I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself.  We had a good win in france but they've been rubbish so far without tomkins, lost heavily to wigan, scraped past an abject hudds (who were the better team on the night and haven't won a game yet this year), were better against leigh and should have won it, then came back from a large deficit against wigan - had field stayed on I suspect we'd have lost comfortably.  


I do think we'll be competitive, particularly if we can keep everyone fit between now and then, but I still have rovers down as strong favourites, probably 75% they'll win, 25% we can snatch it.  They play the type of fast game we struggle against and outside backs and 2nd rowers are strong.  Realistically we'd need them to be off their best and us at ours for us to win it

Isn't the horse racing now on ITV? In which case our game will be in direct competition with it. A shame as I still like to watch the National, a great sporting spectacle. Also, unless the BBC up their coverage standards of recent weeks, we'll look like amateur hour again. The  games they've shown so far this year have felt like a throwback to Grandstand 1975 when they used to shoe-horn the second half of games into a spare half-hour during a Saturday afternoon. Our game last Saturday had Tanya Arnold and Kevin Brown doing about three different jobs apiece! Is this a part of the cutbacks in BBC sport I wonder.

Hull Live seem to think Rovers have to be given 7k tickets (30%) which is a logistical dilemma. Remains to be seen what the Police demand.

How many have they been allocated for Good Friday (presumably North stand only)? If the extra overspill means upper West then, as you say, it may pose a logistical dilemma given recent experience. 

Not exactly the same odds though is it

3,700 for Good Friday, they have had 7k at a derby before but that was in the good old days of sharing the West Upper, before things got a bit nasty.
