I know its not Rovers related but Congratulations to everyone associated with the club on reaching their first ever FA Cup Final!

Actually there might be a Rovers connection, anyone know what time The FA Cup Final kicks off? Since the Rovers v Hull Magic game is the same day at 5pm/

5:15, can see it effecting attendances. Bloody gutted got magic tickets but would have loved to have watched the final.

you would think the rfl would look into changing the derby to a sunday so fans could go to both games I think now city are in the final it will put fans off going to magic weekend or just go to pub and watch both games

Something I never thought I'd see. Pretty amazing.

And the clash with the magic derby - what are the odds? Worth bringing it forward a slot, or too much messing about?

I doubt the Magic game will be moved to Sunday, people will have already arranged transport and accommodation for the weekend and it would be totally unfair on them, however maybe it could be swapped with one of the earlier kick offs on the Saturday (12:30pm - London/Catalans or 2:45pm - Widnes/Salford). If it was the 12:30pm KO it would give those who wished to go and watch the game in a bar or Manchester City Centre.

How mad would that be if they could stagger the games. Rovers and FC fans at each other during the derby and then both cheering on city in the same bars in Manchester.

now that would be mad

Last Yorkshire winners... Leeds in '72. Against Arsenal - who denied the most recent Yorkshire finalists in '93, Sheffield Wednesday. Unless we count Middlesbrough as Yorkshire.

Arsenal having sneaked through on penalties - is that better or worse?

For all that Wigan are the holders, Arsenal's tradition does make it more of an occasion. While City would have had a much better shot at getting triangular corner flags against Wigan, a defeat would be very, very deflating against a Championship team.

Middlesbrough is in Yorkshire officially isn't it

Historically and ceremonially. It became Teeside, when we became Humberside. Then Cleveland for a bit later on. And it ruined by Arsenal theme.

It's hard to fathom just how MASSIVE Hull city making their first EVER FA cup final is after 110 YEARS.

Some will bladder about 'I don't care' due to them either being fans of other clubs or other sports but they are so missing the point here. It is GREAT news for the city and it will once again have folks from around the world thinking 'Where exactly is Hull?'

Recently this city has had a fair few 'Where is Hull?' moments as opposed to 'Bugger me I'm not going there' moments we are used too. That cannot be anything but positive.

Can't believe I'm saying this but ..... This ^^^^^

this is their one real chance to win the trophy. I don't think they would ever get a draw as kind as they have had to get to the Final again so they need to make the most of it.
I said on Saturday that if Wigan won, they would beat City, but I actually think City can beat Arsenal as the pressure on them to finally win a trophy would be huge

Even rarer than City reaching the final is me actually agreeing with Anakin. We should all be delighted for them, its bringing even more attention on our great city.
