Who in their right mind would pay the French millions to control and stop the crossing of illegal immigrants when its in their own interests to get rid of them

Landslide 80 seat majority backing boris's oven deal sounds pretty strong and unified.

It's those pesky civil servants that did it

You've been duped mate. Like millions of others.

Any news on that massive trade deal with the US?

Good job the weathers been dry or the pitch could well have been worse than a ploughed field. That said whoever thought it was a good idea to gave two concerts and a SL derby all in the same week needs to give their head a wobble.

Hopefully regardless of the result we won’t pick up any injuries attributed to a poor pitch.

Looks to be a warm dry game day.

Hopefully we’ll see the same level of performance, line speed and intensity we saw against St’s in the league game.

If Pete Townsend still smashes his guitar up it better not get on the pitch.

Health and safety rules should be followed.

I think we may we the concert bubble deflating a bit, too much competition and too high prices for old acts who havent had a hit in younger peoples lifetimes. There was a lot of pent up demand last year and concerts rescheduled from 2020, now itll be a harder sell for acts who arent A list.

Crap advertising too, I live round the corner from Craven park unfortunately & didn’t know about the concerts till a workmate told me they were going to Rod Stewart.

One of the best selling live albums of the early 70's The Who Live at Leeds was in fact 90% recorded at Hull City Hall and I was there and it was great but so so loud Oh and it was packed!!

I was on the front row just to the right, Moon left stage after banging his gong and said, “gong with the wind” think he meant he needed the loo Thought it was ABC when they recorded it to be fair.

Well, only Griffin missing from the squad really - we should be beating them this weekend.

I expect a really good performance

Squads out. We should I think. Interesting to see across the two squads there is:
9 fc academy graduates
4 rovers academy graduates.

That’s with us missing Litten and McNamara and then missing Abdul.

I’m also hoping the investment in our academy pays dividends. It’s the way forward

It must must rare that a club can field just about their strongest team at this stage of the season.

Still expecting a defeat though.
