    Will probably make my over next season (or if we reach the playoffs) with my Swedish City-posse <laugh> (Our Norwegians fellas went to todays game against Doncaster)

    But which is the cheapest way to get to Hull? Fly to Manchester and take the bus or train (?), feels like the best choice.

    And does anyone feel comfortable in Photoshop?
    "My" site needs to freshen up. The present overhead "feels kinda 2008". I would like something more contemporary, with players like Gerrard, Fryatt, Koren, Chester, Barmby, etc! Any other tips are appreciated, trying to make it look better.

    Not sure of the prices but would of thought easiest way across to Hull would be flight to Amsterdam then flight to Humberside Airport. Depending how many there are of you you could arrange to be picked up by a mini bus or get taxis at airport, it's about £40 using the airport taxis, if you could get one to meet you from Hull much cheaper, but they usually want the money upfront

    Compared with where ??? Much rather use an airport on my doorstep than travel to Manchester and the less said about Leeds/Bradford the better, a nightmare airport to get to, especially at rush-hour. The only other airport is Donny/Sheffied (Robin Hood Airport). Strange name,that seen as it is no ****ing where near Sherwood Forrest, and rumour has it that it is losing money so how long that will stay open is anyones guess.<laugh>

    Humberside Airport is just a Little Chef with a runway.

    Stockholm to Humberside(via Amsterdam) takes about 4 hours and costs £380.

    Which is far better than the Robin Hood option(which goes via London and Jersey), takes over 18 hours and costs £1,730.

    Manchester is cheapest(via Frankfurt), it's £143.00, but there's a gap in the connection so it takes over 5 hours.

    You can also fly direct to Gatwick for £143 in 2 1/2 hours, unfortunately, you'll be over 200 miles from Hull!

    Based on this, I think the best advice I can give, is if you're planning on coming here, don't start off in Sweden. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Well the Manchester thing is probably your best bet, you can get a train right at the airport direct into Hull and when you get of the train in Hull your 10 minute walk from the KC.
    When I come into the UK thats my point of entry off the train and right into station hotel, grab a pint of Stella while I'm checking in easy peasy
