There will be a good 2500 going

I think it depends on how Hull turn up. It is possible from their perspective of looking at the Leeds team sheet and recent results and being complacent or over confident.

It's only Wednesday, got three days yet plus people paying on the gate. It will be around the 2000, 2500 mark I reckon.

I'm surprised you see that number as being poor (despite it being pre-sales) when you bring nowhere near that number to the KC

i think he meant it as a compliment as Hull have always been renowned for a strong away following, especially when things look good.

Well if that was the case, thanks!

I think we took between 1100 and 1300 to Saints a couple of weeks ago, so would expect 2000 to go to Leeds on Friday.

However, there is still a lot of anxiety with a lot of fans as normally, the players get over confident after a few wins, and the effort and intensity drops - which could easily happen on Friday

bad weather expected, tv game, paying on the gate fans may decide on the day

1500-2000 more realistic

While there's a chance young Smith might make the bench given the likely injury status of Delaney and Achurch, does anyone really think he's going to do more than keep it warm?

Assuming Delaney is rushing himself back to fitness so he can break down mid game again I'd go with

Hardaker
Golding
Watkins
Keinhorst
Handley
Sutcliffe
Lilley
Galloway
Falloon
Garbutt
Ablett
JJB
Singleton

Burrow
Mullally
Baldwinson
Smith

I think we're going to seriously struggle with this game no matter which 17 we put out so we may as well give those injured another week to regain fitness and give some young players a run out to see what they can do.

Excellent. Two man bench it is then.

McDermott only fails to use his bench in tight games, I'm fully expecting Hull to be out of sight by half time.
