Oh what a difference a new coach makes - under Radford we played Catalans and for that match in 2019 there wasn't a single thread before during or after the match. That is how BAD and disillusioned fans had become under the pub coach.

‘Pub Coach????’ That is unfair and disrespectful. Lee twice achieved what no other Hull FC coach has ever done and what every Hull fan dreamed of.

Last year I think everyone agreed Lee’s time had come up an end. Since Brett has come in, there certainly seems a step up in the team’s performance and our fan’s enthusiasm.

However, coming away from Wembley, I can’t recall anyone making reference to winning with a Pub Coach. It was just joy and delight.

He had a pub when he was coaching us, so technically TF is correct.

A novelty view from the West Upper for me on Monday.

Got our tickets woohoo can't wait

Re: Next up Catalan : Mon May 10, 2021 12:05 pm  

I had an hours online queue to order tickets but we are up high in the East not far from our usual seats. Can't wait!

Re: Next up Catalan : Mon May 10, 2021 12:09 pm  

What a shambles of a ticketing system! ("Hull Tigers" I presume). Waited in the online queue from 9.03am this morning until I had to go out to work at 9.55, but still well off the front of the queue. Called phone line at 10am, successively 20 times, but cut off every time with message "...you are not able to acces this service"?? Finally got tickets when I went online again in my lunch, in a different stand - asked for East, got North. The sooner we can rid ourselves of the SMC, the better

Going for a venture into Upper West. Think I watched a kiwis test match there years ago. I’ll take my binoculars.

Good news about Brown, can him and Fash on the bench.

Scott or Johnstone to drop out

Liam Farrell: High Tackle – Careless High tackle – initial contact with ball and chest.

Apart from no contact with ball and chest, just Griffin's jaw, they got that absolutely right. Quite amazing.
