Yep, home and away supporter but after hearing the traffic report shortly beforehand I decided not to travel. What an idiot I feel now..

True and Thanks.

Have I missed something? What the hell has diet got to do with anything?

Must be what the Pro’s do I guess.
They get to the club early to be fed (a bit like school breakfast)

Being couped up in the ground all day wouldn't do anyone any favours.
2 hours is ample time to prepare mentally and physically for a game of rugby.
Tonight was a struck of bad luck, it happens. Move on.

Strucking unlucky it was.

With warm downs, ice baths, rub downs and maybe post match food, the players probably won't leave the ground until 11pm at the earliest so they don't want to be there all afternoon

Gentle needs to get an accout on here, that way he could see how to prepare the team properly as he clearly hasn't got a clue has he!!

Awww, bless.

2 days less recovery time for saints

ive read some poop in the past but some of it posted on this thread takes the biscuit

posters moaning that players should live closer to hull and leave earlier! do they not think these players have partners or wives who may have jobs around the area they already live in and it is not possible to move! featherstone, ponty and cas areas are less than an hours drive from the kc, its taken me longer to get to one side of hull to another during rush hour!

as for pre match preperation, im sure those who claim its not good enough that players are not at the club a good half day before kick off know better than peter gentle and his coaching staff, if not why aren't you doing his job!!

now for the club updates of the delaying of the game, fortunatly we didnt leave until 8pm when they announced the game was kicking off at 9.15, numerous sources away from the club gave out unconfirmed kick off times, even the bulls official website who stated the game was starting at 8.30! our innitial reaction was that they jumped the gun and should have waited.

Far from ideal, but not much choice.
