Club chairman Adam Pearson has issued a rallying cry to all Hull FC supporters ahead of next week’s Hull Derby fixture against Hull Kingston Rovers!
The Black & Whites take on their cross-city rivals in what is expected to be one of the most hotly contested fixtures between the pair for many years, as both sides battle to secure a play-off spot as we reach the business end of the season.
The ‘Rivals Round’ clash will be the city of Hull’s biggest event of the summer, and see FC come up against the Robins in front of supporters for the first time since the start of the pandemic – with an electric atmosphere expected at the MKM Stadium, the game is not one to be missed!

And Hull’s chairman says with some important names back for the Airlie Birds next week, the game is set up to be a thriller.
On the Robins, who find themselves in strong form going into the match, he joked: “We’re watching all of the noises coming out of Hull KR at the moment – they think they’re going to win the Grand Final and they’re running away with it.
“Well, we’re going to find out if that’s the case next Saturday, aren’t we.
“They’re in the frame for a play-off spot, so it’s going to be a spicy occasion – I urge everyone to get down to the MKM Stadium next Saturday because it should be a really great moment for the city to come together after the pandemic.”
He continued: “We’ve got some really important bodies back next week and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got to get a result – there is certainly a feeling in their camp that they can get the win, but I think if we’re near full strength, we’ll have nothing to worry about.
“We’ve had players struggling with Covid and injuries recently, but Derby Week does certain things to you – it gets the players revved up, and we’ll have a whole host of stars back.”
“If we can secure that play-off berth over the coming weeks, with a full strength side out there, I believe we can give anyone a run for their money.
On the importance of the supporters next week, and across Rugby League as a whole, he added: “We need to get Rugby League back up and running – we’ve done a pretty good job in keeping our supporters on board over there last 18 months, but across the league a lot of grounds are looking pretty empty.
“But we need a full house next week to get behind us to get that win, and we’ll need the full Black & White Army behind us!”
The Hull Derby is the city’s must-see event of the summer – with many areas of the MKM Stadium already reaching limited capacity, secure your tickets now, starting at just £20 for adults and £5 for juniors!
