They only do it because of the money it generates, the only way they will scrap it is if people stop attending

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

Not a fan of it, 4 derbies in a season are just too many.

The best way to get rid of this fixture is to boycott it. The sooner the better IMO.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?:



Quote: Jake the Peg "Probably 5 next year'"

You might have the majority of the same shoite side. We have almost a new team so, no one can predict how we will go. Don't let that stop you though Rolfie.

Totally agree with a lot of poster on this thread. Scrap it! Waste of time. It's not taken seriously by most of the fans or the clubs.
Plus it stops the morons claiming it as a derby victory when they've lost two in the regular season.

It is just a money generator, I don't go to them but if others do in sufficient numbers, it will never be scrapped.

I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011. Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony. I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif



Potentially we could meet 7 times in 2015!

A pre-season friendly, 2 regular H&A games, Magic Weekend, a Challenge Cup tie, another league game in the post-split section of the year and then, finally, a seventh game if we were to finish 4th & 5th in the "promotion" league, the so called "million pound game icon_smile.gif ".

We're usually sick of the sight of each other after 3 derbies, imagine how exhausted/disinterested we will all be after that lot. It'll be like our own mini World Series played out over eight interminable months.

We haven't played one another in a Cup tie for years. The law of averages means we must come out the hat together sooner or later. It's bound to be in a season like the one above.

As a side note, game seven could also occur in the play-offs if, and it's a rather large if, both you and ourselves were to finish in the top four next year. However, I suspect that may be stretching credibility beyond its natural breaking point.

Hull Fc v Hull Kr, definately a triumph of quantity over quality.

"The Mail understands..." NOTHING! :SUBMISSION: :lol: [quote="-VIKINGMAN-"]Respect to Roofs, the president of East Hull. :wink:[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17371.jpg



Greed by both clubs and the RFL has completely killed the Hull rivalry, to the point where there isn't really such a thing these days. You can pull off a four-game minimum with a rivalry like Celtic v Rangers and lose no importance, but in RL you just can't. I used to shake my head at Hull fans who played down the derby games, but now I get it.
If they'd played each other just twice a season (ie no Magic or friendly) all along, perhaps it would still mean something. icon_sad.gif

What's the record for derbies in a season? Must have played a fair few in those seasons in the 70s and 80s when we were regularly meeting in the floodlit, yorkshire cup, john player, and Premiership.

I understand where the Derby fatigue comes from and the hype to sell the friendly game is a bit ott. But as long as it helps to pay the bills, fair enough. Nobody is obliged to go. Like other friendly games, it doesn't 'count' in my head. But as with other pre-season games its interesting to see new signings are going and build up a bit of anticipation - with no stress about the result.

I don't see the big issue really, it's an opportunity for both clubs to get some money in, it's an opportunity to see new faces and team, it's an opportunity to go for a few beers with your mates without a 2 hour coach journey, it's also good preparation for the season as the intensity is an improvement on normal friendlies which should be better preparation. The benefits well override the negatives for me, the novelty of the derby fixtures has worn off regardless as we are used to playing them now year in year out, doesn't mean the rivalry decreases. Friendlies are an evil necessity, so the clubs may as well try and gain some other benefits from them. If not Hull, it may be Huddersfield or Bradford or Leeds that week with less crowds, less money, less intensity and less overall enjoyment and beneficial activity. plus, it's still a lovely feeling when you turn up for work on the Monday icon_wink.gif. Seriously though, strip it down to it's bare bones and just go and enjoy a game of rugby again after a break of 3/4 months because ultimately that's all it is!
