Where are people planning on having a drink before and after the game? 2008 there was lots of fans in the town but with it being a late match I wasn't sure if there'd be many in the town.

Probably around High Street and The Gatehouse (Wetherspoons) in the pedestrian area on Priory Walk.

Unfortunately won't be able to see the game at all as I jet off to Prague for a stag do tomorrow! Rather gutted but I'm sure there will be other distractions!
Gonna be on edge not even knowing how the boys are doing! Hopefully will find somewhere with good wifi so I can get regular updates.

After seeing both squads and also Wigan's game last week I am feeling slightly confident. More so than the 2013 semi final. Like so many Hull, I truly believe we could do something special this year and that starts tomorrow night!

I think you'll find that it's actually us (and the rest of SL, but definitely not Wigan) that do that....at least that's what Shaun Wane says, and everyone knows he must be right

If we can win this then it sets us up very very nicely for the big Play Off games.

Wigan is the toughest team we can play I feel and if we can beat them here then they will know we have their number.

If we win I will be celebrating on 2 fronts. 1. Wembley appearance and 2. laying down the strongest marker for Wigan in the play offs or GF.

We do seem to have our bogey sides. It used to be Saints, but we have a fantastic record against them now - even at their place
If we can beat Wigan again then the guys will be super confident against them in the league game

Getting rid of the Leeds hoodoo can wait till next year

I reckon 28-16 to Hull and Warrington to beat Trinity 32-12.
Nerves will be the only thing that might get to you as I think player for player you have the better team.
Good Luck

43 minute walk according to google. Are there pubs on the way?
