Radford wants FC fans fired up on Friday

Hull FC coach Lee Radford is hoping that his club’s fans are in a passionate mood when Catalans Dragons visit the KC Stadium on Friday evening.

The Catalans have picked up seven consecutive wins on their current run, while FC are in strong form themselves, having won six of their last seven.

“We’re coming up against a fantastic opposition and hopefully we can use our home advantage,” Radford said.

“The Stadium is going to be bouncing and I’m asking every man and his dog to turn out for us. They will have a huge influence on our performance and the result.

“The work the club is doing off the field has been huge.

“We are Hull. We are proud. So come and show your support because we’ll be even prouder on Friday if we get the result.

“You couldn’t have written the script any better.

“If you look at our team, it’s full of superstars. If you look at their team on paper, it’s full of big superstars.

“I wish I could go as a neutral to watch it because it’s going to be a fantastic event.”
