It's a 5.45pm kick off!!!

Just one excuse after another with some people. The game will finish at about 7.20. I will travel the best part of 60 miles to get home and I reckon I will be back for 8.30. I am certain anyone actually living in the hull area could be home and their kids in bed for 8pm if they really wanted.

Are you suggesting that the 20k crowd that attended the derby in 2010, on a Thursday night, were worried about school?

We are going to have just about our strongest team available against a team who are not that strong and therefore there should be a few tries on view.

If there is less than 12k there then it's a disappointing turn out.

We play five of our thirteen home games before the end of March!

Weather shouldn't really have a big effect on attendances. It'll probably be more down to form.

If it's on form then you would think that matching last season shield winners, who have subsequently won their other two games, would indicated our form is on the positive side.

Just getting off the car park can take 10-15 minutes, then I would have to travel back to South Yorkshire. We wouldn't get my son in bed till at least 9, which is too late for a not-quite-five-year-old who has to be at school the next day.

Quite agree. Speaking about locally based fans, the time of kick off whilst not ideal should not be reason enough to miss the game.

I didn't start watching Hull FC until I was about 8 but remember plenty of Wednesday night games on school nights, so Sunday evening with no school shouldn't be a problem for kids tomorrow.

Same here a 5 year old next month would have been attending if 3pm KO, but traveling back to West Yorks would mean getting back around 9 - 9.15 which is too late. As an SPH I'll still be coming though.

I'm sure the True Fans will all be there.

Re: Predictions...London : Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:39 pm  

What's the point taking a 4 year old anyway. Surely they're not interested in sitting still for 2 hours?
