But any score would produce the same miserable witterings from the terrible trio of Hadfield, Irvine and Wilson.

I'm quite looking forward to it actually...

CORRECT however given the fact that RL fans on the whole prefer to stand then only 500 left could be good news.How many standing places have been sold?On the subject of RFL press releases himler would be proud of them:( 99% are a pile of tosh and treat the RL public as is if they were idiots.CM

I actually quite like rugby league. So having a game on terrestial TV in November with some exciting players like Bosc and Watkins played in front of a full house seems like happy days to me!

Come on England!

The good news is that there are only 500 seats remaining. The bad news is that there are only 500 seats in the stadium to start with.

The "500 left" was to do with the 499 capacity car park.

Sadly, the car park attendant can't make it either.

On 13/2/2013, Hull City's owners the Allams, released a statement in their position as the owners of the KC Stadium Management Committee. One line in this statement read as follows....

"The SMC's principal responsibility is to remain neutral"

Read via twitter Sean McGuire really slating this game and the RFL.

Its a funny thing but I don't recall earth shaking events whilst he was involved in RL?

I think he is full of shot.

No, it wasn't.

Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.
