I agree although there's very little they can do. If you buy an away ticket in person from the club shop the tickets are kept in a biscuit tin under the counter, they just hand you one and you're done, they have no idea which ticket is sold to which person. Unfortunately ticket resale websites are perfectly legal and the people selling them are technically doing nothing wrong, even if it is completely immoral. The sooner a law is passed to stop people selling tickets over face value the better, it's ruining sport and music.
True but there are also a lot of people from Hull living in London. Even in the lower leagues it always felt like we had a relatively high attendance at London games compared to others of a similar distance.
We have loads of fans in London and the south. I'd guess most who go to these games don't travel from Hull. edit - I probably should've finished reading the thread before replying...
I may be wrong, but I wonder if we have only sold out the first block allocated to us by Chelsea, rather than the entire potential away end allocation. That's what happened on Tuesday night at OT.
yeah last time i went Chelsea there was a lot of London based hull support as tiger travel only took 3 coaches
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/01/hull-returns-on-sale.html Our club are a bunch of ****ers
So we sell out without any fanfare and people who might want to go now cant, but they return tickets to Chelsea?
I suspect we were sent two sections upper and one lower - they then decided to send the lower back and claim we'd sold out - I spent some time on the phone with the club yesterday - they were adamant we had sold our full allocation - liars
I think it might mean something else. They may be saying that home-end tickets for the Hull game are have been returned and made available to purchase rather than Hull City returning tickets. One of my work colleagues who is a member at Chelsea is checking into what is available.
having re-read it could mean that - I saw Hull Return and put two and two together but I see your point
So it's ok for some fans to boycott and refuse to get tickets, but when the club does it... Double standards.
I much prefer away games at clubs like West Brom though the local boozer to the ground needs to change it's jukebox I got bored of hearing 'Ghost Town' & 'Gangsters' over and over. Also a lot of people from Hull live in London so no surprise we take good numbers to London grounds.
