I am going to disagree with a couple of your points.

Firstly, it being a good outcome for Hull FC. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, originally there were 2 away games across Easter, therefore I would say I am not alone in making arrangements for that weekend. This will mean there will be a number of Hull FC fans who will now not be able to attend the home derby. This will not affect the rovers fans numbers.

Secondly, I reckon there will not be a massive difference in attendance from the July game to the good Friday game, perhaps for the reason stated above, it may well be down for good Friday. The July, Thursday night game in 2010 got over 20k.

That there is no voucher exchange this season compounds this.

Probably a good thing for most people, as instead of having to choose from the away games over Easter, you can go to the game at the KC on your pass and then to the Giants game on the Monday!

Winner!

The July 2010 game had fewer attending than any home SL derby at that point. The Good Friday attendance last season was adversely affected by form. We'd lost seven from ten. In July 2010 we'd won seven from the previous ten.

Happy with the outcome, still a chance the 2nd game could be at the KC too.

I dont believe this!

1st I book flights back to the UK for the derby game in July, returning to Oz on Monday 23rd July. The the f'ing SL move the game to the monday night, so I move my flights so returning to Oz on the Wednesday. Now they've switch the fecking games around to pacify that little tw@ of a chairman at Rovers. So chances are I wont be going to any of the derby games now.

Why dont they just leave the fecking fixtures as is. I really hope someone drops a bomb on Caravan Park and then the game can be moved back to the KC

Not happy!

I'm in the same position mate, hopefully the new stand won't be built in time and they will have to play the game at the KC.

The new stand won't be built by July but it gives Rovers a chance to get all the temporary seating sorted. Win win for us, we will get more on a good friday than on a monday night so more money for the FC.

I dont understand the certainty on which people are basing this theory that more would attend the good friday game (having been made aware four months ago when the fixtures came out that we had no home game over the easter weekend) than an evening game on the first monday of the school holidays.

Because many people will still be working that day, and the day after.

Heres hoping mate

You in Sydney?

It's not as if the average fan will have to leave work early or get home excessively late though is it?

I could understand why people would struggle to travel across the pennines but not so much across Myton bridge

I don't get the problem really?

If you've booked flights back to watch the Derby Craven Park is hardly a million miles away from the KC anyway.

I think a lot of this is moaning for the sake of it to be honest.

Even if it was at the other end of the country it would be an insignificant distance compared to the flight...............but, I personally don't want to set foot in Craven Park and I only live 3 miles away from it.

I'm shocked the RFL havent asked questions about the fact Rovers cannot host a SL game.
