Classic Bill Shankley tactic.

I think it was in 1965, Liverpool won the FA Cup and were playing a European semi final the following wednesday evening. Sensing that the was nervousness on the terraces as well as in the dressing room, he sent two of the none playing squad members around the pitch 10 mins before kick off with the FA cup. The crowd lapped it up and by all accounts the atmosphere went up several notches.

Didn't wigan bring the cc out at half time when we played them a week later?

Prepare to be disappointed, for after holding back for 27 weeks The Mighty Warriors are about to unleash the most devastating display of attacking rugby league since the '82 Kangaroos landed on these shores

Well at the moment it's either laugh or cry !

The sad reality is that an attendance of 12.5k would be enough to do this. Its not that long ago we had 14K for the visit of Wigan with Agar in charge.

I know there were a few who said that they would not attend whilst Radford was the coach but I'd like to think that winning the cup and challenging for the top prize would have won over most of these.

The other reality is personal circumstances change,fiance change and work.I hav had my work pattern change where I have to work til 8.on a Friday now so that buggers me ul for rest of this season and for next season and Thurs night matches don't help either.i woulld love to.be there on Fri but after 40 yrs of going.to fc,its now come.to.a.end due to work.

you beat me to it hullfc.i hope they do,i couldn`t get down to wembley,s so i`d love to see the boys with it when i come down on friday.

The players not playing can take it round 2 mins before kick off. Will certainly get the atmosphere going

also may give wigan an extra incentive

bring it out at half time, quite a few people dont turn up right until kick off

Not beaten them at home since 2009

Massive game for us and of course our first game at the KCOM since the Cup win so I'd be disappointed with under 12000.

I appreciate times are hard for many but we are in the same city as the Tigers who can comfortably pull in big crowds.

Very disappointed with that crowd, 11,686 for the biggest league game for ages on the back of a famous Wembley win. Same level of crowd we were getting for run of the mill games a couple of years ago.

Pearson must be wondering if the only way to make a profit at this club is to win at Wembley each year cos our home gates and cost of renting the stadium won't be bringing much £'s in.
