Not a serial poster but here are my thoughts anyway,

The reason I believe they have chosen the Sunday is because of two factors,
1) They (Broncos RL) have obviously realised that one of the BEST supported teams in Super League cannot be expected to 'turn up' in there usually thousands on a Friday night, due to work commitments and travel times, thus,
2) Saturday seems the obvious choice......... BUT!!! This would result in the game being held on the same day as... Footballs Champions League Final (and London/Kent IS football orientated).
So, they have decided to go for the Sunday.

Now, may I say as a Hull FC fan, but now Portsmouth residence, how dissapointed I am with this actual choice of day. I really do feel sympathy for the Black & White faithful for this decision of playing on 'a Sunday', expecially with the 'Magic Weekend' litterally a week later (costs involving accomodation, travel, social ( ).

Southend is okay in small doses, yes whistable is more civilised but full of the blue rinse brigade and there's feck all there to do on a night.
Stay in Leigh on Sea and mosy on into Sarfend at night.. Have some local mussels they are excellent

Think Gillingham will be just a day trip for me but as long as the game stays on a sunday and not moved to a friday it will be no big deal to me, while i have to agree with some posters that it will be probably better attended had it been a north of London venue i still think Hull will take around the 1000 mark, how well the game is promoted around the Gillingham area to attract people is another question??, this is what expansion is all about isn't it?. On a personal point of view i usually enjoy going to grounds i haven't visited before so with saints and salford new grounds to visit and man citys place and now gillingham i'm looking forward to putting a few more on the list.
