Hull: Saturday > Monday - what does it mean for you?

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Will still come, but pain in the arse. Now need to arrange overnight accommodation as well as Blackburn away.

 

[Gwylan]

Was going on the Saturday but Mrs Gwylan is going out on the Monday night so I'll be on child-minding duty. Still, it's half-term so the kids will be allowed to stay up and watch the game on TV, so it's not all bad

Not ideal but my group has actually grown now. A chance to get to round 6 is a big incentive.

 

[The Large One]

I thought I'd have a rant about it meself...

Great news for me and my lad as we are away at the weekend and were gutted to be missing it, but we'll be there now. Generally agree it'll be overall negative in terms of attendance and probably atmosphere, although being half term it might mean a flood of potential new support is dragged along. That'll largely depend on the performance and result............

 

[dazzer6666]

TLO - properly good rant on the draw by the way

 

[blue'n'white]

Probably zero chance of transport to get there so probably zero chance of going now. Bloody Sky/BT balls it up for the normal fan. Not at all happy

 

[Algernon]

Drove down from home, Newmarket, Suffolk with the Missus and two of my three (adult) kids for the Reading game. We had already discussed all 5 of us coming down for this round if it was on a Saturday. Now I'm waiting to hear if my Son will have the afternoon free from work, if so then it'll just be the two of us. If he can't then I'll stay at home and stream it from somewhere.

The whole family is disappointed it's on the Monday, looks like we'll be coming down for a league game later on in the year instead.

Not going now, I was looking forward to a Saturday 3pm kick off, but Mondays are always a busy day at work and I would struggle to make kick off.

Pleased that the Albion are getting paid for it to be on TV but this would have been a good cup tie on a Saturday.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Had Saturday off, but am working on the Monday evening so it depends entirely on whether I can book the shift as annual leave.

Which, given that it's half term, and the parents on my section tend to book leave that week, I'm not entirely confident about.

So yep, I'm pissed off.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I was going to go if on the Saturday but as I finish work at 18:30 on weekdays in Winchester I won't make it on time so I won't now be going. Pity but will have to make do with TV.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Easy solution to the tailback is drive to the Kingston roundabout and turn round. No tailback or very little from the east.

We've done this before when there's been congestion getting off the eastbound A27 at the Hollingbury intersection. If you're saying that there was no significant westbound congestion at the intersection for the Bridge/UoS CPs at the Reading game then maybe we'll give it a go?

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Will we know what team lies in wait in the next round before we play Hull ?
When does the draw for the 6th round take place ?

 

[TomandJerry]

I'll still be going!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Would have been on telly at 11 on Saturday night, now at 4 on a Tuesday morning so not completely chuffed

Opposite result for me .
Gone from Sunday 2.am to Tuesday 6.45 .am .

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Sunday 1:30am to Tuesday 6:15am a pain either way but will listen / watch

It is now a lunchtime kick-off on Presidents Day for me (which my company takes as a Holiday), so suits me down to the ground.

Suits me as well as it's Family Day here in Ontario. Hopefully they'll have the game on down my local.

 

[OzMike]

I voted for, none of us will be coming, because of the time difference staying up late on Sat no probs, but Monday with Tuesday being a work day I can't do.
I am self employed but still have a family to maintain, so work it is.
