Kick Off time confirmed as 5:00pm on The FA's Website, so a direct clash with the Rovers/Hull Magic Game.

After telling me to read posts where have I accused you of such?

Unfortunately for me, the fact that the two games are on the same day is bad enough, but now I wont even get to see Rovers live on the TV after the Football.
Some of my family and friends, especially the younger members, are Hull City fans and some time ago we promised that we would go with them to Wembley should Hull City get there, I never really expected to see that happen and now find myself been held to that promise with no hope of been allowed to renege.
As there are usually 8 of us, (5 Rovers and 3 Hull FC fans) that normally attend the magic weekend I wonder how many others find might themselves in a similar predicament and how it may effect the numbers travelling to the MW event overall.

If the RFL have an ounce of intelligence they'd move the KO time.

Oh...

If they move the derby kick off,the pubs in Hull will probably have their best days takings ever.Was in Lodge on Newland Ave yesterday for liverpool/man city and the Hull game.Absolutely rammed! And how good to have a united chant of City on thursday night!

I don't see why people think the RFL will even consider moving the Derby game to a different time. The two owners of KR and FC have publicly lambasted the RFL over the last couple of months and this is the perfect opportunity for the RFL to say 'up yours'. But then again, surely the governing body is far too professional to stoop to those levels...aren't they?

Rovers and Hull have always taken good crowds to the magic weekends, I think they'll be low this year.

Move kick off times with short notice (few weeks) and people will moan that they've booked on the 2.05 train out of Hull to Manchester.

Keep kick off times the same and people moan that the RFL are clueless and stupid.

Damned if they do. Damned if they dont.

If the RFL had any intelligence they wouldn't of booked the magic weekend for the same weekend as the FA Cup Final!!!

The kick off times have been announced and people have already made their travel plans whether its for the day or the weekend so change it now would inconvenience all those people

IMO the mistake was made when it was booked for the same day, as any other town or city could be having the same problem.

The list of error for the RFL keeps on growing.

To an extent I agree, and as soon as I saw the date I didn't commit to going until our game (Warrington) got confirmed for the Sunday in case my football team got to the FACF as I'd have been going to Wembley if we did. We didn't get there for the record! I'm sure there will be a few who think like that, but the RFL can't avoid clashes with everything that happens in other sports to be fair to them.

This is completely unique though, and although I know most on here will be KR or FC fans first and foremost, there must be loads of people in Hull who support HCFC and one of the rugby teams, and they won't miss the most iconic match in their football team's history to watch a rugby derby that gets played three times a year.

The RFL should definitely make the Hull derby the first game that day now to avoid the kick off clash and enable people to watch both games. If people are going to Wembley that's one thing, but loads will just want to watch the final on telly and would love to make a derby day double of it in Manchester. With the kick off times as it is though we know what game most will choose and the attendance at Magic will suffer. Very foolish from the RFL if they won't make such a simple switch.

Found myself cheering for City, never thought that day would come.
