TBF, it is their cup final. They have lost that many times in the real derbies since we gained promotion to Super League, their fans are desperate to see them win....any win. Nine pages on their own board shows how desperate  |

I think its the case that both sets of fans have been starved of Rugby for so long that everyone is getting excited for the game onn sunday, and rightly so. it's been a long off season. |

| Quote barham red="barham red"I just think after the previous 2 seasons that their fanbase is pretty fragile, if you read their board (I know its only a minority) they have hyped up the team so much in the off season that it wouldn't take a lot to bring the house of cards down and they will fall directly on Agar.
I'm not saying this game will have any bearing on the season proper, and to be fair to FC with the turnaround of staff over the close season they will do well to hit the ground running.'"
I agree with Mild Rover the majority will view it for what it is a hit out and not take too much form it, the hype surronds the fact that it is a Derby and as we know there is nothing friendly about these events, both teams will play for the win.
I do disagree that our fanbase is pretty fragile, we have sold more season passes and we have stuck together through 2 seasons of poo..If things do not go well I suspect our fans may want Agar out, however that will be dealt with if it has to be. |

| Quote R.B.A="R.B.A"Given the respective make-up of the 2 squads that will take to the field on sunday a robins win is highly unlikely. Long term though, the experience that the young lads will gain from playing against a Super League side infront of a big crowd will stand them in good stead.
If our kids do pull off a shock the pressure will be straight on Agars shoulders.'"
Are the squads out?
Having read the LE this week it seems you will be full strenght apart from Fox and Vella, Hull the same except Berrigan and Burnett.
A win wouldnt do any harm for either team, a loss wouldnt be devestating either. No injuries, a good run out and decent crowd would be great.
Cant see this putting any pressure on Agar, it's a friendly and against a team that finished 4th last year in SL. The pressure will begin when SL starts. |

For this one, I don't care, its a warm up game and will have no bearing on the season. The ones I do care about are the real two during the season, which i will go into mega-sulk if we lose them.

I didn't mean fragile in terms of voting with feet and not going, I was more implying that if Rovers beat Hull by a reasonable margin the FC fans may see this as a sign of things to come and not be realistic about a high turn over of staff, early season rustiness etc and get straight onto the Agar out wagon .. I think it would be similar if Hull win by a reasonable margin, a lot of FC fans would see this as a sign of heading to old trafford. |
