That isn't true.

Oh dear, hope you're not coming back to Hull, it's a 12 n half hour journey on that train!I booked on to the virgin train that leaves at 21:56

- The club have been devious ****s by making sure that 'Hull City Tigers' appears on the eticketing site. FFS, how many more times you dumb ****s? your application to change the name has now been turned down twice.
Why continue to antagonise your fans (beg pardon- 'customers' as you prefer to think of them) by using this inflammatory and divisive name?
Is it because you are stupid or just ****s? One or the other possibly both.
- Sky/ Football League, why have you made it a 5pm kick off that inconveniences fans who are paying (extortionately) to attend? Did they not enter into your calculations? Did either of the clubs have a say in the time being moved? Return rail travel is virtually impossible because of the late finish/ early departure time of the last train? Which **** decided this and to programme rail network maintenance on the busy Bank Holiday weekend?
Just like Arsenal Final 2 years ago, City fans back of the queue when various parties' needs are taken into consideration- is anyone speaking up for us, like the club or the FSF? Credit to Karl Turner and Diane Johnson in this respect - but where is Ehab Allam and Steve Brady? Too busy to use their voice?
- Talking of Steve Brady, what are the Council doing to talk up the importance of this game and the city's best wishes for a successful outcome? Whatever happened to all the black and amber decorations from Bank Holiday Monday May 26 2008 when the big and important buildings in town had the civic crest in club colours? Where is the buzz? Has Assem Allam reduced the council to cowering mutes? Do they want us to do well?
All parties need to up their game considerably, apathetic fans included.
Oh dear, hope you're not coming back to Hull, it's a 12 n half hour journey on that train!
The first couple of virgin trains announced had 12 and 13 hour journey times for London to Hull. There was obviously a long sit on a draughty station.
At least Hull trains had the honesty to wait until they had a realistic train journey to announce.
The train Virgin announced departs at 21.23 and gets into Hull just after midnight.
One of them does, the other two didn't.
They only announced one as a special being put on for the match and it's the 21.23.
There were two others, they were mentoned later on the HDM site, albeit it not as virgin specials on there. Perhaps they saw the same message as so e one I know.
It stuck in my mind because the HDM was after someone I know pointed out the travel times when they were looking at their options, and I thought it must have been a cock up or they'd misread it.
They'd only looked on the travel site because of a message they'd had about the extra two virgin options. If I could be arsed I'd Google for the actual site they looked at.
If you followed Virgin Trains on Twitter, you'd know what was going on.![]()
They will also be able to get a 9.56pm train from Kings Cross to Hull with one change, although this would take 12 hours and 25 minutes; or the 10.10pm train from Kings Cross to Hull with three changes, which would take 13 hours 40 minutes.
Fans have welcomed the news and took to Twitter to spread the word. One said: "Glad we actually have a decent company trying to look after us. Appreciate it."

That hasn't come from Virgin though, that just some daft sod going on trainline.com. It works like expedia, it will always give you a route, however ridiculous it is.
A rush and a push and the rail network is ours.What exactly is your point?
And me.Other than me you mean?
And me.
I'm not going, but I wouldn't describe it as a boycott.
And meAnd me.
