Which Bulls will turn up? Sheffield mode or Fev/Workington mode?

I'll stick my neck out and put us down for a win by 32

I am going to go us by 12.

Dewsbury always seem up for it against us. However I think (hope) the Workington game came at the right time to give our boys a swift kick up the backside that if they get complacent, they'll end up embarrassed.

On paper, we should be beating any of the teams left in the competition. However it's not played on paper. If we play like we did against Sheffield though, we will beat any of the remaining sides.

Can we ask to move the final to Old Trafford or Wembley to accommodate the massive crowd.

Have Dewsbury been subbed for a Hull Team??

Oh, I remember those days FC [ialways[/i used to bring over 45K and as for Rovers, well I'm sure we made all their games at Odsal all ticket, didn't we?

TBF KR always did bring a sizeable mob though. Noisy too.

Both Hull clubs brought good support, true enough. It was just that even[i their[/i, admittedly large following could never match the numbers claimed by their fans on the forums!

All part of a weird phenomenon. The main symptoms include a genetic ability to "know" what the size of a crowd is, just by looking at it. The innately divined attendance is invariably much less than any figure published, unless a case needs to be made for a tax fiddle, in which case there were obviously many more there than officially claimed.

A good frequent example of this is the figure for how many "own fans" were in attendance, where the published figures are perversely always several factors less than the thousands who actually attended. However the reason for that is not financial, but to disparage and do down the travelling hordes. Obvs.

But there are times when something odd IS going on. Our announced crowd at Batley for example was silly, and was subsequently revised upward. Even the revised figure was curiously low. The accompanying explanation from Batley basically amounted to "We lost count, probably over a 1000, dunno really".

You could be forgiven for questioning whether that's all a result of ineptitude or cunning.

Didn't see Diskin last weekend? If the u19's season is over, do you think we've let him go already?

If we win is the final the week after?

Maybe, when are you available?

Diskin has left the club I think - I'm pretty sure I read on the club website that his last game was the last academy game
