Fantasic crowd today, well done to everybody from both clubs.

Question, is that a record for a UK friendly, if not which have been larger games?

It was a very impressive attendance.

Certainly more than the derby friendlies at the KC in 2004, 2005 and 2006. The Eva Hardaker friendlies back in the day used to be quite modestly attended too.

Credit to the loyals from each club

Yep I wholeheartedly agree with that , the FC fans in particular are really puttingtheir money where their mouth is this year and having faith in hat the club are trying to do although it is early days they got a deal of reward today!! Expect another announcement on season tickets in the morning!!!

I went to buy shirts for my son and me before the match - the shop was packed and I had to queue to get out. Great to see.

Fantastic support for Horney today, he deserves to be rewarded for his Loyalty to the club.

16k is a much better effort that the Leeds vs Bradford derby which only attracted 5,479

Wonder what Cookey thought,bet he wished he had stayed when he saw that crowd for his ex team mate's benefit match.

Is that all they got ? What a disgrace !!!!

BUT, would we have had that attendance had we have played anyother super league team?

I know its not nice to say but i dont think we would have.

Ricahrd made the correct choice in chosing the dobbins to be the oppostion for his testomonial match.

We wouldn't have got 16k if Rovers were'nt involved but it would still have been around 10k imo. Kingy got about that against Hudds didn't he?

He got less, [urlhttp://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=277[/url
