Erm, no! It's 2 as in 2! One hasn't occurred yet.
Stop bleating. After watching your game last night I'd have thought you'd all ditch the Wendyball for some more of that. There's no way the FA Cup final will match that!

So 2+1 is 3 or a 'few' at least we agree

Like it or not we are minority and Wendyball as you out it is boss unfortunatly.

I think you could be very surprised then as an example I straight away know of 10 guys who will be watching the 'once in a lifetime' match over the MW match.

There'no doubt in my mind that it will effect a lot more than 100 fans of both sides.
I usually go with a party of 8 adults and juniors to the MW but as the younger members are also Hull city fans, we will be obtaining tickets and attending the F.A cup final this year.
I was also talking to a few other rovers fans in the pub after Thursday nights game who were either going to the F.A cup game or knew of someone who would be.
At the end of the day its a probable once in a lifetime opportunity for many and unfortunately it clashes with the Hull KR v Hull Fc game.
The thing which is more significant in my mind is,.... the fact that the MW is supposed to be the RFL's attempt at showcasing the game to a wider audience outside of RL heartlands, however, as the F.A cup final and its big build up (which usually starts early in the day,) will probably mean that few people outside of Rugby league will bother to tune in to the MW on the same day imo.

Ah - so verbose when self-righteous presumption rises indignantly, a blazing balloon. So ungenerously succinct when it's popped.

It is a sign of great weakness of character when a man is unable to apologise.

That's only ever said by the person who wants the apology.

What part of me saying I'm wrong did you misunderstand? Let me guess you came on this thread expecting a row but instead I did what I have done numerous times in the past when I have been wrong and admitted it thus having left you all deflated.

Still it could be worse I could hide under my rock instead of making the apology.

Why on earth would I want Ani to apologise to me? Not me he's slagged off inappropriately.

Nope, you clearly said you were wrong. That's not an apology, though, now is it?

And, after this thread, I'll continue to remain very wary of your guesses. Your guess about the RFL's reason for the date selection was wrong, and this latest is also way off the mark, as well.

No, that was Darth earlier on in the thread when he was puffing himself up with ill-founded indignation. I, as ever, am only keen to see fair play .
