Stadium
The match takes place Craven Park in East Hull, which is a mix of the old and new, the permanent and the temporary all mixed with the innovative.
The ground is made up of 5 separate areas at the moment, but it is a stadium that is set to be expanded soon, which has led to some temporary areas been put in place as the club sell out the majority of matches.
Down one side of the field is the city’s main stand, that features a mix of general access seating in the upper tier, some corporate facilities and a small terrace- commonly known as the ‘Well’.
At one end of the stadium is a modern all-seater stand that houses a mix of home and away fans, whilst the other end of the itch is home to a temporary all-seater stand and the innovated Craven Streat- home to street food and entertainment.
Running down the other side of the field is a large terrace, with a low roof that houses the bulk of the most vocal home fans, but the stand ends short, so a temporary all-seater stand runs between that stand and the end touchline.
All-in-all, that allows for around 11,000 fans to be there live in attendance and as is so often the case in East Hull, the house full signs should go up for this one.
Location
The match takes place in the city of Hull, or to be more precise, in the East side of the city of Hull as the city is a split one when it comes to Rugby League.
Rovers are traditionally the team for those in the east of the city, with Hull FC been for fans based in the west of the city, although both get fans from all over the region nowadays.
Hull itself sits on the banks of the river Humber, which separates East Yorkshire from Lincolnshire, with Hull also been at the far end of the M62 motorway, often thought of as the corridor that links the sports traditional northern heartlands together.
Hull is one of the closest cities for those travelling from York to get to, with Humberside been just to the southeast of the city, so there should be a bumper following from the Knights in attendance to help create a great atmosphere- although that isn’t something the Robins struggle with.
About
Although this is a Yorkshire derby, between two relatively close teams, it isn’t really a derby in the traditional sense mostly based on the two sides not playing against each other two regularly for the last few decades.
That’s not to say that there isn’t an extra interest in the match from both sets of fans and extra bragging rights on the line come gameday in what should be a great occasion.
