Robin Evans Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Nigh on perfect draw. Decent crowd. Bit of a jolly up. No extra games to fit in...... trouser the cash and concentrate on the league.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Pike Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Great Draw, Hull are good travelers.Would expect a crowd in excess of 5000 for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Apparently we haven't won the cup since 1973 according to Dave Woods during the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Satisfied with Hull F.C. at home at least we should get a good crowd,give Hull 3000 tickets and the railway end stands,we should be looking at 6000 spectators which would mean at least £40g to each club.Just hope we don't pick up injuries from the tie as our squad is a bit thin at present.

The Phantom Horseman Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Good job the RoversTV crew have got a couple of weeks to work out which game to include as their usual "RoversTV Gold" feature, can't think which one they might go for.

sentoffagain2 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Would be nice to invite players from both teams who played in the 1983 final to the game.They could parade before kick off or at half time and maybe have a drink or two together after the game,talking about the Good Old Days.

Auntie Ruth Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Brilliant draw, hope it’s not televised, think it will put some off travelling!! This needs to be well organised, probably be the biggest crowd we'll get this season. Hopefully we’ll come away unscathed and put in a decent performance, looking forward to it already.....

We are so big underdogs for this the bookies will not take any bets. Featherstone Rovers v the mighty Hull F C in a big cup match. Only one outcome obviously...

Agreed but as I understand it the BBC and Sky both have two games each to show live. I think those charged with game selection will discount the Catalan and Leigh games leaving four from six ties including Huddersfield v Wakefield which is less appealing than ours. Sunday at 3 pm, no telly, would be perfect but fear we may get a silly time on Saturday. Hope not but either way still can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve liked a decent run, i’m not disagreeing with you but it gives the players more confidence the further we go & i’m sure the club would earn more from 2/3 games.

Robin Evans Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just my musings F83. Cup competitions have been relegated in value over the years across all sports. I'd sooner concentrate wholly on the league and not risk any further injury by squeezing in mid-week games for the sake of a comp we can't win and is receiving diminishing interest. Trouser the cash from the opportunity a tie v Hull presents, then re-focus on the top 4. Ivreally hope its not the thursday night tie ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thursday night might not be as good for the speccies and the coffers, but it would give the players three days extra recovery time before the more crucial Leigh game the following weekend, which is on the Saturday rather than Sunday. If I was JD I'd want to play on the Friday even if not on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very into this. Anyone else go to see the Agar talk at the Tap and Barrel in Ponte last year? Screen some highlights from the 1983 final on the big screen before the match. Will be great to see a full stadium. FEATHERSTONE ROVERS, A GENERATIONAL LOVE AFFAIR, AND THE CALL OF HISTORY A SECOND TIME AROUND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also get some of the 83 team in giving them there shirts before the match . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
