Club just posted that we will be treated to fireworks, light show, flags in the stand and singer for the Wigan game.

And most shockingly of all...Boot It has been replaced with a new halftime game, times really are changing!

Shocking indeed as "Boot it" has been the only source of real entertainment at home games for the last few years.

Hopefully as many membership holders as possible take advantage of the offers. I've got two lapsed supporters going. They're not expecting miracles but a decent performance and an enjoyable night out and they may be persuaded to attend a few more games during the season.

Thank God for that. Every week (throughout the god knows how many years it has been ongoing) my mate asks me 'do they win the van if the ball goes in'!!!
I think he needs to cut back a little on his pre-match refreshment. By the end I was just humouring him by telling him that only local plumbers and electricians were allowed to take part.

I hope, for the sake of my sanity, that the new h/t game (whatever form it may take) is a good deal easier to understand for all middle-aged blokes who've had a drink pre-match (or possibly even three drinks!!!).

It needs a total refresh , I aren't there for the entertainment but see enough to see why it needs changing .
The club should give Brian Potter a ring from the Phoenix Club .

Potter could give them the number of the 'one-legged Elvis impersonator' who speciality was his rendition of 'don't you step on my blue suede shoe (singular)'!!
Come to think of it, that would have been fairly apt entertainment last year, mirroring what else was happening on the pitch in 2024!

Funny you should mention Brian Potter Because last week when the club sent my mate the wrong season tickets I said to him, "send the buggers back" and we instantly had a spontaneous sing song!!!!

On a serious note I see Cam Scotts torn his hammy at Wakey he doesn't have much luck does he, but as many have said on here he does appear injury prone.

There will be a lot of movement in the next couple of months across the game as things become more clear with clubs approaching players with less than a year left on their contracts and it will be interesting to see which clubs retain those players and which ones say well If you don't want to play for us then 'Bugger" off! https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ll-9899095 I hope its not Staveley and/or Wainhouse.

Mmmmm Sadly as we all know it can be the hope that kills you! In the process we are currently going through there is always the odd casualty and it can be one you hope at the time doesn’t go
