well, as our season isn't active, why would they?

Heard Colin Murray a few weeks back about this and he mentioned all three teams, so I expect they will cover us. Especially if something fruity comes out of the forum tonight.

And I don't mean Mrs B!

Heard the same interview. Should be some good coverage for Hull in general.

colin murray's show 'fighting talk' is coming live from ferens art gallery on sat 11am - should be good, is usually a decent show

listened to him on 5 a bit recently, seems to like league

The little Ulstermon is a born again rah rah fan

Saturday's live commentary is indeed the Hull City game.

BBC Radio 5 in Hull in the lead up to the start of the Four Nations. A perfect opportunity for yo lot to get in contact with them about rugby league matters. Simon Mayo having to talk about league! They won't know what's hit them

Nicky Campbell had Rule, Agar, Billy Maillinson, Spaven? (Rovers player) and another rep from Rovers on this morning at 7:50ish. Were talking about RL in Hull, Hull City and other stuff. Probably on for a good 5 minutes.

I had tickets for friday night but cannot go working.

It should be 80% rugby league.

Hull is a real hotbed for the game as evidenced by the support for both of it's professional teams. Hull City are the johnny-come-lately's and for most of their part have been more famous for being perenial toilers in the lower leagues rather than big hitters in the Premier League. At any rate, their downward spiral looks to be underway, and I'd advise anyone interested in them to enjoy what is little more than a cinderella tale with a sour ending.

Hull FC is one of the icons of the game and the old Boulevard was a home of probably many great tales. I always found it an intimidating place to visit.

Even though we were defeated in the semi final, I really enjoyed the 2005 CC as the return of a rugby league city to better things.

Although when Nicky Campbell asked Duffen about the popularity of the respective sports in Hull, he replied by making the point that football is more popular based on City's 24k average gate, as opposed to 21k for RL.

Great listen that. Sounds like Hull City have such an advantage being able to call on the whole city as opposed to a half of it.
Sounds like Campbell was genuinely impressed with his training session at Rovers.

Nicky Campbell has come across as a bit of a Saul turned Paul recently where RL is concerned...

With re: to post on Hull City's gates.

I'd be interested how many fans come up from Liverpool, London and Manchester. Lets see what happens when the novelty factor wears off. Credit to Hull City for getting to the Premier League the 'hard' way, but I am largely unconvinced of their place in the pecking order...

As opposed to Colin Murray who seems to have taken over weekend sport and has come out as a born again union fan The thing that gets to me with the BBC is that anyone who likes RU there seems to automatically believe that they must be a pr!ck when it comes to RL. Can't they have someone who enjoys the two sports...? Jiffy is there, but he is different as a former player.

Agree with your second comment. I probably come across as sour to the Tigers, but when I played Hull teams you could always sense the appetite for RL.
