Travellers' Information - Tiger Travel Coaches depart from the South Stand car park/stadium bowl/emergency road at 8am prompt and, as previously stated, because of the volume of coaches and due to Walton Street Market taking place on the same day, we are unable to offer any on-site parking for supporters using our Tiger Travel service and there will be no vehicular access to the stadium car parks (with the exception of disabled blue badge holders, see information below) on the day. For those arriving by car, there will be a drop-off point at the Sports Arena on Walton Street. However, for those travelling in by car, the Club has been working with a number of third parties to offer alternatives to try and make access a little easier for supporters and these can be found below.

Our last meeting with the Blades... [video=youtube;oox19yZGezs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oox19yZGezs[/video]
We've had some decent matches with the Blades in recent years. That 3-2 at Bramall Lane where Unsworth scored in the last few minutes to win it for them after City battled back to make it 2-2. Also, remember the ref had somehow missed a blatant penalty (i think it was on Stuart Green). Then someone ran on the pitch to confront Paddy Kenny. Decent turnout & atmosphere in the City end that day. Then a few years later we reversed it and won a thriller 3-2 at Bramall Lane ourselves. Wish i'd have gone to that Boxing Day match. Remember kicking something in disgust when we blew the 2-0 lead. Only for the great last minute winner. Cameron Stewart actually looked like a useful player back then.
Yes. Yes he did. Our club commentators are ****ing awful to be fair, so there's no surprise whatsoever.
I don't know if ours is done by one bloke or if he does the whole league but he's pretty poor too. He doesn't come across as being biased. Either way, you can see why we wanted Cameron Stewart though. Crazy how much confidence can affect someone so much.
Hull City fans keep an eye on Sheffield Utd defender Harry Maguire. Steve Bruce has already had him watched a few times and will watch him up close again. Plus, can now see him up against PL players. As for the game, I am expecting us to win but it wont be a given.
One of my favourite away trips of recent times. Who remembers staying back to watch the replay of our winning goal on the big screen? Very bizarre of the home club to replay a visiting team's winner in such a manner. I also caught Swine Flu at that match.
First leg of journey started...I'm in HULL ready to get coach on Sunday morning.....female friend will be setting off to the lake district on Saturday morning with my sister leaving me behind . So it's Wembley first then lake district on Monday . Female friend can't understand why a silly football match is more important then going to the lakes on Sunday COME ON CITY WE CAN GET TO THE FINAL.
