There were a few little handbag sessions.

One involving me but nothing that spoilt the day.

Do you think if Hull City had a 75,000 seater stadium. Played Man United and filled it on the same day you were playing it wouldn't effect you lot.

Yes, it would affect us, but I'd still hazard a guess that we'd get 10k+

Do you plan to bring many to the KC by the way, or is it just going to be another Quins and Catalans situation with the North stand been closed?

In all honesty, yes probably. Can't see us bringing many on a Friday night all the way up to you.

You probably would get 10,000 but we're a very young club and we need to make sure we can run before we walk.

It's better to build slowly and sustain it then go for boom and bust.

Nothing in that, tbh there was a good vibe in the ground, and the match itself probably helped this.

I agree. Dissapointed though I was by your home support, I do understand the situation you're in.

Is your support increasing year on year? I really hope so, cause we had a scream going down to your place. Also as you've previously mentioned, maybe it'd be a good idea for Hull FC to think about changing the day of the home game against yourselves, aswell as Quins & Catalans, although I very much doubt they will.

I think it would have a positive effect if it was moved to a Saturday evening, even a Sunday 3pm kick off would be better.

Our support is increasing year on year and I think we will see bigger crowds against Leeds, Wigan, Saints and Bradford no disrespect to you lot.

The main thing is getting them to come back. I think once they come they will want to come back again and again as it knocks spots off the domestic union game down here.

i think its more about how big a name some league clubs are in wales. Hull FC are a great league club in one of the great league heartlands but they are not that well known in wales. the 'big four' of the superleague era are, although i think saints and wigan come pretty well ahead of leeds and bradford within that.

Because our main aim is to enlighten the union lot it would be very much like GB playing Australia at a 75,000 seater stadium just down the road when you're trying to get a crowd for some normal league game.

Cardiff City and Swansea City change their kick offs in accordance with the union internationals and they've been around years so we are far from untouchable on that front.

Encouraging start for us though and we appreciated what you brought down. Very good support.

It would a little....they share the stadium.

Not that Mr Duffen seems to realise
