It a bit of a trek on a Thurs evening but I think I'll be making the trip over. It'll be nice going to Craven Park and not paying an extortionate price though!

Unfortunately for me, Thursday nights are out. It's an odd day to pick for a game to begin with.

It being a Thursday night is what's stopping me. Plus I won't be finishing work until at least 6 o'clock, which will mean picking up passenger and getting over there is cutting it fine anyway. Not worth the hassle for a friendly really, even though I'd like to see the game.

How much are they charging for tickets out of interest?

£12.

Good of them to actually charge a normal fee then, well done KR.

Shame other sides we've played this year couldn't do the same (except Cas of course, who did).

Possibly forced by RFL due to the season launching on the Fri? Obviously we wouldn't want the game any later due to us playing our first SL match the following Friday.

and still hasn't posted on their own forum

Should be a good game. Think he will play a strong team.

Alas it's often the opposite that is true as some well known numpty tries to cover his tracks. It's all I can do to be bothered keeping up

Well there is five of us going over on the train.

Remember that the gate is a shared gate on Thursday due to the Stanley Gene transfer from 2006, so we as a club will be getting half.

Looking forward to this game now, now that Matt Orford definitely making his debut

Full strength although I do doubt that we will have the full side out for the whole of the 80 minute duration.

Referee: Richard Silverwood

The last time he took charge of this fixture, all hell was let loose as he gave a Super League record 34 penalties (21 of which went to Hull KR).

We lost 20-18 that day.

Well it would seem so mate.

I just hope the club don't say he's playing and then when we get into the ground Thursday and see the state of the pitch and then find out he's not playing.

The pitch isn't in a "state"
