Or indeed, Catalan last season.

and if you don't even arrive on time the match prep goes out the window which is what happened. i'm alaying blame to Bradford club also as they only got through by fortune.
If you think setting out at 4pm from WY for an 8pm kick-off in Hull on a Friday afty on a notorious stretch of road that has few off roads along its length then you don't understand logistics which takes precendance over arriving a few hours earlier for a game. The match prep has ZERO influence so to spout it as a defence to arriving much earlier is utter garbage

| Some of the reactions by our fans is pathetic. 18th man - that's a joke.
Could communication have been better, possibly but, it was an everchanging situation.
Should players have been there earlier, I don't think so as it can have a negative impact on performance plus Gentle would know better than anyone on here so if he is happy then it's good enough for me.
I had a 100 mile round trip and was annoyed but it was a freak accident.

Maybe you could list all the other occasions when this 'notorious stretch of road' has caused the players to arrive late for a game?

| I'd also like to say that it was toasty warm in the pass holders bar. I took my coat off but was still too hot. Very poor of the club not to turn the heating off

| M62 still closed. Anyone run across fields to provide emergency sarnies and tea for t'lads? Is Sunday's KO in doubt?

No it's not. Players can become mentally and physically tired and burning up nervous energy isn't good. This is probably the reason why Gentle has set it up this way.
Of course maybe you know better eh!

Do you actually think before you post?
Do you regularly drive on the M62?

Rich Whiting, among others, said its not ideal to be there too early, and clearly the coaching staff have no problem with it. So why is it nonsense?
Anyone got PG's phone number?

I regularly drive all over the UK. I used to do the M62 regularly, nowadays my main commute is the M5/M6. Not sure what the relevance is as I asked a pretty simple question...
How many times have players been late for games before tonight due to problems on the M62?

Maybe a better question would be how many times any person hasn't been delayed on journeys into Hull along the M62 full stop never mind on a Friday afternoon. that they are players for a professional sport should ensure you take account of the road you are on, the day and time of travel. clearly there is no leeway in the travel plans
Sensibly you would be leaving at 1pm after people have gone back to work from lunch and long before people start to filter for the friday afternoon rush...IMO of course
I'm not frothing or even that bothered but trying to make the point that it could/should have been avoided
