A few games have moved due to pretty urgent repairs needed to the KC Pitchhttps://www.hullfc.com/article/32257/smc-to-fund-pitch-replacement-in-2014rl

Hull City Tigers made me chuckle

Another year of horriffic losses for the SMC, boo hoo

Let's hope we don't get drawn at home in the cup if we get to the QF.

Hope to be drawn away?

no thank you

Give the SMC a problem, they will have to solve it

This means we go the best part of 2 months without a home game.

8 of our first 12 matches will now be at home so we need to build up some momentum quickly before the long run of away games.

why don't they do repairs in august ,let the the tedious tigers shift matches.

You'd think they could request now to the [delEPL[/del Championship fixture planners to avoid home games in August

oh b****r carefully arranged a week in Tenerife so I wouldn't miss a home game now I do !!!? cheers smc tigers

Not sticking up for football as I don't like the sport but summer is the best time for the new turf to grow.

It also means that between 23 March - 9 May, there will be 7 SL games, 6 of which are at home. If we get a home tie sin the cup (weekends of 5th April and 26th April), that will be 8 home games out of 9.

This will have an impact on fans being able to afford so many games in the bounce IMO.

Hope fc are getting compensation from the smc for loss of revenue between the two months without a home game, three home games on the bounce will stretch many pockets and people will miss games ther probably would have been able to go too

September is a good growing month,citys clods are causing the damage,let them pay the price.

The pitch was relaid in 2013. Since the then 3 games of RL have been played on it, 2 Hull games and a RLWC game.

We are not allowed to train on it.

Now the pitch is beyond repair.

On the up side it's £1 million that Hull FC don't have to fund. It is one advantage of renting rather than owning. Wigan do this pitch repair every year and their fixtures are scheduled to allow for it.

What I find a little strange is that if Wigan can plan it why didn't Hull?

It stinks. Why is it that it's always our club that has to suffer with change of fixtures and dates?. Then no doubt sky will be messing the fixtures up and people wont know if they are coming or going. I really don't know why we bother with a fixture list, they are not worth the paper they are written on. Its all there to see, Hull Tigers have knackered the pitch up. They should of done the repairs in September instead of messing our fixtures up before the season has even started.
