For what it's worth, in south London has been glorious all week and has gone over 30 degrees twice.

Bought a ticket today, never been as a neutral. I'm personally hoping for a Hull win but I'm in "unreserved" seating so fingers crossed im with the 'ull lot.

75k tickets sold as of what, Wednesday, any more updates? It would be great to see it packed out.

Should be a healthy crowd as usual but still won't stop it looking pretty bad on TV due to the club wembley seats being mostly unused and sticking out like a sore thumb, same every year.

Not amazing, but Lee Briers was interviewed on Radio 4 Today Programme in the 8.30 sports slot this morning.

So what!? There's a 20 page supplement in the Hull Daily Mail...

If I was a betting man I'd go for Dire by less than 6 points, however, I'm really really hoping Hull will finally break their Wembley jinx.
