White Knight

Safe journey.

Assume there’ll be the usual healthy travelling army heading over later today Fevrover?

As you say HK, a massive game. Bring it on!

Must say it’s getting tight at the top after the Widnes Toulouse result. A couple of four pointers today: Barrow entertain the Bulls whilst Halifax take on Oldham. It’s turning into one hell of a competition. Up the Knights!

Would be good to see the 1895 cup too.

Interesting that the bookies seem to see us as underdogs pretty much no matter who we play. It’s time they woke up and smelt the coffee. ️

Heard that Fev have sold around 700.

I think from recollection Fev were flying high in the Championship in 2021 and only the most diehard Knights fans expected anything other than a Fev win. That said, your numbers do look a bit odd! As it was the Knights dug deep and pushed Fev very close. This time around there is a belief that the Knights are not just going there to make up the numbers, but to win it!

The source: Our friend the Gamecaller. More than 2,000 Bradford Bulls supporters are set to travel to the LNER Stadium an eagerly anticipated semi-final match in the 1895 Cup against their rivals, the York Knights on Sunday. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with two of the Championships form teams aiming to secure their place in the final at Wembley next month. Bradford have already seen Batley, Halifax and Oldham break their attendance records this season with sizeable away support. The latest attendance record to break on Sunday is 4,221 which was the very first game between the sides in the modern era back in 2018. Joe Keyes securing a dramatic 22-20 win for the Bulls after the hooters had gone.

When they refer to a record crowd in this context i think it’s the matches between the Knights and the Bulls. I think it stands at about 4,200 set at Bootham Crescent a few years ago. Out of interest, The LNER stadium record stands at around 8400. Capacity is 8500.

Every chance there’s going to be a record crowd. And why wouldn’t there be? Both clubs in great form. Matches between the clubs have been very close. Think the Knights will have the edge. Knights by 8.

Still reflecting on a pulsating match on Friday night. Just like to say how great the Knights Barmy Army were. Fantastic vocal support from start to finish. And, the numbers continue to grow.

Knights get 4 points start

Who is going on Friday? Expect there will be a big following from York.

Sold out - Hospitality & Premier Club for the first double header of the season. There’s still general admission tickets left.

Fantastic double header this weekend. First up the mighty Valks take on Fev at 12:00 for their first home game of the season and this is followed by the ever improving Knights who take on Donny in what is sure to be belter, a result that could see the Knights move into the top 6 if results go their way. Come on York RL fans let’s hear some noise for both our teams.

To put things in perspective there was just 1,600 at Odsal and over 1,400 at high flying Oldham. The 1895 cup isn’t the best supported competition going. Still, I’m not going to knock a trip to Wembley if the opportunity presents itself.

The draw for the semi finals of the AB Sundecks Cup will take place on Sunday April 13.

Looking forwards to seeing our new flying winger in action.

Couldn’t make the game last Sunday so really up for this. Hoping for another win and two valuable points. up the Knights!

Signs for Hull FC.

Official attendance 5,369 for KR game.
