It was the same last year. Not sure why though.



Well, what happens in Hull stays in Hull eh?

Unfortunately as its on Sky that may not be the case this time

Although the police presence on the day will be significant so hopefully that will put off the numpties that seem to appear on derby day.

The only time police are in the Jungle is when Hull and KR visit.

Which seems odd as in all my visits to the Jungle (as an FC fan) I've never seen any real trouble?

It's just when KR visit, must be the air in East Hull? as you say we never have a problem with the FC supporters, just the opposite in fact.

Deary me. Is this because of the bottles thrown on the pitch a few weeks ago do you think? I did notice that there was quite a few policemen there on Sunday (more than usual, anyway).

No, it's because KR bring 68,000 fans, so the early kick off is to stop some of those from travelling.

Also, there have been instances with alcohol in the past from both clubs so it's to stop people from drinking bucketloads early.

Police are always there for both Hull teams, last year it was an early kick off for KR and the Princess street stand was littered with bottles at that time, I think it's because the police don't want 20,000,000 drunk KR fans knocking around

I've never heard of any trouble with Hull FC at Cas either.

Indeed. I was stood at the Railway End and thought I heard such an announcement. However, the tannoy at that end isn't the best so I asked for confirmation which I've now received. Police request, apparently.

I thought i heard him say that it was because the Club are making it a family fun day with stuff happening on the training pitches after the game typical Cas tho nowt on official site about it and a 'Norman Collier' style announcement in the Princess street stand!

One good thing tho the long awaited next issue of the Fanzine should be available then
