Well it hasn't looked that way 2 weeks in a row now.
Anyway, apologies Hull FC fans for coming on in pure anger yesterday.
I set off for work at 7, set straight off for Hull when I finished at 5, then spent all night driving up and down then being severely pi$$ed off. I hope you can understand why I was so angry.
I can look at the Hull clubs pov more clearly now, but I still maintain that there are some very bad communications issues between your club and the stadium management/the fans etc.
Hope I can still make it over on Sunday. I've had to cancel work, so I hope it doesn't snow like some are saying it will

| Quote: BP1 "I was at that one, seem to recall it was called off due to a frozen pitch (January maybe?) about 40 minutes before kick-off.
We then got back in my mate's car for the journey home and the head gasket promptly blew about 200 yards down the road and we came to a spluttering halt.
He had to call out National Breakdown to get us and the car back to Hull, whereupon he discovered that his policy didn't cover him for out of town breakdowns so he ended up shelling out something like £250 to get the stricken car (and us) all the way back to sunny Hull.
He still gets reminded about it every so often. Strangely enough he still doesn't see the funny side.'"
At least you got there,we set off from Hedon and my mate rear ended someone at Saltend roundabout,that was as far as we got.lol

It's really not hard to grasp. It didn't matter what time the players set of given these circumstances. If the motor way gets closed and you are in a position of not being able to get to a diversion what realistically could these player do?
So posts on here are insinuating that the players affected should have known there would be a major incident..
So let's say the club insist on players being at the ground 4 hours before kick off. What happens if there had been an accident at 3pm rather than 5 pm? Would there be the same rubbish comments saying they should have set off even earlier?
I can't understand why some are looking to point the finger of blame here. It was a set of unique circumstances. End of.'"
Did you not see my very first sentence? I didn't blame the players, I didn't even complain about the game having to be postponed. The situation has highlighted a possible issue with our pre-match preparation so I gave an opinion on it.

A point being consistently missed.

It's just the way people are nowadays. It's not exclusive to Hull fans or even sports fans - you see it all the time. There has to be [isomebody[/i to blame for every setback or incident, a target for outrage and finger-pointing. We seem to have lost the ability to realise that, sometimes, sh*t just happens.

No i think your missing the point. A Hull FC HOME game has had to be postponed because Hull FC players cannot get to the game when everyone else seems to manage it inc the Opposition team. That to me is pathetic

Or A1 / A63 to Howden
Or A1 / A64 to York, then A1079
Of course this all relies on not being stuck between junctions as our players were. How many of us got stuck at Castleford coming back home from the GF?

No Seb you have missed the point, a police escort was able to guide the Bulls bus to the stadium via an exit, however the FC players where nearer to the accident which was past the exit point used to guide the Bulls bus,so the FC players could not get the same escort, the FC players set off to the KC earlier than the Bradford players!

| 250 mile round trip but at least we didn't lose
Shit happens - nothing could be done about it. It's not realistic to expect the players to wait around for hours on end when they're mostly less than a one hour commute away. Maybe they'll change arrangements a bit as a result but some things happen in life which just have to be put down to experience.
Couldn't believe the level of moaning and slagging by some on the radio last night. It's an inconvenience nothing more - some people are professional ers and moaners. Good job they didn't have to live through a world war or two. Now they were serious.

Well you'd be the expert on pathetic.
You've not understood anything that happened last night, have you? Bradford made it to the KC last night because they were [ibehind[/i the FC players and were able to get off the motorway - and even then they needed a police escort. Pure dumb luck. Had the Fc players actually left [ilater[/i they probably would have made it.
