How many will we take to Hull? 11:29 - Jan 7 with 3299 viewsSwans9

Over 1300 tickets on sale id be happy with 500. It's a long way with train prices through the roof. 2 off us are going to London first from Swansea then train from kings Cross to Hull change at Doncaster. Let's see what the former UK City of culture is like.

Get a couple of wins against Birmingham and Blackburn and the temperature rises. I think the OP is about right. It’s a horrible journey from Swansea by any means. Gives the usual bedwetters an opportunity to have a go at our away support which has been excellent over the past five weeks.

I think Hull has an unfair rep as a city - It's a decent away day and been there many times...

There's loads of pubs in the old town and city centre for all tastes but since they moved to the KC/MKM stadium we always take a cab up (you can walk it if you're not pushed for time) to top end of Princes Avenue north of the ground get dropped off at Garbutts and work our way down where there are lots of bars and places to eat - always reminds me a bit of a larger version of Uplands and likewise has a lot of students and young folk there. Pave is my go to drinking hole with a large range of foreign and UK beers but there are plenty of others and a couple of new ones - sadly the El Toro tapas bar has closed a shame as that ticked the beer and scran box for me...

From the bottom end there's The Zoological and over the road the Botanic pub on the corner is - or at least was - a busy community-run home fans pub packed full of Hull rugby and football memorabilia but it looks like they're not allowing any kind of away fans in anymore. Shame.

It's then a relatively short stroll to the away end...down Derringham onto Argyle St and take the footpath over the railway opposite Londesbrough..

The days of Boothferry and the Silver Cod are long gone where you had to run the gauntlet of the locals and have your wits about you all day long ....but you still should exercise caution around the ground before and after the match.

Hull fans in the main are decent down to earth Yorkshire folk and like a chat about footy over a beer but sadly like many of those with a reputation from the 80s/90s there's still an element lurking around outside the ground that target away fans ,even in recent years. Cover colours, head down, radio silence - the usual precautions...

Don't let that put you off though you'll be fine elsewhere and have a top - if long old - day out if you're sensible.

Just looked at trains and even advance non-flexi tix on specified trains are £122 and I'm a lot nearer to Hull than Swansea !! Absolute p-take the prices these days.

Fair play if you're making the long trek from Swansea.....Enjoy !

Silver Cod that brings back memories I remember 1991/ 1992 about 40 of us walking in just as the doors opened and sitting drinking in the back bar as their fans started coming in one at a time 🫤 and then onto Blackpool in the evening and bumping into Huddersfield fans that night! What a different time and a different life
Now the most risqué I do is try to look in the yellow sticker cooler in Tesco without being T boned by some OAP

After the first game at the KC we drove past there around 10pm at night with about only 5 or 6 big ugly units drinking inside...

Feeling brave we wanted to jump out take a photo with our Swans flag and then Foxtrot Oscar sharpish before they could react....

Designated driver didn't fancy getting stuck at the lights and getting the wing mirrors booted off so he refused....

Missed opportunity....

I know old age
A mate of mine still knows all our house telephone numbers when we all lived pwith parents. It was just after the game where Huddersfield fans run across the pitch towards the north bank! After the Hull game we were in Blackpool and they reminded us 1992 I think

Anyone know roughly have many we have sold. Pack a few jumpers for this one. Train coming back Monday stops at port talbot work on the line for over a week. If anybody is getting a train from the 26 Jan it will be bus replacement from port Talbot to Swansea.

Loads of pubs, i think not. There are a few that are decent, but compared to most cities it's a boring night out. One of the worse cities i've been too

Cracking effort from the 280 that were their in an era of the armchair fan. Can't blame Zan he been brilliant for us one of those days. I feel with the new owners we are going somewhere instead of the years of the previous owners. Well done all that travelled fans go to games.

I don't blame him for the same reason I don't blame defenders for scoring own goals, it's football it happens.

You can't defend Cabango sticking his hand out to concede a penalty that cost us the game surely. Is arm was so out in front, at first I thought is it a bird? Is it a plane? But it turned out to be Cabango the 🤡🙈

If Vipotnik had put his chances away like he normally does we wouldn't have lost.

Im not mate, far from it but as I said yesterday, vip has to take part of tbe blame.

The best thing imo is both players will be very angry for their mistakes.

Cabango will wonder 'wtf was i thinking' and vip will wonder 'wtf didnt I get both chances on target'

I agree that both will be gutted but wtf was Cabango doing with his arm stretched out in front of him. He complained to the ref that he was pushed but there was no push .🤷‍♂️
