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'"
The players do that run on a regular basis. Their assessment of when to leave seems to be pretty good as this is the first time they've failed to arrive in time and it's taken a major incident to do it. |

If players arriving at work a couple of hours early is too much for them then they might benefit from something to stop them feeling that way. How much too early is that then..is that better than being late or not arriving at all. I know what I would expect as an employer.

I've heard PG's been on the phone to Sharpy asking him to keep a lookout for a beach house in Manly.
Don't know if it's true like?

You're either being incredibly unfair or incredibly stupid. |

| Quote: chico's nose "First and foremost, I understand that accidents can happen at any time, and often cause massive disruption for people caught up in the aftermath. I must also point out that I sincerely hope that nobody has been seriously hurt; however, I can’t help but feel that this cancellation could have all been avoided and reflects badly on Hull FC.
For far too long, I have gone to various watering holes for pre match drinks before home games only to witness players drive past heading to the KC stadium with only 90mins or so to go before kick off. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that this is potentially
pushing the boundaries in case something goes wrong, and today the club has been found lacking in professionalism in this area imo.
Yes there was an accident that caused significant disruption, but the simple fact remains that the Bradford Bulls (with the aid of a police escort), match officials, a small proportion of away fans and a section of FC fans that travel down the M62 to home games all managed to make their way to the KC, yet some of our starting 17 didn’t!!!!
Some people might not agree with this opinion, but I can only imagine what the post would be like if we had travelled to Odsal only for the game to be cancelled under the same circumstances.
Hull need to learn lessons from this and ensure that in future all players are in Hull for a pre match meal and final video session 3 to 4 hours before kick off.'"
Please refer to my earlier post. If you get caught in the mo mans land of between junction and accident it appears it doesn't matter what time you set of, if there is an accident you could just be unlucky. |

What makes you think that the time they arrive at the stadium is up to the players to decide?  |

why is it unfair though?
I hear about the M62 and it's problems on a friday all the time, why would you leave yourself such a small window when arriving earlier by a few hours should have no bearing whatsoever. By not arriving at all or risking that chance is just crazy to put yourself in that position |

Doesn't matter if the players or the club take the repsonsibility, it's wrong for who is making the decision to leave no leeway for the given journey on that road at that time of day(rush hour on a friday). This time it has gone tits up due to unforseen circumstances that with better advance planning could well have been avoided.

AP should buy Parkers.
Convert the upstairs into 17 self-contained luxury apartments and make sure the boys all reside there the night before games.
He could gat Radders to march them all across West Park in single file, arms swinging, at 5-55pm prompt matchnights?
Simplez.

I'd get you PGs number so you can tell him, but I'm too busy planning for unforeseen circumstances  |
