Subsidised coach travel to Hull ??

[The Wookiee]

So the game appears to be next Monday night, I just wonder if there might just be some sort of gesture from the club with subsidised coach travel up to the game ? Let's say a tenner per per person ? Loads of other clubs run similar schemes, reckon we would at least double the support !

Would you go if something like this was in place ?

I don't think "loads" of other clubs do it, do they?

You occasionally hear of that sort of gesture, usually when it's an important game, or has previously been postponed/abandoned in deeply annoying circumstances. But it's by no means a regular thing.

Yes

Ok maybe not a regular thing, but clubs have done it before, and owing to the dreadful travel conditions tonight and the fact the game is on a Monday night, think it would be a great PR excersise if the club did something like this, you never know Meridian and South Today might get gripped with cup fever and get a camera crew down to the pick up point interviewing weary eyed fans boarding coaches !

Come on where's your romance gone ?

I might even get my lad to make a tin foil fa cup !!!

What's the cheapest train ticket to Hull and will people be able to stay 'til the 90 minutes are up (let alone ET/pens) without missing the last train home?

Are Portsmouth or Gillingham playing then ?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Oh it would be nice PR, I just can't see it happening, that's all. I think they did buy people who went to Middlesbrough a pint though....

If they did run a cheap coach, I'd seriously think about it. As it stands, I've already sounded out work about getting the Monday & Tuesday off, so will probably drive up.

Any wordsmiths out there care to draft a well constructed e-mail to Mr Barber suggesting this ?

No chance.

What's everyone moaning about a Monday in Hull for? If you believe everything on NSC, it'll be much easier to get to than The Amex.

Excellent reply sir. Made me smile. Lets resign Barnes too.

Hull on a Monday? Sorry but I'm washing my cat.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I've never actually been to Hull, either the city or the ground.

I'm desperate to get the day off work so I can go and see if it's as good as people say

 

[elninobonito]

Defo thinking of driving up depending on ticket prices?

 

[happypig]

Due to Uefa regulations the coach has to be driven by an apprentice

 

[Foolg]

Got myself a £10 train voucher, so only £6 return from Sheffield. Problem is if it goes to extra time and pens I either wait til 5.20am by myself for the first train, or have to leave early.

Oh well, think i'll take the risk as it's a new ground for me.

It's going to be a European Capital of Culture, for God's sake. Why WOULDN'T you want to go?

You can try all you like, but you can't polish a turd.

Last train to get back to London goes at 20:56 !!! Best find a B&B.
