Problem Hull Kingston Rovers have is that many away teams won't fill that stand which holds 2600, Rovers knowing that split it into 3 sections, The R & O are designated away section whilst the V & E are on general sale from rovers. The other R & S is a designated family section. It would have been daft for Rovers to build an £8m stand and not sell season passes for it to home supporters as it's the best seated stand in the ground. Think Rovers have split it correctly with the option of more seats for the away club if they sell initial allocations.

Everything east of the Humber bridge

If you want a nice meal I'd recommend Stanley's Brasserie, directly opposite your hotel, if you're going for a beer, give the immediate area, known as the New Town a miss, and either walk a couple of minutes to the old Town (more or less Whitefriargate onwards) or jump in a taxi (plenty outside your hotel) and head to the Princes Ave area (probably only a couple of quid) but it will be quite busy.

Mother flipper! I went up very early Saturday morning and specifically asked if they would be getting any more seats to be told no! We are stood under the seats. I'm going back up there tomorrow to book transport. I'm going to try and swap our tickets for seats.

Definitely the old town if you want a decent pint.
The Lion and key or Hawks bar are probably the best two for the real ale drinkers imo.
Ye old white hart if you like a bit of nostalgia thrown in with your pint, don't worry about the Skull in the glass case looking at you while you supp your ale.

I'd favour the Old Town myself. Princes Ave area is nice enough, some decent boozers, but it's not different from simlar parts of any other city. Hull's old town has a great choice of realy nice old pubs doing good beer, which is less easy to find these days.

Hardly any away teams take 2600 travelling fans to a regular season game. Fans of many clubs will tell you otherwise. But they're either lying or horribly misguided. FC might for the derby. Nobody else would fill that stand, including Leeds, so I'd say Rovers have got it about right. It's hard to count because League fans don't need segregating, and lots don't buy through their own club's ticket offices, but I doubt Leeds (who have more away fans than most) take more than 1500 fans over the M62 very often.

Never done KR before, how far from the Train Station?
Many going via Train from Leeds, if so what time you setting off?

Too far to walk from station, but buses run from the adjacent interchange, not sure which or when, but Id imagine they will be pretty regular due to it being a fairly large estate around the ground, I'll look it up when I get a minute and post before next weekend.

So if we have sold out "R", "O" and nearly sold out "S" plus a fair few in the Well, we could be looking at a good 1,500 tickets sold. That's not too bad for a trip to KR to be fair.

Trains are not very frequent on a Sunday. Direct ones from Leeds to Hull at 10.22 and 13.01, and they take pretty much bang on an hour to get there.

As for getting to the ground, if there are a few of you, id look at a taxi (particularly if you get the 13.01 train). It cost us £8 from the train station to the ground last year, and is probably easier than trying to find your way on the bus.

I've never done Rovers away before either and ironically I've lived in Hull for 7 years now!

Just in the past I've always had something else planned when this fixture comes around..
But I do make the extra effort to go to the KC every year because the wife and inlaws are die hard Black & Whites!
