How many freebies

17,688.

it's around 2,000 free tickets that are given away for the games.

not sure how many hull would have brought.

Didn't look like it by any stretch of the imagination.

Looked far far less than that on Sky, I'd of guessed at around 13,000.

Thats what I was thinking.

Alan Smith was commentating on the game and he has a pitch fixation when it comes to the JJB. The fact is he's a firkin ignoramous who hasn't spent a single second researching any of his opinions on how or why the pitch gets into the state it does.



He drives me up the pi$$in' wall with it. We were to blame for the mud, and the cutting up and the huge brown stripe down the middle and now its fixed we should be fired off to keep it that way.



The man is a complete know nowt, I just think he's bitter that he gets sent "up North", when no-one else wants to do it. Pr!ck!!

There was a good 2500+ from Hull

there just scared. For some reason football fans have this irrational fear of rugby. I think they think neutral sports fans are going to wake up one day and go "oh rugby is the greatest sport ever i'm never going to watch football ever again" as i much as i know some on here agree with that, its not going to happen.



sports fans will watch both and the whole pitch things is something that gets brought up every year, we're not going to leave that ground, for a start we're the only ones who can fill it!



i'm a big football fan and let me tell you most of the commentators are not liked by most football fans, especially lawenson. He's an A class tool.



We just need to laugh at them and how insecure they really are. Plus their 7th so the pitch has hardly effect them much (help by how crap everyone else has been this year) and Kirklands quote just explains the teams attatide to how they play football, and suggest attractive football is not their plan.

We get the same thing from the Huddersfield Town fans yet, infact the Giants are the reason they are in Division 3. They also blame Ken Davy who saved their club from administration a few years back.



The blinkered views these footie fans/commentators have is amazing - we don't go round kicking hods out of ground and I am yet to see damaged grass from the uncontested scrums we have!

AND somebody correct me if i am wrong but when they were in the tunnel waiting to come out did i hear Dreamgate in the back ground ???

I dont know what the problem is, the pitch looked just fine after our game against Bradford.
