| Quote ="Newton-Le-willows-Warrior"the only reason you like wigan is because youve got that bluddy pub on the corner which is named after the robin! i may see a few of you lot in there for a beer before the game- cant usually miss me, im the one with the drum ( i.e was on the telly in edinburgh whilst on the phone)
i can see there being a good attendance on with a few of the wigan casuals coming out now we're in a bit of form!
could be a classic!'"

I don't know what is worse. The chant above or the obsessive nature of fans of both Hull clubs to sing about their fathers gun.  |

Our fans can be awesome when the team plays well, every time you guys have been in town you have beaten us or played well and stopped us from running away with it. If its a close game it will be a great atmosphere. |

| I've been a Rovers supporter since 1973 when age 7, barely missing a home game since, so have seen a few highs and lows.
I must admit I haven't travelled to many away matches for about 20 years but the chance of Rovers being top of the league on Friday night means that it's a match I can't miss- has anyone looked in the history books to note the last time we topped the league - probably not since we were champs in 1985 I'm guessing but perhaps I'm mistaken? I'm looking forward to my first visit to the JJB (or is the the Dave Whelan stadium now?)- where's the place to park?
I too have always had a soft-spot for Wigan fans ..... how many remember that Charity Shield weekend in the Isle of Man (was that 1985?)? It was a good weekend- I guess that Rovers were at their peak then (before a rapid decline) and Wigan were an emerging force.
My gut instinct says that as a team we have some great individuals but there are still enough technical deficiencies in certain players (positional sense and tackling technique in particular) that means we won't maintain 2nd spot (or higher!) but the effort and commitment are excellent and that counts for a heck of a lot in the big matches.
It's a great achievement to be where we currently are - onwards and upwards! |

I remember that weekend very well, we were in the Grasmere Hotel, which was about halfway along the sea front, we had a ball with all the Wigan fans.
We were the Rovers fans wearing the grass hula skirts and had a huge George cross flag with Hull Kingston Rovers emroidered accross the middle, boy what a weekend!!, does anyone remember that huge disco with a dance floor which apparently was the size of a football pitch, the noise in there that night with all the Wigan and KR fans singing was something i shall remember for ever.  |

Strange this should come up, as I was clearing out a cupboard the other night I found some photos we took that weekend, remember some of our (Wigan) fans 'holding up' one of those horse drawn trams on the seafront whilst wearing Dick Turpin masks shouting " stand and deliver " at the driver, it never stopped raining and they were selling plastic 'pacamac's' outside the ground, half the crowd looked like giant condoms.The night club was bouncing and both sets of fans got on really well, great weekend and it left me with 'soft spot' for Rovers since then, safe journey down on Friday, should be a great game. |
