My only issue with City getting to the FA cup final, is the reactions of the fans. Remember in 2008 when they reached the PL? Remember the stick RL supporters in this city got from some of the football supporters?

Great news for Hull, I just wish their supporters showed a bit more class.

they have a real problem with the rugby teams in this city - they always go on about crowds, but when you add ours and yours together (then deduct the 3-4000 away fans that they get, they're pretty much even

Looking on social media it's a 2 way street.
Some folks wanting them to get battered and relegated on there from fans of other sports. (Guess which sport )

Like it or not Association football IS the biggest sport in the world and the only truly global sport in that it is played everywhere at some level. The FA cup is the oldest and most traditional of that sport so it's hard to argue against the fact that Hull City getting to it's final is bigger than anything either Hull or Rovers have done on a global sport world stage.

No I understood your point but like I said it's a 2 way street.
Abuse along the lines of 'Hope you get battered' 'Relegated next year then back to being rubbish' etc. Plus us RL fans are not know for our virtue on that score either.

I can not stand football or Wendy ball has some say but have a lot of friends who love, it so with that in mind well done hull city I for one hope you win

Not a football fan or from Hull but yes great for them & their suporters. I supose there will be a few less traveling to the magic game but for once let them have the glory our match will be on next year. As for their crowd figures they do draw a large number of fans from the East riding much more than the rugby clubs do. Not a problem for me though as I am in Egypt on holiday & I am sure city will be on TV there. & the magic game I will record. Good luck to them though.

Where have I said they should be relegated etc..

Blunderside have said the RFL will not move the kick off time at Manchester well done RFL you clowns

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?

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?
