I think Rafa will put out his strongest team; beating a Premier League team, albeit not a very good one, will be a real statement of intent for him - we might just be the underdogs here.
Eddie the Octopus was on sportstalk tonight & he said it's nailed on that Diamé will score a worldie at the Allam Astrodome, not only is it written in the stars, it's witten by eight tentacles in the goldfish bowl
http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/...newcastle-cup-clash-3387792.aspx?site=desktop Cheap tickets and minimum number of geordies. Nice.
They're good prices, though I'm not sure it will be enough to fill the place, there's still plenty not going on principal. Presumably, Newcastle will still get 3,750 tickets, so will take an increased portion of the North.
The minimum in the rules is 10% so I would guess that is what they'll get as the club statement says we turned down a request for more than the minimum in rules.
It's a sensible move with the ticket pricing. However, it'll take more than that to entice those back who've been pissed off with the club's attitude towards fans.
*yawn*.. those that dont want to go cos of their "princpials"? let em cut their nose off to spite their face
If I find staff at a restaurant rude and arrogant, I'm not exactly going to go rushing back am I? Instead of criticising stay away fans, I'd be asking questions about why it has come to the point where fans feel unwelcome at the club they support.
