Sorry to keep banging on about this game, but what a contrast to our treatment of football fans, this also includes Orlando Magic who play an hour later, this is in local paper online; >City and team officials have taken steps to help fans get downtown on Sunday. The city, Magic and Lions are paying $20,000 to fund free SunRail service Sunday. The train will stop at all 12 stations. Lymmo buses will be running, as well as a shuttle from downtown to the Citrus Bowl. Orlando City has also agreed to pay the Central Florida Expressway Authority about $1,500 to waive tolls near the Citrus Bowl after the game. The crowds won't be confined to Sunday. To celebrate the Lions' MLS debut, several downtown bars are collaborating for a Saturday afternoon pub crawl, which organizers hope will break a world record for pub-crawl attendance.<
Ffs stop comparing us and them. They do not have the history, the legacy or the general problems we have around and in football or even around society.
It's was to point out the help the clubs are giving to the fans, remember Boxing Day when not a bus was to be found, and can you imagine pubs in Hull organizing a massive pub crawl for football fans the cops would have seizures. Our owners the Allams are greedy ****ing bastards who have nothing but contempt for us fans, and the latest news about the unused £200k fund to subside away games proves they are just ****s, that's why I keep banging on about the difference with the yanks and us.
You're comparing apples and coal. It's stupid. The buses was the bus companies. A massive pub crawl through any city by English football fans in their hundreds would be a total disaster. Your last paragraph just shows what a **** you are.
And you Sir are a ****ing prick can't you understand words on a page you inbred ****, Orlando City are paying to run free buses and free road tolls to help fans get home, Allam has done jack **** for City fans but wish we were dead, and you are a complete and utter ****** for supporting him, here try reading this again more slowly or get your mam to read it for you.

The £200k Away Supporters Fund is looking like a disorganised mess, four away games left to announce and we've only spent a few grand on discounted travel to Arsenal(which we didn't even announce). We need to pretty much give away all the tickets for the remaining away's to use all the available funds.
I was correct, there is no reply to **** Off, anyway in the real world now his mam has sent him to bed for being rude, Allam has even lied that the FA cup tie tickets at Arsenal were reduced using the fund, it's a disgrace that the club can keep this money and not use it as it was intended for the away fans.
There's not a lot of trust out there at the moment, on Twitter today I've seen many suggestions for where it's gone, ranging from solicitors fees, to FFP fines, to diamond encrusted Rolls-Royce hubcaps or a private plate for the Allam Marine golf buggy.
Hardly surprising if the standard of those claiming that are as dense as Stevie there. He really used the "your mam" line didn't he?
The longer we stay in the Premier League the supporter will suffer even more, even though the income is rising by billions the greedier the clubs become, £50 to watch a football match in Hull is outrageous. Allam is raping the club just like Ashley, I don't mind any owner making money but to steal money designated for away fans is disgraceful, how any Hull City fan thinks this is acceptable is no fellow supporter to me. Two thing need to happen, Allam goes or we get relegated, either way I win, goodbye thief, or goodbye Prem supporter.
Things like that are fairly common here, I could provide plenty of examples of travel deals, metros running late for fans, buses, bar crawls, huge street parties at opening day etc. It's also probably not fair like Happy says to compare us to them but it is certainly the type of thing one can aspire to. Lots of times the teams are forced into it here it's not all voluntary either even if they say they are doing it voluntarily.
That's the point ellewoods, we were given £200k to fund discounts for away trips and with only four away games yet to be announced, we still haven't said what we're doing with it.
Sure I understand that and it should be addressed. Im just saying that both Happy and you all are correct. Things need to get better, nothing wrong with trying other things that other teams do around the world, and yes in a lot of respects it probably isnt fair to compare a team here and HCAFC. For example, the the local USL team gives you free parking at the stadium and has police that help direct traffic after the game to make it go smother and is talking about operating free buses this season as well for every game. The owners also are worth 5 billion dollars (allams dont even have enough money to buy one of our USL teams). So its just that both of you can be correct even though you are making different arguments is all.
Na the Red Bulls play Sporting Kansas City. Orlando City play New York City FC. Really should just combine this with our MLS thread for the season so we dont have a ton of MLS threads floating around.
Sky are really hyping this up this weekend. Probably because they don't have any live English football this weekend.
A 60,000 crowd is good anywhere in the world and yes they actually seem to give a **** about the fans who turn up to watch , refreshing
