    More ****ing around for the fans!! 3 games more of less out of reach for the away faithful.

    Millwall 12.30,tough call for those in Hull.

    Sheff Utd,tough ask for the working man in Hull.

    Sunderland,tough sh!t for those in Hull and Glasgow!!

    Sunderland was on the Calendar for me,relatively straightforward for a 3p.m,no chance for a 12.30 and a similar story for those in Hull that go by train...

    Millwall away at half 12 is hardly appealing to the travelling fans

    The fixture arrangements at the beginning of the season are, in my view,already designed to put large travelling supports off?

    Not satisfied with that,they **** people around some more.This whole thing reeks of outside involvement and I wouldn't be at all surprised at all if the plod were involved in some surreptitious plan to keep big supports out of some of their Towns and Cities...

    Doing that within the window that people could have already bought train tickets for, which certainly the Millwall & Blunts games were, should not be allowed

    Sky tv and other broadcasters could not care less about the supporters.I reckon the broadcasting during Covid of all the games with no supporters opened their eyes to wall to wall football and the advertising revenue which comes with it.I certainly know more people who have given up on the astronomical subscription fees and gone down the iptv route.When I looked the other month I was over £115 a month for things I never knew I had or ever watched.

    It’s a really good point. I haven’t bought train tickets yet for Millwall because I now expect games to be rescheduled and don’t take the risk. This advent of four games kicking off at 12:30 every Saturday is a nightmare.

    **** and football is getting ruined but Sunderland take large followings far greater distances than Hull to Sheffield for night games including ones where they are at work next day and silly weekend kick offs. Youngest lad won’t be chuffed, has to work most Saturdays but had got his rota altered for Sheffield game. Can’t get back home from a night game at Sheffield.

    Yes, Hull is so wonderful that no one wants to leave. Which part of it do you live in?
    Of course it could be Sunderland have more keen fans than most other clubs in the division.

    So, thousands of Hull people go to the Deep every time there is a game on and that stops them travelling? Is that why they rush out of the MKM before the end of every game, to avoid the crush getting into the deep? If Hull is so wonderful why do you choose to live elsewhere?

    Just tell them your leaving then wait for the call to offer you the same or better for a lot less.

    I am on the verge of jacking my passes. **** football, travelling over 2 hours to get to a match and I can watch on tv?

    I'm a plastic.

    Hardly a 'plastic' if you fork out for a pass,just someone who is pissed off with the way this is going?

    The day can't be far away when the fixtures at the beginning of the season just have a 'TBA' across from the other 23 teams in the division...

    I don’t think it’s anything to do with outside involvement, they’re deliberately inconveniencing people in an attempt to get the 3.00pm blackout scrapped.
