Cant come at all now its Monday and living down West would mean a day off work monday and a seriously late night getting back home that night/early morning tuesday
Would have done either. Monday is also half term so my young daughter will get to experience a big cup tie with an evening atmosphere as I think there should be a good gate, albeit not many Hull Tiger fans!
Seriously disappointed. I was about to book Friday to Sunday flights but have long standing commitments at work for the Monday so will have to resign myself to seeing us progress from the pub in Glasgow.
Was ok with either Sat or Sunday, but no way can get there for Monday night. Already had to book the Tuesday off for the Leeds game the on the Tuesday the week before. Good income for the club, just a shame the FA and premiership have sold the fans down the river in preference to allowing players to be paid unrealistic wages
Being self employed 'Wrong Direction' and I are very lucky to pack up at lunch time for evening games (after an all day GUTBUSTER BREKKIE)
We both live ten/fifteen minutes away if the bus is on time
Very lucky compared to most fans, but I have kept Dicks Bar in PROFIT for the last three and a half years
I now have to blag leaving work early and rush back from Bromley where I'm working that day. Probably won't have time for a beer, will most likely be caught in the train scrum and will arrive tired and hungry.
It's a minor inconvenience -- we had tickets for Van Morrison at the Dome on Monday 17th. Have swapped them for (rather worse) seats at the second gig on Tuesday 18th because of the Hull match (and incurred a fee for the privilege).
The irony is, that we originally booked for the Tuesday gig, and then I swapped them to the Monday gig (for worse seats, and incurring a fee), because of an inaccurate rumour on NSC that the Leeds match was going to be moved to Tuesday 18th because of the clash with Port Vale.
So the net effect is that we're going to the same gig we originally planned to go to on the same date, but in much worse seats and having had two extra admin fees. On top of that Van the man will probably be sh*t, as always seems to happen when I go to see people whose music I liked in my 20s.
evening games when you have nearly 100 miles to travel each way (and have no holiday left to take) are a right pain. Was really looking forward to it but feel rather deflated now.
On holiday:
Saturday I would not have been able to follow the game at all.
Monday I now have a perfect window to follow it at Miami airport - hopefully there'll be a sports bar showing it! At the very least I'll have NSC.
I'm going. So are my kids and brother. However, we are in the family stand and on a Saturday it's packed around us. I know it's half term but evening games are never well attended in there (barring palace). I think there'll be large gaps all around now unfortunately. Would have been different if we'd drawn a big club.
