Have I got it wrong, but city play at 3pm, and Wales play at 2.30 pm? Both at home...That can't be right surely?

Always loved that quirky song DJ. I spent nearly 3 years on contract work in Hull in the 80's. I lived in digs up the road in Beverley to avoid being deperessed for the full 24 hours each day...... Seriously though - had a great bunch of workmates and spent loads of Saturday afternoons with them at Boothferry Park. It was so like Ninian, Fratton and even Stamford Bridge in 70's - tin sheets and concrete - a real football ground. One other ground that leaves a lasting impression but for different reasons - and that's Vale Park. When I first had to go to Stafford with my initial student apprenticeship 6 month stint at the age of 17, I fell in with a load of Port Vale supporters from up the road in Stoke. They hated Stoke City with a passion and I went with them to watch Vale instead. Apart from the fact that it looked as though they'd run out of money half way through building it, I can never believe now that we all went in at I think the Hamil Road end - yes all of us, home and away fans - and stood on those vast unfinished terraces together throughout the match. I've never seen that since nor doubt will again.
I wanted to go to Hull once, so I put my satnav on and drove for a couple of hours before I realised I had accidentally spelled "Hell" in the satnav. I still got there.
Talking about SatNavs, can you get ones that give directions in Welsh? This is not a wind up question, it was just something that struck me as I was reading the thread. Anyway, with the egg chasers playing up the road, any recommendations on parking? Would it make sense to use a park and ride and get a train or bus into the city (assuminng some such exists)?
Sparkie, In my younger days I loved those "old type" grounds but at my age now I'm glad to have a seat. Always liked a visit to Posh, had a few good nights there. Hull is not that bad, good bunch of supporters with some cracking banter. As for Port Vale, yes I think the hate Stoke more than we hate Swansea. Any way time to get ready CCS here I come.
DJ - Can't go on an empty stomach and for some reason, can never eat when I'm there. So it's a pack of Tesco egg and bacon sandwiches courtesy of the sister-in-law this morning, and a packet of crisps in the kitchen for me mate - then I'll follow you up there (or is it down for you?).
Wow, lot of Hull bashing on here lol. I've been to Cardiff and you live in just as much of a **** hole as we do I think you also have a few more smackheads then we do. Anyway, should be a good game, im going for 3-2 to the Tigers
