I don't actually mind the BBC coverage, makes for a refreshing change from the usual SKY goons and i generally think it is done well considering it is only on a few times a year. I also had a fair few people at work pull me and talk about the game. people who were not really RL fans, even RU fans, and all said how much they enjoyed it.

The BBC coverage is top stuff. It just needs less Jonathan Davies.

I agree and just about everyone I know says they need to get rid of Jonathon Davies as well.

Agree 100%

Yep, they should have cut him years ago from the RL coverage. Seems far more at home with the Union lot.

Talented player, poor commentator.
He has stopped saying "simple" quite as much as he used to so, I guess we should be grateful for small mercies

Mark Chapman is an excellent presenter.

Why blame neutrals for a "low" attendance?
Hull sold 25000 tickets themselves, Wire 13000. If they'd matched Hull, this would have been far better.

Anfd yet jiffy was the only one to point out the late shoulder charge on Sneyd in the 30 seconds and was bang on with Atkins taking Fonua out on the short restart which Kear was having none of when it was patently obvious it was an obstruction.
As for that idiot Dave Woods, frankly he's a bag of poop. AS much as I detest Sky Woods couldn't touch Hemmings from a few years ago and Ray French was better in his earlier days which says a lot to what I think of Woods.
That the dissed Tommy 'Bomber' Harris in the commentary stating he got the Lance Todd out of sympathy just shows what a facking know nowt gobe he is.
The sooner the RFL drag the CC away from the BBC the better, either that or force them to actually advertise the game beforehand which they really didn't and get rid of Woods/Kear and also make the SL show something hald decent, 45 minutes padded out with guff is a disgrace

Bring back Clare Balding!

That is tickets through the clubs. Plenty would have got them from the RFL direct.

Aye, it was estimated that there was just under 30,000 Hull fans.

My point is still the same, almost double sold via the club. It was patently obvious to anyone at the game that Hull had a vastly superior following, which considering they are the top two teams, was poor. When the game was over and the Wire fans had gone, you could see this.

If it had been Hull v Leeds, the gate would be 85,000+, I have no doubt.

So this in fact, tells us Hull have more glory seeking fans than Warrington?
