Indeed, unless you get junior passes (which are very reasonably priced) it could be very expensive. We could be looking at 8 from 8 by the time we play Catalogs in late April, that will be a good barometer of where we are, but surely Huddersfield and Leeds can't continue as poor as they have been recently?

There will be very few Giants fans at this game.
Just thought i would get that in early before you start going on about the away support on Friday'"
Ive never though hudds have had many travelling fans anyway regardless of whatever season and how good they are doing even though there is a train direct to hull and would be really easy to get here. Although this year I have been really impressed by the amount of away fans, seems to have been more but I don't know if that is cos we have stuck them in the corner so it just looks more packed.

It's the trains back that are the problem. The last one to Leeds/Hudds is at 9:38.

That is the problem pretty much anywhere outside of London, there isn't the demand for late trains, but equally that has been dictated by the reduced supply over the years. You can't get from Hull to Brough after 8pm, not sure what time the last buses are either.
The impact of privatisation I am afraid.

Just checked and you are 100% correct, you can actually get back to Huddersfield, but it's not a direct service. Have to wait in Leeds for a connection.

| When you played on a Sunday there used to be loads of us came on the train...cracking day out...now it's almost impossible to get back unless you drive or go on the coach. But that's the way most clubs are going these days.

A quick look on THETRAINLINE.COM show plenty of trains back, but via Leeds.
I wish the whole game would move back to Sunday afternoon kick offs, but that ship has long since sailed!

The current timetable has the last train leaving Hull to go to Leeds/Hudds on a Friday night at 21:38, so if anyone was planning on getting that they'd have to leave at least 10/15mins before the end of the game.
It's not an option I'd take if I were a Huddersfield fan.

| If you really like trains, the 22:20 to Doncaster would eventually get you to Huddersfield at about 03:00am.
(Currently also delayed by engineering works!)

| Hull has always had a terrible late night train service for a city of its size , but it will improve when they replace all the manned signal boxes between Selby and Hull with automatic signals .{ Sound like a right anorak I know but its because I use the train to visit family..........honest }

| As soon as Friday nights became our predominant home fixture it nailed the coffin shut for swathes of away fans.
Whilst the focus of course is home fans, being that much further away than all the other clubs bar our 6 fingered neighbours it takes a heck of an effort to get here at the best of times.
A linked effort through the clubs and RFL not only to sort out transport (a late train option crossing east/west appears impossible these days) but also discounted away tickets like a season pass of sorts but choosing a minimum of 7 away games, with better discount for a full away ticket pass. The clubs that get chosen on the selection get the money up front from the respective clubs.
Also ability to buy tickets using electronic device with a digital id/passport and use 3d scanner to check code on screen or an oyster type card.
I'd like to see a RL car sharing website were people can offer/request a lift to games whether home or away fans.

| Can't say I recall "swaithes" of away fans visiting the KC on a Sunday afternoon.
We manage to take plenty across the country for night matches, such as Saints last week
I doubt that anyone went on train, either.
