Not going either.

I don't like Blackpool anyway, to be honest, and a day spent wandering around there followed by us being thumped by KR is something I feel I can easily miss and I would do even if the event were free. Having to pay for it is just beyond where my mind is at, at present.

I'd sooner in mi hands and clap than watch, even on telly....fox hunting, RFL style. Not for me.

I'm not going, I may go Sunday for the Sheffied game

I wonder how many Bulls fans, after an afternoon on the lash, will just stay in the pub and watch it on Sky. I think that would probably get my vote even if I'd bought a ticket

I'm going. To be honest we're going for the beer and the trip away with the lads, we're going to get hammered, we know we are......but the rugby might just sober us up.

An ex-Bull Lewis Charnock now playing for Barrow is apparently on Hull KR's radar - does anyone have anyone information on the player ie would he be a good signing. Rovers are also intereested in Joe Bullock (Barrow)

No thanks. I've never seen how these daft fixtures fit into a regular league format and this year is grossly unfair on our club even before we imploded. In any case Hull KR must be odds on to take us to the cleaners again.

Feel sorry for anyone going to watch that!

We only had him on loan at the back end of last season from Saints. To be honest, I liked him. The sort of hard working little half back that whilst not spectacular, he puts full effort in and has enough skill to play the position without looking out of place. Sort of player I think we could really do with now to be honest, a right little tough nut. Not convinced he'd improve Rovers' squad that much though with the likes of Abdull, Ellis, Dockar-Clay & Lunt already there.

should be hull kr - London
fev batley
Halifax Bradford etc

league positions last year better crowd on each day then as well

Hull KR fans are planning a minutes applause on the 22nd minute, I'm sure the bulls fans will play their part too. https://twitter.com/ashkitson1867/statu ... 2328954885

Watched Barrow a good few times this season and Charnock has been excellent. Bullock has been immense for the last few seasons, hard to tell how he'd go at Championship but he certainly wouldn't take a backwards step!

Can't see why either would leave to play periodically with you though, can't see them displacing anyone in your current squad.

I don't think this will be as one sided as most people are predicting. As for the format I don't see why the matches have to be decided so early, Why can't it be a 1st plays 2nd - 3rd plays 4th etc... Keeps it competitive and makes nearly every game an important 4 pointer. Maybe set the match ups 3 weeks-ish in advance to allow coaches to prepare. So go on the position at week 10 or 11.

Simple, because it's all about the crowd. If you wait until 3 weeks in advance before deciding what the games are based on league position, fans don't know if they are playing on the Saturday or the Sunday, so will withhold buying tickets (except those going for the full weekend). There'll then be a 3 week mad dash for people to buy tickets for the day their team is playing on, as well as potentially booking hotels and transport.

The only way you could leave the exact matches until later in the season is if you picked 6 sides to play Saturday and 6 sides to play Sunday early on, and then decided the matches from those 6 closer to the day.
