Due to the imminent arrival of the annual Hull Fair, supporters attending Saturday’s Premier League game against Chelsea at the KCOM Stadium are advised that the Walton Street Car Park will be closed for this fixture. Disabled supporters who use the Carnegie Car Park in West Park should note that this will also be closed for this game. The Club is advising supporters to explore alternative methods for getting to and from the stadium, including public transport and the Park & Ride service which operates from Priory Park (clearly signposted from the A63) both before and after the game. For those travelling by car, the advice is to use car parks in and around the city centre (please check local signage for charges and terms & conditions). The KCOM Stadium is approximately a 20-minute walk from the city centre. As a result of the Walton Street and Carnegie Car Park closures, supporters are asked to allow extra time for their journey and to arrive at the KCOM Stadium in plenty of time for the 3pm kick-off. Turnstiles and concourse facilities will be open from 1.30pm. Tickets for Saturday’s game are still available with prices starting from £24.

With Walton Street shut, there will be a lot more fans leaving the stadium via the Londesborough Street walkway and the Anlaby Road flyover. I hope the club and the SAG have a plan in place for this, as it clearly steps outside the "normal" control plan in place.
What the **** is the car park closed for. The fair doesn't start till the 7th. The pikeys usually throw the bloody thing up in a couple of days.
No doubt the disabled who park in Carnegie Car Park will be delighted. Most Hull people have trouble getting to the KC when there are no restrictions.
Turnstiles To Open Early Ahead Of Chelsea Game Early opening to encourage supporters to arrive a little earlier than usual due to car park closure.... With the Club advising supporters to arrive at the KCOM Stadium earlier than usual for Saturday’s game against Chelsea, please note that turnstiles and concourse facilities will be open from the earlier time of 1.30pm. The closure of the Walton Street car park due to the arrival of Hull Fair will mean a change in matchday routine for many supporters, who are encouraged to allow extra time for their journey to the stadium. Alternative travel options include the Park & Ride service from Priory Park, as well as other public transport routes and city centre car parks. Tickets for the game against Antonio Conte’s side, which kicks-off at 3pm, remain available and can be purchased online, by calling 01482 505600 (until 2pm today), in person from Tiger Leisure at the KCOM Stadium and from self-service kiosks located at the ground. Ticket prices start from £24. http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/...chelsea-game-3334177.aspx#fxY8eldpYTMKzlQO.99
Tickets remain available in a 25,000 stadium. You can see why some would prefer us to swap places with some of the clubs in the Championship,
Don't quite understand where you are coming from? Many supporters are staying away because the Allams are still in charge and will continue to stay away while that remains the case. The takeover is dragging on far too long now. I am beginning to wonder if it will ever take place.
I am talking about the state of our club as it is. Norwich, a smaller place than Hull, is filling a stadium slightly larger than the KCEvery week in the Championship. Newcastle, Villa, Wolves, Leeds and Wednesday are among clubs which would get higher crowds. And have more boisterous away followings as well. So, yes, some involved with the PL would be happy to see us swap places.
There's nothing else to do in Norwich. Villa, Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds and Wednesday are all bigger clubs then us from bigger cities with a more history and tradition of being in the top flight. City have spent as long in the lower leagues as those clubs have spent in the top one. Makes a difference. I believe we would attract more people to football at the KC if it was easier to get a ticket or, bit controversial this, actually walk up on a match day and pay at the turnstile.
There is plenty to do in and around Norwich. People can't have it both ways. Other clubs would get more because they have years of being in the top flight. Yet we have fans saying our gates dropped after a season or two in the PL because the novelty wore off. Our would think that after waitingbthat long for top flight football people would be beating down the doors to see top flight football. All of which doesn't alter what I said about the PL would be happy to see us swap places with them.
Dont forget a lot of our so called die hard fans wouldn't pay the going rate for season passes but defrauded us all and the club by buying kids or oap passes.
