Nothing quite whets the appetite for an FA Cup fifth round replay like a good old pre-match light show.
With Arsenal in town, Hull City greeted their opponents with a flashing light display at the KC Stadium.
It’s become a bit of a tradition before big games on Humberside… here’s a similar display from earlier in the season.
Anyone fancy a Hull City-esque light show at the Amex next game? #BHAFC pic.twitter.com/a7YE3qYdlv

The display which welcomed Arsene Wenger’s side certainly made waves on Twitter, although not everyone was completely impressed.
That 'light show' would seriously get on my nerves at Hull

Some Arsenal fans even suggested that the idea had been stolen from them…

We can’t see this one becoming an FA Cup tradition any time soon, but it certainly made for a unique curtain raiser for tonight’s game.
