Match postponed

[Admiral of the Humber]

In my rugby watching career I've experienced a few late match postponements, all due to the weather.

Tonight Hull should have been entertaining Bradford at the KC Stadium with an 8pm kick off. The game was postponed at 8.15 because of a tanker crash closing the M62 30 miles from Hull. The funny bit is that the Bradford team actually managed to get to Hull, but the game was called off because Hull couldn't raise a team as a large contingent of their players who live in West Yorkshire were stuck in the jam caused by the accident.

So I put my long johns on for nothing!

thats a shame matey boy

[Romig1]

Why not keep them on now you are home???

The toasty feeling is quite divine....for about 30 mins until you start to overheat!

Plenty of proper rugby matches this weekend to make up for your diappointment, Rob.

[Admiral of the Humber]

Certainly looking forward to the England game Wolfie.

It's amazing the lengths that some teams will go to, to avoid another defeat!

Rob, ignore the comment from Wolfie.....you can't expect folks from south of Sheffield to understand the finer points of the game.

[Admiral of the Humber]

Dear Romig,

I don't mind. I'm a big enough chap to admit that I like both codes.....the beautiful game that is Rugby League.....and the mildly less beautiful game of kick and chase that is Rugby Union. Both have the distinct advantage of not being football!

Ruggerby league
stop...start..stop...start..stop..start etc etc
give the ball away to the opposition and repeat for 80 minutes

then do it all again next week, assuming the team can be arsed to turn up
woo hooo

[paultheeagle]

That is disapointing ain't it....when a match is called off like that but understandable I suppose....

[Romig1]

Paul....I'm hoping for a postponment of today's match....or even better an abandonment (and 1 point each).

Cardiff ain't

We were stuck in the Jam too, and to be honest so pleased it was postponed............ we have a 2 hour drive to Hull anyway so to miss a game would have been so disappointing. Like AOTH we enjoy both codes, but the beautiful game (for us) remains League. World Cup this year.............. tickets bought.............. so excited

Darknightie,
We both know a chap who visited the KC last season to watch a Superleague game between Hull and Leeds. He was I think, well impressed. I think that chap was........Oh...I remember....you!

[Admiral of the Humber]

Sorry to hear that you were stuck in the jam Coble. We didn't leave the house until 7.30 because we'd heard it was delayed and then stayed in the car until we heard that it was off. At least you can go to the rearranged game on Sunday. I will be with Miss AOTH in Grimsby watching her in an ice skating competition.

Ancient one of ULL
guilty as charged and would be happy to have a repeat of the occasion , but still prefer Rugby Union

[Admiral of the Humber]

Can't argue with that old boy. Of course you do realise why Rugby Union is so popular with the fans...it is because they get to handle the ball more than the players.

My Dad often recounts a game of Rugby Union I played at school many moons ago. I was as a child much stouter than I am today and played prop. I won the man of the match in this game....and didn't touch the ball once!

Come on the Azurri!

With an up and an under or even a Gary Owen.

Many thanks AOTH - We travel just about every other Friday to Hull to watch the boys run out - only problem is we travel from that mecca of the North Middlesbrough!!! so sadly we are usually well held up in traffic before we realise it - we do stay over fairly often, just love the Airlie birds!

Hope you enjoy Grimsby -

[Admiral of the Humber]

Woah The Cobles.....that is indeed commitment to the Black and White cause.

Let's hope that we get some reward this year.

Regards
Rob

[The Coble]

Hope so Rob - Losing Gareth Ellis certainly has not helped, but ever the optimist.

Take Care

[Admiral of the Humber]

Hello The Cobles,

I guess you enjoyed your afternoon!

I hope you got back to the North East safely.

Regards
Rob

Certainly looking forward to the England game Wolfie.

A thread Rob, on the six nations. We are cluttering up the footie thread with our diversions.

What a win by Wales, away at that, and what a pathetic win by Eng er land today, not deserved at all.

[oldbluefox]

wolfie gets her first warning!!

[Romig1]

It's amazing how sour the Welsh can get when they only have ONE win to their name.

I thought their match yesterday was likely to decide the wooden spoon, so I would have thought they would be happy??

[The Coble]

Home safe and sound thanks AOTH - Great result COYH!!

Just hope we can get a result against the Saints then back to Hull for the Wolves.

Romig, at the risk of another warning, there is only one team that has not lost a match and they are very unlikely to win the 6 nations.
and if they are not defeated before, we shall be there when they are, just like last year
