Pre season friendlies announced : Wed Nov 12, 2014 12:59 pm  

Bradford away on the 18th jan

Halifax away on the 25th jan

Happy with the Bradford away game but Halifax away as the final game before we start the league!!

sounds as if we were going to play a SL side for the halifax date but got back word at the last minute

so it looks like we are going to go into the SL first game undercooked with these two games, not good news for us but good news for Hull fc.

playing a full strength team against a halifax side who are not even a force in the championship anymore is very poor but sounds like we have been shafted and got now choice now... halifax are behing the likes of leigh, fev, bradford and london nowadays

shame the two games arent the other way round, bulls will be the harder one with us fielding alot of youngsters.

no home friendly this year

Home friendlies seem to be rare since the days of the halifax cup. Don't particularly want to freeze my whatsit off at odslum in January.

Shame we couldn't have put in a friendly with Wigan as a condition of the loan agreement swindle.

We don't play home friendlies as the club loses money on them due to the lack of attendees i was told.

Yes, we had Hull KR at home last season. We were supposed to play Wakey away in Andy Raleigh's testimonial as well but it was cancelled.

With a squad of 29 all playing against championship opposition
It's hardly going to be a classic so £15 is too much.
