Will probably make my first trip over to Hull after the summer (with my Swedish posse). But which game should I pick? Sat 6 15:00 H Blackpool FLC Sat 20 15:00 H Crystal Palace FLC Sat 27 15:00 H Reading FLC September Sat 17 15:00 H Portsmouth FLC October Sat 1 15:00 H Cardiff City FLC Tue 18 19:45 H Birmingham FLC Sat 22 15:00 H Watford FLC November Sat 5 15:00 H West Ham Utd FLC Sat 26 15:00 H Burnley FLC December Sat 3 15:00 H Leicester City FLC Sat 17 15:00 H Millwall FLC Or should I travel to an away game in London or such, in which you actually don't need to travel half the freaking world too get to (Hull aint that easy to reach from Sweden) Not one single away game in London during the autumn though How much does it cost you guys to travel from London to Hull? (OLM should know?) If Hull, where should we stay during the two nights? (As cheap as possible, but I prefer if the place is reasonably decent What does a ticket usually cost? ETC
come to blackpool...usually guaranteed decent weather, and a decent crowd and atmosphere for the 1st game...
Ye do Blackpool, Palace will be good if they bring the same support as last time. There is a new Travelodge in Hull city centre which are reasonable if you book em early doors!
There isn't anywhere decent to stay in Hull. If you've never been before, lower your expectations. I'll take you round on a Saturday night though
If you're coming to the KC, I'd pick a game that will have decent away support, so there's a good atmosphere, either West Ham or Leicester. I remember us looking at this before, but I can't remember if there was an issue, is it not easier for you to go to Manchester? (it's much nearer to Hull than London, though there are direct trains from both - I never get the train, so I don't know how much it is, but my daughters about to get back from Uni, I'll ask her) If you want somewhere handy, the Holiday Inn Express is in the city centre, next to the train station and close to the ground, it's also new so will be decent and it's about £50 a night. http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/gb/en/kingston-upon-hull/huyuk/hoteldetail The match ticket will be somewhere around £25(I can't remember if the prices have actually been confirmed yet).
There is absolutely no reason why you should pay anything more than £10 to get to Hull on a megabus if you book it in advance, if you are lucky you might get it for less than £5 The train you are looking at about 35 quid probably for a return at the cheapest expect it to be more around 45 though it really depends on the times.
If you're not fussed about the level of accommodation you could always stop at the Campernile near Paragon Station ....£36 for a room between two people and after a few bevies all you want is a bed anyway
1/ You can only book 12 weeks ahead; the train co's have to publish fares and times up to 12 weeks ahead (currently early Sept) 2/ Don't think you can book from abroad (you can't from U.S.) so someone here will have to book - and PAY - here.
Friend of mine just rang me from the States - before Febbos' post - and she told me she can't. Someone here has to do it for her.
There are about 6 different websites you could use, which specific one was she having problems with, it might be worth noting it could be an EU thing. Seems odd though. Shame you aren't coming to a London away Febbos I would have probably come and met you for a drink! also a bloody shame that Southampton is away on a ****ing tuesday night pissed my plans up of getting there and back even from London I don't think I can be arsed.
so why not get a cheap flight to amsterdam have a jolly then a cheap flight to humberside airport or the p&o from rottterdam to hull (winter its buy 1 get 1 free on the ferry)
So... Hull-Blackpool London and bus up to Hull Some random hostel (?) called Campernile Pay around 25 quid for a ticket Missed anything? Allowed to bring flags into the stadium I suppose? So you can see where the mighty Febbos is
I've stayed in a Campernile before it was very nice I thought, it's basically exactly like an American Motel that you would see in a horror movie without the Psychopaths and Rapists, and they provide breakfast too so what can you complain about, nothing to do there but then that isn't why you are coming is it.
Campanile is on the corner of Beverley Road/Freetown Way.......just about 4/500 metres from The Hull Interchange.
I only know it because thats where a few mates are staying in Feb for the Bristol game (my 40th)....although I suspect the sheets may be the wipe clean sort http://www.campanile-hull-city-centre.co.uk/en/index.aspx
hit a policeman as your leaving the pub, and youl get free accomodation for the evening..and judging by a recent tv programme, youl have a good laugh while your there...
