Match Day Thread Play Off Final. Hull City v Boro

[BlackAndAmberGambler]

Wearing the League 1 Champions shirt tomorrow. It’s the only one that fits anymore. Oh and amber trainers.

 

[oldman]

Trying to debate on which shirt to wear?

15/16 I wore to Wembley last time out!

16/17 I wore to the Norwich game, but the PL sleeve badges came loose so had to glue them back on!

12/13 I just dug it out!

Personally leaning towards the 16/17!

Got my 16-17 drying on the line with a couple of blackouts in reserve

 

[HHH]

I'll be wearing a crisp, white cotton polo shirt.

My main issue is the brace I've got strapped around my ankle.

Some clowns said Boro would have 5,000 there, another 20,000 max. They have sold out all their tickets in 48 hours so will have more than us there as we still have about 5,000 left.

well... thats less money and more money than they deserve in gate receipts for the loser...

I think its really fair that a second trip in a week to London is a push for many...

"Middlesbrough is historically and statistically considered a bigger football club than Hull City. While both sides are closely matched contemporary competitors in the EFL Championship, Boro edges out the Tigers across most traditional metrics of "club size," including major trophies won, time spent in the top flight, and average fan attendance.

The clearest separator between the two clubs is silverware. Middlesbrough has tasted major domestic success, winning the League Cup (Carling Cup) in 2004 and famously reaching the UEFA Cup Final in 2006. They have also spent 61 seasons in the top tier of English football."

I don't mind supporting an under dog. #UTT

Early release? How the **** are you gonna get back to Hull for 7pm?

Fashion wise...I've just dug out a nice salmon pink fred perry,black golf shorts and a nice little black gilet to carry my wallet,phone,tickets,medications,chewing gum,deodorant and mobile phone charger.

Travelling light,Glasgow

Very true. Many people will have committed to the Challenge Cup the following week.
Two visits to Wembley within a week would be out of reach for many.

The little Hull that has 100,000 more inhabitants than the small town in Yorkshire?

Don't be silly he's talking about all the plastics who went to the FA cup last weekend.

That was the plan but I couldn't get 'Sorrel' on the plane,apparently horses take up too much excess baggage allowance..

KIck off this time tomo!!

 

[Newland Tiger]

Stops opposition fans getting tickets if its only to members.

Selling to people with a ticket buying history is surely good enough ?

We have a 100% record of beating bigger Yorkshire clubs than us at Wembley.

**** me, I’m starting to get a bit nervy. Planned to set off for my 74 mile drive to the hotel at 8:30am But want to go now. In my mind I can see that I could get to the Fer Ark pub, have a couple of pints, get to Wembley Way and just stand there waiting for the day to build.

For the 2008 play off, I drove to Hull on the Friday, stayed with family and then six of us in my car (one in the boot) drove down to Harrow, parked at a pub (The Landlord actually paid me one of his outstanding parking fines and gave us all a lift to the station).
I drove back to Hull after the game and came back on the Monday.

This feels so similar.

Except one big difference.

What the club is doing for its supporters.

Does anyone remember being in a pub and the whole squad walked past. I think it was the FA Cup?

Just brilliant.

Yes, was in a pub in West London somewhere and the team walked by, going from hotel to coach. All very surreal. FA Cup final if dodgy memory serves me well.
