I had an email back from the shop stating that over 100 coaches will be leaving Walton Street Car Park at 7:30am on Saturday. As City are at home, there will be stewards on site taking payments for parking.

I would like to park there and have no problems with paying. On matchdays, I usually pay and park there anyway.

I can't imagine how much space 100 coaches will take and what space will be left for cars. If for some reason we couldn't get parked, we would need a good back up plan.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

It looks like Walton Street car park has 1100 spaces (I thought it would be bigger than that), so 100 coaches with 1 car per 4 supporters would fill up the car park. This is what city were advising earlier in the year... www.hullcitytigers.com/news/arti ... 25718.aspx

You would be suprised how much room 100 coaches will take up. They will try and squeeze them in the corner,but im suprised they have not got them going from the car parks around stadium to leave more room in walton street.

there is a new car park at the back of St Stephens - i will be down there after work today - but its very reasonable!

The club website says

Was in shop today, said 52 coaches so far, probably 53 by saturday. Unless non official coaches are leaving from walton st to

City play ManU at the KC tomorrow at 17:30, so there will be limited car parking early morning.

Has anyone ever got ale on these buses that's not in coke bottles and hip flasks and stuff?

Not a chance. Club won't allow alcohol on the coaches as it's against the law

If police stop a coach with alcohol on they will turn it back to hull

This is not cool.

you cant manage without alcohol for about 4 hours?

It's more on the way back if we're celebrating or not. Didn't drink on the way there in 2013 but needed (wanted) a few on the way back. Trusted somebody else to sort my coach and ended up on these without been asked when our wet coach cancelled.

looks like a pepsi bottle and a tot of voddy then lol

We'll see. Gonna attempt anyway. Worst case scenario is my ale going in the hold. I won't be taking loads anyway.

They have to say you can't drink but let's face it people will be have a few sneaky ones ,, coach 38 will be rocking

Our journey back on the club coach in 2008 was awful - pished up nugget offering everybody out on the coach. Men, women and kids.

The police met the coach at one of the services and warned him to shut up which he did for 10 minutes and then started again. Riot van was waiting at Albion Street for him but he legged it. Was identified and banned by the club.

Only football coaches its illegal.

Rugby coaches are actually ok.

But its put in place by the club for saftey and comfort of all passengers,you always get the 1 idiot that drinks to much and goes to far. Plus the toilet fills up quiker when people are drinking..which aint good on a long journey

No - carrying alcohol on a PSV to any sporting event is illegal and rightly so. I want an enjoyable journey not spoilt by some heads. As someone pointed out, it's only four hours or so. It's a sacrifice you have to make travelling there and back on the day.

Sorry to hear that. I've been on a coach with a numpty like that but when the other 49 people turned on him he soon shut up. i can handle my ale and just get happier usually so i hope i can have a few to celebrate

NOTHING is ever done about it by the police..they have NO PROBLEM at all where rugby coaches are concerned.

Iv done every type from coaches from the club (they stipulate no drinking) to private parties to team coaches. All of the latter have had alcohol on..interaction with the police and nothing said...even took a group of cops to grand final (flowergate one) and they was all drinking.

Football coaches are stopped..checked and turned around if needed. But rugby is a completley different type of mentality..more relaxed..family friendly.

Yes i know what it states as the law,but nothing gets done.

Except a rugby match is not a designated sporting event this legislation only refers to FA approved matches. However most tour operators enforce the no alcohol rule for the reasons you describe.

wembley is owned by the FA and as rugby league is playing there it falls under the legislation of no alcohol allowed on supporters coaches

we went with the club supporters coach a few years ago when fc played london at the valley, the coach was stopped by the police before its return journey to hull, it was searched and beer was put under the hold, so it can and does happen

Not wanting to turn this into a boring who knows best debate but average Joe is right.
A designated match or ground is where the team is a member of the football association not who owns the ground hence the different rules for Hull City and Hull fc at same ground.
Rugby League is not a designated sport.

Even if so. people should be able to go without an alcoholic drink for a few hours
