As a young (at the time) veteran from the Battle of the Boulevard I would suggest some who are no longer with us would be turning in their graves with any airy-fairy sense of bonhommie shown towards our city rivals.
We fought them from Boulevard, the length of Selby Street to Anlaby Road flyover ffs. :D
Any token sense of civilty was dispelled on that particular Good Friday, never to return again. :)
Up the Leopards.

You just dragged me out of my epathy. Mum got hit on the forehead by a half chocker at Gordon Street end. I’m reminded of a tale from 2016, I was at a barbie in September, a guy saw my FC tatto on my leg and said “I went to Wembley and was a Wire fan for the day”, I said “ Ah you’re a Dobbin” he said “ No, I support Rovers”, I said “Do you go to the games”, he replied “ Not now but I used to as a kid” Sums it up to me, very evenly balanced hate, they have a massive chip on each shoulder. Also remember a day in 1985, a certain Wembley date, Cas v Rovers, used to go every year with Charleston Club, there was a single ticket in the row in front of our alIotment, no body wanted it so I said I wasn’t bothered and took it. Turned out it was a row of Rovers fans, also said I wasn’t bothered who won but when Jamie Sande set off down that left hand wing, I was the only one up and shouting “Go on you little beauty” or words that effect in a row of Rovers fans. C’mon you Leythers.

The main hope is that my first try scorer and Lance Todd bets come in. Then I win.

I absolutely hate the filthy travelling friend bustards and rather than them lose 0-50 this time I’d love it , love it, if They lost by golden point in extra time !

that would kill their journey home lol

maybe even get 200 fans at the welcome home

Yes definitely no sentiment on Good Friday 1981. Over 40 taken to hospital.

Wanting the other to lose in a Cup Final has always been part of the rivalry. Can’t recall any contented Rovers fans in 1982, 2005, 2016 or 2017. Saying that, in 2016 they did have their Fun Day to enjoy, so that probably balances out all our Challenge Cup wins.

The nice thing about having won the semi by GP is that I think I’d be philosophical about it.

I was quite pleased for you/Hull as a city in 2005. The whole Crap Towns thing seemed to have moved from light-hearted self knowledge to external derision, so it was nice to see one of the city’s representatives achieve something positive. But, other than that, I agree.

THANK YOU Mr. PEARSON, FOR RIDDING US OF FCKWIT FUBAR, CEO TOOL AND THE STINKING UNCLE KATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DON'T THE DOBBINS PLAY IN GREEN SHIRT, GREEN SHORTS AND GREEN SOCKS IN ORDER TO EXPRESS THEIR INFINITE ENVY OF EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE??

Hopefully get beat 50 - 0 again and then go out of business on Sunday, straight after the open top bus in the pissing rain. :wink:

We were perched by this time in the Sports Bar beer garden next to Wembley Park Tube station in both '16 and '17.
Both fantastic days and mega-sessions, hopefully have another bash before very long.

Re: Cup Final who do you want to win? : Sat Aug 12, 2023 10:03 am  
My fantasy so feel free to bash me.
Rovers are 12-0 up with two minutes to play. Leigh score 2 breakaways, one with 4 blatant forward passes and level up at full time . Rovers regroup and Lewis narrowly misses with a drop goal . Rivers pin Leigh down with a great defensive effort and Leigh are on the fifth tackle , still inside their own 40. The ball moves around their back division and finds Gareth O’brien . Still inside his own half he amazingly goes for an impossible looking one pointer . It sails home. The camera pans straight to Hudgell and Peters. There’s disbelief all around and a crane is needed for ‘ickle Mikey’s dummy. Amazingly he hasn’t knocked himself t unconscious trying to milk a penalty and the tears flow.
Carlsberg don’t do Hull KR defeats , but I’d they did they probably be …..

So obviously I’m all in for the Leopards . Watching in Hop Pole , with my mate who is a Coty fan first and a Rivers fan second . He can’t go today as he’s on a shift tonight and couldn’t get cover . Should be fun.
