I would love something like this in Melbourne. The amount of times im in the casino by myself at 2/3am or I've had to skype parents to put their ipad on in front of the tv.

I remember stan dosdale and the west yorkshire supporters club in the 80's. Seriously, how hard can it be for fans to try and make contact with other Hull fans in their area with the internet at your disposal

A number of the WY FC supporters club that existed 80 - 90's had a great reunion after the CCF in Covent Garden. All arranged through SM.

I would suggest a twitter or FB group is the way to go.

Surely the fact any supporter from any were in the world can come on here to debate and share ideas is the perfect platform to set up such branches. Simply start a new thread were fans who live outside the area would be interested in this then you can pm each other to discuss logistics etc. Plenty of other social media options to advertise this on. If fans managed to set this up in the 80's should be piece of now

Quote ="DGM"Leeds currently have 21 Supporters Branches in the Leeds area, 9 from elsewhere in the UK and two 'International' branches. www.therhinos.co.uk/ambassador/s ... H3amhESGM8 A friend of mine is part of one of these branches, and couldn't speak highly enough of it. They organise shared travel to each game (even if a home match and that's only 5/6 miles away), they meet regularly, they have access to special offers, and they get a couple of player visits a year. For him, it's the social aspect with other fans as well as feeling part of the club itself. It's a great way for a club to engage with the fans, with little administration or cost required, most of which will be recouped in one way or another. Is this something Hull could be doing, and is there an appetite for it? Reading the boards over the years, there are plenty of FC fans dotted around the place. There must be a few based in London, who struggle to afford getting to games, or don't want to travel on their own, who could pool resources? There are plenty of us based in West Yorkshire. Then places like York, Driffield, Goole/Howden, North Lincolnshire etc. Even closer to home in places like Withernsea, Cott, Hessle etc, then in Hull itself. I know a few people run their own coaches and have their own 'bases' already, so there are a few potential ready made branches right there. Just an idea anyway, I'm bored. When does the season start '" I'm London based and would love to hear from fellow FC fans based in the south east.
