I think BOT has hit the nail on the head. Hull fans were comfortably outnumbered by Sheffield Wednesday at last season's play-off final when the stakes were much higher. I don't doubt that they sold all their tickets for the FA Cup Final, but you only get a pitiful allocation for that anyway. 25k f...

Re: We look a stronger side when Tarka is on the pitch.

Tarky does deserve his chance at CH but he will get caught out in midfield the same way Andre Bikey did in his brief spell there in 2010. They are both big lads that takes a second to get their frame moving, in midfield you don't get the extra time needed to read the game like you do in the back line.
