Could go either way, as with most SL games these days. I still think hull are slight favourites been at home and in generally better form. Although they've yet to face Leeds and Saints.

It's always gut-wrenching to lose a derby, but as long as the effort and commitment is there from us, I'll still enjoy the game for the great occasion it is.

make that 279 Mrs B

I agree, my comments earlier were based on the initial reactions of FC fans on here when we got promoted, to me and lots of other KR fans and FC fans I know it will always be the big one. My dad always went into a mood for days if we lost but would be singing and whistling for days when we won.

Although the ultimate aim is to come as high as we can, the two results against FC are important to both sets of fans, seperate to the rest of the results of the season, the ones that say they are'nt are either lying or are such recent converts they have no idea of the history.

Hull fans are less bothered because we've tasted success in recent years. I'd quite happily take the dobbins doing the double over us for a CC or GF win.

Don't flatter yourself, so would we if it was the other way around

Some of us still do

Or, like me, they don't come from Hull, don't live in Hull, and don't have any Rovers fans for friends/colleagues.

I started following Hull in 1985. For most of the time I've been a fan, Rovers have been an irrelevance. I just can't get any more worked up about the Derbies than any other SL game. For me, the history is just that - history.

Sorry if you find that hard to accept.

1,500 tickets left according to the HDM

Bloody part timers you lot

What's the allowed capacity this year? Presumably it'll be below 24,000, so that City's attendance record is not put at any risk.
