well yeh it would be better if it was on a sunday but its not and id expect hudds to travel with a decent amount of numbers on friday other teams do it. at the end of the day people can make excuses but fans you generally want to support the tem on the day and want to go the match they will go and make some arrangments and whell see on friday. im sick of watching games at the kc were away team bring a few hundred fans when there are other teams who bring alot more.

ATEOTD there is also the debate about what constitues decent numbers at an away game. Hull take very decent numbers for sure but consistently over estimate the numbers they bring, much as they under estimate everyone elses as part of the 'My Dad's biggeer than your Dad' game. It's the same every year.
There were just over 1,500 Bulls fans at the Galpharm last week which whilst not as many as they've brought before is still a decent following IMO. It's nobody elses place to judge numbers or to impose their own ability to attend and thus their own circumstances on to other people. The away support hasn't been the best for a while for a plethora of reasons but it is improving. Still, it wont stop certain people from seeing fit to sit in judgement and talk a load of garbage in the process, will it.
At least the two Hull trips are done in consecutive weeks so we can get a big dose of this kind of crap out of the way early doors.
If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

People with jobs that don't finish until x time, people with kids, people who don't want to drive and with the coaches setting off at 5pm because of roadworks and speed cameras.
It will make a difference.
Realistically there are very few (other than in the catering trade and in the emergency services) who work after 5.30pm on a Friday. Are you seriously suggesting that all children go to bed at a set time every day? Are you also suggesting that some would rather pay more per head for an early coach than choose the more frugal option and drive?
Ok, so you have no real arguement (other than apathy). That's you perogative.

I don't work in the catering trade or the emergency services but quite frequently end up working at times outside your narrow little boundaries.
Taking young children to rugby league matches on a cold Friday night when they're very likely not to get home until approaching midnight (11pm my a4se) is not what I would term sensible.
Some people would not take their cars to Hull. How do I know? Well I'm one of them.
ATEOTD I have plenty of arguments, they just don't suit you and your narrow minded views that you require to give it the high and mighty, we're better than you piffle.
