Bloody hell HalifaxJohn, here is a first....I completely agree with your analysis of the game.
Hull were shocking, Poor Crooks had a nightmare. 18+ FC handling errors I reckon and you can't blame the weather/ball for many of them....bad technique. Thought the pie lad who scored down the far left with a right turn of pace did well, and thought Tomkins was quality throughout. The bravery to take that ball in the first half was what Hull lacked 10 mins later. I was shocked at the quality of the game and not a good advert for non sky subscribers that only see 8 or 9 games a season on BBC.
The game was classed as a sell out. Hull & Wigan sold all of their allocation. Both ends were rammed....you might have seen the Elland lads in their Superman outfits? All of the empty seats that we saw on TV were all sold too. Fantastic that we can get a cup final ticket for £12 but the downside is that clubs snap them up early doors before all of the drop outs.
