If city had been good enough to beat 1 of the bottom 3 there wouldnt have been any problems!
The only people to blame if they dont is themselves, not rugby or the pitch!

To be honest for the City of Hull I hope City can get the results they need at the weekend. There last visit to the Premier League did more to raise the profile of Hull than either of the rugby teams have done for decades.

I'm puzzled by the late request to change our game, arrogance and poor management are both highlighted publicly by making the request. I guess the spin is to make us look like the bad guys but even simple soccer fans will see that the fault "lies" closer to home

If City do manage to go up what are the implications for us, will Friday nights be a thing of the past or do we have some say on when we play our games?

If city do go up we will play our home games on friday nights for a few seasons, you would expect city to play a 3rd of games on a sunday as all english teams playing in europe play on sundays, so they wont want to keep asking fc to change there games will they?
Premiership games are never played on friday nights so that will be our slot till they go down.

I see Steve Bruce falls into the "I will use any excuse available rather than point out my own short comings" class.

The fact is, that soccer damages pitches far more than rugby every will due to the amount of sliding and the concentrated areas of the pitch where players congregate.

There must have been a full on stampede of Wild Boar's on the Oakwell and Molineux pitches recently

I have no axe to grind with Hull City, or the majority of their fans for that matter. However, it appears those who choose to leave their ill informed comments on the HDM webside tarnish the decent many.

5500 disappointed glory hunters go to Oakwell yet they managed to take less than 300 to Turf Moor only a couple of month ago.

Speaks volumes.

Just a little point but on the Mail comments section a few City posters are mentioning us moving to Costello. Now i know theyre probably mischeif making but what happens if theyre not? Is there any truth in this both short or long term?

That's sport I'm afraid, we're exactly the same.

We take triple our regular home attendance to a Wembley final so it's a bit hypocritical to have a pop at them.

I have a ''friend' on facebook who is talking the most amount of B@~'#cks i have ever heard..... here is his argument

'Hull FC have turned down a request to move their bog standard s@#*y rugby game for this weekend to London. The pitch is going to be mashed for city's game. Wouldn't mind but its not their stadium you would think they would try and help the football team out you know seen as tho we could go into the premier league again. What a joke. Throw them out!'

He went on to say football should always take priority over football.... i asked for evidence... still waiting. He thought our average attendance was 4000.... tells you all you need to know!

Agree? i hope not, i had a lot to say! is this the view of the minority or the majority? And why do all football fans have this incredibly annoying arrogance!

O he's also a Hull KR 'fan'.......

as ive said before,football,the sport with an attitude problem.same as the fans.overated sport as well.id sooner watch paint dry.

Aye, They seem to think they're superior to every other sport when in reality racism is rife still and the players are overpaid prima donnas. Not to mention the hooliganism among fans!

even if they get in premier league,they cant stop us playing on a friday.

Your mates a moron.

'mate'..... he's using his gcse PE qualification to argue his case haha!

What is it with city fans stating were leaving the stadium. Were half way through a 25 year lease so right now KC is our stadium. Well renting anyway

Why feed the trolls? It's obviously complete rubbish and by questioning it you've given it some credit.

Bad planning on City's part, the games always kick off at the same time/day on the final day of the Championship season...so they've had all season to prepare for this, and for a good couple of months it has been likely that their season would go down to the last game.
