Point taken but wasn't it you who scoffed at the notion there were 10,000 in the MKM that day? I don't think you can have it both ways. Anyway besides that, although the MKM is obviously far bigger than we need on a week to week basis it does gives us the opportunity to make the derby games into a major event and one of the few regular round rugby league games that draws a 20,000+ attendance. It makes it a real rugby league occasion rather than just a little local spat. Also, it wouldn't take much of an upturn in Hull's fortunes for us to be drawing crowds of 14,000-15,000 again for the bigger games. If we ever were in the unlikely position of moving to a ground of our own we wouldn't be using Craven Park as a model either. Though improved to an extent, I still think it's an ugly hotchpotch of a ground that would take an awful lot of money just to upgrade it to a modest standard.

I'll leave the frog kissing to you, mate, if it's all the same.

Decided to give it another chance and had a pint of the Hell in the Old Town in Hull (Scale and Feather for those wanting to give it a try). It was actually pretty decent.

As is that. Bravo!

Spot on.

There was an article in the Hull Daily Mail a while back about the terms and conditions that the crews now work under on the Hull to Rotterdam crossing. They're little more than modern day slavery.

The backlash left them with no other option.

It was utterly brilliant. Really sorry to hear he's passed away.

Agree with all of that. He's a potential wrecking ball of a human.

Along with Hull and City, Rovers were given the opportunity to play at the KC/MKM when it was first built. They politely and sensibly declined. It would have been a suicidal move for them. Hull were just popping across Anlaby Road so remained in the heart of their community, Rovers would have been abandoning theirs.

No idea, mate. That's why I'm staying out of it.

What brilliant news.

Hoy was great for your team today. Hope he keeps it going.

Pleased Cas at least got a point. They deserved it.

Great stuff whatever happens now.
