Despite a very up and down season I can't help looking forward to Thursdays game.for all hulls good results hudds and leeds have shown fc have their own frailties.reading hulls board the coffee lady doing her normal 8/9 first teamers out and on a fishing trip on derby week.i fully expect their big lads to play but as for us I can't see how our pack will be made up and it's asking a lot for a loan youth winger to play in this game.like I say you can't beat derby week .just hope we win this one,sick of seeing smug fc fans strutting round after winning run.funnily enough hardly seen any last week or so.at least they will be freshly washed if they do win Thursday. Will see what bookies give us as a start.hull massive favourite I'd assume?

As per all previous derbies, this week will be dog turd.

Both sets of fans will spread tripe about injuries and big up the importance of the game for the other side.

It will be watched by possibly the lowest KC derby crowd and will be a low quality affair.

Right in barrel o laughs me.

What is the lowest crowd, sold over 16000 tickets so far and expect a few more Rovers fans to get tickets this week as its now a key game, should be about 18k, which is a good crowd.

How long is Blair out for, been really good this year?

Kr to sneak a win

I would imagine that 16k includes our sales. I'd be surprised if it gets past 18.

Blair has a dislocated eyebrow, caused by expressing too much surprise that we signed someone on loan. He's out for the season. Just as well, he's been bobbins

I like Blair at 2nd row and if campo had stayed fit we would have been much more solid.for Thursday it's important Blair plays 6 if fit.but may have to play in pack if as Stan says 4 2nd rowers doubtful.would like to see Larroyer get form back,remember having ellis in his pocket think was the 23-10 game?.how things change .are mulhern and Dixon fit? Lawler into 2nd row and boudezba back? Many important decisions foe Webster

Are people just being (obviously I should have said been) stupid on this thread just for a laugh?

The daily mail HA HA said we might have four back blair is one of them if we believe the mail that is

Just read Radfords thoughts on the game.tactical genius or unprofessional rabble rousing? The result will go a long way to decide..I'd forgot how the fc players and fans went mental after last year's final derby at our place. .hope Webster shows the lads Radford article..can't imagine any other coach in league going down that road (wane apart on further thought)

Surely it should be 'Was people etc. Please excuse this exclamation mark !

I thought it was a decent read so far..This game is very much building up

Paddy power giving us 10 point start on coupon..sounds about right

I really can't see the point of going to this derby match.

It's not a winnable tie for the Robins. Hull have been imperious this year, have swept all before them and are in the form of their lives. They only have minor injury concerns to Ellis (needs a new hair weave), Minichello (severe constipation) and Frank the Tank (booked in for bariatric surgery).

By contrast, Rovers have no fit second rowers, no fit half backs, no fit wingers, no actual kickers and most remaining players struck down by laryngitis following a victory rendition of Red, Red Robin in the dressing room after the Huddersfield match.

We're doomed.

So what your saying is your gonna win

Let's hope it rains
