Just had a look on the Hull FC official site, Lee Radford says he will put out a mixed squad of U19's & senior players on Sunday.

The Dons will be missing Grant Edwards who is injured but still have a squad of 22( from RLExpress on Monday 6th .

Looking forward to the game COYD

Is there a pitch inspection planned ?

Just got Information from Carl Hall that the game against Hull is 100% on. wrap up warm guys because it will be a cold one.

Funny game this , will be interested to see how the Dons players play but also the Hull FC fringe players who may be playing for the Dons soon.

Well what a farce. Due to other commitments I didn't set off to the ground until 2.20, knowing full well I'd have to get a ticket from the office.
Well I'm at home now as I turned around due to there being 300 people at least queuing for tickets at 2.57, just 3 minutes before kick off. I wasn't the only one either, a family of four followed me. This method of entering the ground has been crap at best, but on a normal matchday I've occasionally missed 5 minutes of the game. People (and the club) will say get there earlier, but as stated, I couldn't. It's not as though we play in front of 20,000, and the club can hardly afford people walking away and losing revenue.
What is the problem with paying at the turnstiles anyway? Every other ground seem to manage it.
Don't feel like going again until this is sorted.

Kick off was delayed by ten minutes.
I just made into the ground in time.
I must say that I felt very embarrassed at the shambles.
I had made my mind up that if after being in the queue for two hundred yards, by the time I got to the ticket office if the match was not delayed I too would go back into town and to hell with it.

As for the game, it was the Dons vs Hull academy plus a couple of first teamers like Whiting.
16-16
The Dons let them off the hook big time and should have won.
Still we looked OK.

Should have won yes, some good signs though.
