| Looking on the bright side (someone has to ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) ), yesterdays result means there will c30,000 people in Warrington who anticipated spending about £100 each (AGAIN!) on a ticket/travel/food & drink etc on another trip to Wembley. That's about £3m that can now be spent locally instead ......
However, the complete opposite will be happening over on Humberside. A lot of their fans hadn't planned on a trip to Wembley so now have to find that £100 from somewhere (Wonga website will be in meltdown today!), and then not spend it in an area of the country that really can't afford to lose £3m from it's local economy.
Well done Wire - in losing you have almost certainly improved conditions in our town whilst condemning residents of poor old Humberside to even more misery ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Someone doesn't have a sense of humour I see.

| I never understood the Smith jibes, he's always fair in his assessment of games, praises the opposition no matter what, never boasts or brags or make outlandish statements, has a good philosophy on entertainment over structure, and takes defeat well regardless of any circumstances.
Always thought the same at Leeds too? Strange how being magnanimous and honest to the point of not overstepping into disrespect is seen as being smug and conceited?

I think the Hull economy will trade through this crisis thanks pal. Hull City will be at home in front of 25,000 for their opening Premier League fixture of the season so lots of pints and pies will be sold anyway. I am also sure the Red and White half of the City will be business as usual as they go down to their locals and cheer on Wigan.

Compare ? May I be so bold as to accuse you of fabrication ? If indeed you are / were a COMPARE you would know it was COMPERE.

I would consider a change of career. You have to be funny to be a stand up comedian.

| I said the same, Wonga will be doing brisk business in West Hull today!!!
Incidentally, the only bit of your original post I find offensive is the 'Humberside' bit. Is that near East Yorkshire?? I've never heard of it........ ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

I don't see in any way how we're an arrogant set of fans. If it's a trolling post then it's a strange one.

Tony Smith has stood on the pitch and shook the hands of every single player of the opposition in a few games where he's deemed it an appropriate thing to do and has also been in the changing rooms of an opposition to wish them well.

I have to say I agree. Smith is a really classy dignified guy. He generally does not have a thing to say about other clubs etc unless it is complimentary. We could do with a lot more coaches like him in the game.
