On the other hand, Humberside were also unable to understand the workings of time, so maybe their competence could be a factor. At 7.30 a female caller said they were leaving, Humberside asked why it wasn't just worth waiting until the then suspected 8.30 kick off as it was only 30 minutes away. They followed that up with the question that if people thought they should be there at about 12, what would they expect them to do for 6 hours until an 8pm kick off? They then told us it was being moved to tomorrow night as Clark was on the pitch confirming Sunday afternoon.

| Why? I think the conduct of my clubs previous management is just as bad.
Would it have been really hard to get a message to the stewards to tell people they weren't sure if the game was going ahead?
Accusing me of being a drama queen yet you're taking this personally. If my club had taken 48 quid in match tickets, a fiver from parking from you when you had already paid for petrol I'd expect you to be annoyed and I would think my club was poorly run. I understand the stewards are employed by a different company but any sort of message would be better than just taking the money no questions asked.

I saw it 1st hand as was in the ground at 7-15 to get my kids usual seats in unreserved.There was plenty of outlets selling hot (overpriced) drinks and food.You start giving into 1..you get others....TBH,i cant see what the club could have done.

| Quote: Kosh "Quote: Kosh "They weren't, but it was obvious from Westerman's twitter feed that the game wouldn't be going ahead long before the game was even postponed. They had a stadium full of fans and, when it was their players who weren't present, they should have made a decision far sooner and communicated far better.
They could certainly have communicated with the SMC to ensure that people weren't being admitted to the stadium until the final decision had been reached.
Humberside were unable to get hold of anyone at the club to keep fans posted. A better idea of what was going on would have gone a long way to appeasing those sat shivering in the stadium. And then to refuse people the right to leave and come back just seems churlish.
Hull weren't responsible for the accident, but their handling of it was poor.'"
I wasn't aware that Westerman's twitter feed was the final authority in these matters.
According to Smailes the situation was changing constantly as the RFL ran back and forth between Hull and Bradford trying to keep the game on. At one point we were being told that we should change our squad and play the kids. Nothing could be announced until ALL THREE PARTIES agreed something and the RFL validated it. Maybe the reason Humberside couldn't get a definitive statement from the club was because the situation wasn't defined?
Maybe they did speak to the SMC and were told the turnstiles couldn't/wouldn't be closed as some people were already in the ground? Maybe H&S or the Police advised against it?
Trying to pin the blame without the full facts is a little pointless isn't it?'"
I don't think I said it was the final authority, did I? No, I definitely did not. But when he's posting 'still haven't moved, still haven't moved' repeatedly, it seems fairly obvious that moving is not a thing they're likely to be doing very soon.
And RH didn't need a definitive statement on anything, just an update on what was happening. FFS, Bradford were tweeting stuff several minutes before Hull and they were the away team. Next to nowt came out of the club save for the announcement that KO was 21.15, then the announcement that it was off.
That in itself was a farce. Whilst it wasn't solely Hull's fault, they should never have postponed and then called off like that. They took long enough to reach a decision between them, and still fukced it up.

The people stuck on the motorway were sat in a warm place, their cars/coaches of course there is a bloody difference.'"
Why young and old?????...My 13 yr old didnt complain at all and its not as though they have school on a sat morn is it.

| Just home from my 4 hour attempt to reach Hull. It was obvious to me stuck in the traffic that at around 7.30 there was no chance of reaching Hull for 9:15. Only problem for us fans based in West Yorkshire is the weather forecast for Sunday is heavy snow here

No team can just cancel a match without the agreement of the other team and the officials.

13 is a bit different to 3, 4 and 5 year olds sitting in the cold bored.

Could be 100 degrees and they will still get bored at that age.

Young & old are very susceptible to the cold conditions, however every-one should have been given the option to seek a warm area if they choose to do so due to the delay, like I have stated I hope lessons are learnt from this and a simple solution such as hand stamps are considered as a contingency plan in the future.

| The most ridiculous aspect of it was the overhead motorway sign just before the A1M turn off which said M62 junction 34 to 35 15 mins delay. Which muppet at the highways agency had that up, it should have been advising people to turn off.

10603.jpg Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?:10603.jpg |

| 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.
