africa which is why we are playing a team from Kenya and City have sent staff over there to promote the club and I suppose the sponsors on the back of it. I hear the game is to be televised live in Africa so the sponsors will no doubt have put a few quid behind this and will be expecting a decent game and a reasonably team representing City. The admission price is as low as the club can charge without opening the gates for free and don't think that would have been an option because of Health @ Safety and numbers etc attending inside a sports stadium.
    I think its worth supporting and who knows City might discover a player or two for the future ?

    Does anyone know if Walton Street car park will be in use .
    Hopefully it will be free but I bet it isn't.

    Walton St car park was free for the Swansea FA Cup game so maybe the same will apply.

    Kenya: Hull City to Field 'Just a Few Regulars' Against Sportpesa All Stars



    By Cellestine Olilo
    Hull City will field a mixed line-up comprising both first team players and those from the development teams for Monday's friendly match against Kenya's SportPesa All Stars.

    Andrew Stead, the Hull City Tigers' Partnerships Executive, who was actively involved in the selection of the 18 players for the friendly, told Nation Sport on Wednesday that there will be "just a few" first team members in the Hull City team that will play All Stars at the KCOM stadium on Monday.

    "The team selection is really up to the coach, but there will definitely be a few players from the first team there. We, however, expect that a number of the first team will be rested for that match to give room for the younger players from the lower age group teams.

    "There is no reason to worry, really, because it is only a promotional match and so the players' performance will also be friendly," he said with a slight chuckle after receiving the first batch of the travelling party which included team manager Neville Pudo and physiotherapist Wycliffe Omom and assistant coach Patrick Naggi.

    The rest of the contingent left Nairobi early Wednesday morning, and were expected to touch down at the Heathrow Airport in London at 5.30pm.


    After that, they will make the four-hour trip to Kingston Upon Hull by road in readiness for the friendly match against the English Premier

    League strugglers.


    The All Stars team is made up of local-based players drawn from teams that featured in the SportPesa Premier League last year.

    The 18 were part of a larger team of 47 players which was culled down in January (over a period of two weeks) by four Hull City coaches Richard O'Donnelle, Daniel O'Keeffe, Terry Boyle and Dean Windass.

    The quartet was actively involved in the week-long training session at Kasarani, and were helped in making the final selection by Harambee Stars coach Stanley Okumbi and Pudo.

    The match against Hull City Tigers will be played at 10pm EAT on February 27 at the KCOM Stadium in Hull, and a return match has been scheduled for July this year at Kasarani.

    On Sunday at Kasarani, the team drew 0-0 with newly promoted premier league side Kariobangi Sharks in a friendly match.

    There's none at my school?

    Maybe it's only select ones. We've worked with Kickz and Tigers Trust recently so if school's do have them, it's surprising we weren't one of them.

    How will it be 10pm anywhere when it kicks off at 6.30 here?

    I thought timezones were in one hour chunks?
