Total boycott? Turn up and annoy the WYP? Urge City to send all tickets back? Invest in flask and blanket and meekly attend like a ****?
I say turn up and annoy the wessies rather than boycotting... Edit: I accidentally voted on the wrong one....
The WYP (****ing nazi ****s) have only allowed 1500 tickets for City supporters. also, you can only travel on the designated coaches from Hull To Huddersfield. ****ing ****s. I hate Humberside (where the **** is that) police I hate WY Police I hate Sky bastards the lot of em.
Humberside Police are the root cause of this. Their bungling, cowardice, lack of professionalism and deceitfulness back in 2004 with the Battle of Walton Street means that they and their West Yorkshire counterparts are condemned to continually flag this as a high risk game. It's only high risk because they can't do their jobs properly. I suspect the issues at Huddersfield may be more to do with OT payments on a Saturday night at Easter. ****s. (PS Humberside is the region around the Humber estuary)
Well If the fans got together to organise a boycott it wouldn't happen and would just end up looking daft. I can't see the club sending their allocation back. IMO if plenty of fans turn up using whatever mode of transport they like, with or without tickets it would put pressure on the police to act. And it might raise the profile of the appauling policing of football matches.
The more i think about this the more i am leaning towards a boycott of the game. Its on Sky and the Allams should open up the bars @ the KC and sell beer and food there but at much reduced prices. Thankfully by being in the PL we wont have to worry about WYP next season.
- The first Yorkshire derby (Away) since Oct. - Currently 2nd in the table! - Easter weekend! - Haven't played Huddersfield in the league (Away) for ages! - it's getting to the business end of the season! ....and you think we'll take about 1500? You're a ****ing genius!
Huddersfield have (allegedly) more away fans - reason? Because every team they travel to watch is better than them.
They tried doing this against Leeds on New Year's Eve (after the Walton Street incident) and were made to back down because of the campaign launched by fans (let's kick it all up again). After the game their match commander was dragged onto the local radio and had no choice but to praise our behaviour. Now the silly ****s are taking advantage of it being on telly to do the same bubble wrapping bollocks. They know full well that it being televised will massively reduce how arsed about complaining people are, and if they get it through this time then they'll use it as a precedent to do it every time. If I remember correctly, the main thing that forced them to back down was the threat of everyone turning up of their own accord with no intention of attending the game in order to protest outside the ground. It was pointed out that policing 1,500 (or however many that allocation became) fans who'd travelled by various means would be easier than policing far more pissed off people who were there purely to make a scene, however peaceful they intended the scene to be.
I have far more problem with them violating my right to move freely around my country when I've not committed a crime than I do with them limiting the number of tickets.
It's a Yorkshire derby. We always take big crowds to the Yorkshire derby's so therefore 'only 1500' is quite accurate.
Didn't you only take 1900 to Leeds? I'd say that that's a much more glamorous tie than Huddersfield for the people of Hull. http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php/289648-Championship-Away-Following-2012-13 That game wasn't on SKY either.
