Why young and old?????...My 13 yr old didnt complain at all and its not as though they have school on a sat morn is it.

Just home from my 4 hour attempt to reach Hull. It was obvious to me stuck in the traffic that at around 7.30 there was no chance of reaching Hull for 9:15. Only problem for us fans based in West Yorkshire is the weather forecast for Sunday is heavy snow here

No team can just cancel a match without the agreement of the other team and the officials.

13 is a bit different to 3, 4 and 5 year olds sitting in the cold bored.

I toook a 4, 6 & 9 year old to the Wakey friendly and thats was hard work however yours sounds a lot worse. I feel your pain

Could be 100 degrees and they will still get bored at that age.

Young & old are very susceptible to the cold conditions, however every-one should have been given the option to seek a warm area if they choose to do so due to the delay, like I have stated I hope lessons are learnt from this and a simple solution such as hand stamps are considered as a contingency plan in the future.

The most ridiculous aspect of it was the overhead motorway sign just before the A1M turn off which said M62 junction 34 to 35 15 mins delay. Which muppet at the highways agency had that up, it should have been advising people to turn off.

No sherlock....my eldest is full of cold and lost her voice so it isnt just young and old.Like i said..a hand stamp wouldnt work as lets say its freezing V warrington and i want to go and get warm...whats the difference.

First and foremost, I understand that accidents can happen at any time, and often cause massive disruption for people caught up in the aftermath. I must also point out that I sincerely hope that nobody has been seriously hurt; however, I can’t help but feel that this cancellation could have all been avoided and reflects badly on Hull FC.

For far too long, I have gone to various watering holes for pre match drinks before home games only to witness players drive past heading to the KC stadium with only 90mins or so to go before kick off. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that this is potentially pushing the boundaries in case something goes wrong, and today the club has been found lacking in professionalism in this area imo.

Yes there was an accident that caused significant disruption, but the simple fact remains that the Bradford Bulls (with the aid of a police escort), match officials, a small proportion of away fans and a section of FC fans that travel down the M62 to home games all managed to make their way to the KC, yet some of our starting 17 didn’t!!!!

Some people might not agree with this opinion, but I can only imagine what the post would be like if we had travelled to Odsal only for the game to be cancelled under the same circumstances.

Hull need to learn lessons from this and ensure that in future all players are in Hull for a pre match meal and final video session 3 to 4 hours before kick off.

No one to blame, I'm just disappointed with the club's communication with the fans.

Westy etc were stuck from 5pm, so would have set off around 4. Would be plenty of time to get to Hull in any normal circumstance. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It's ok anyway, team meeting at 6am Sunday for the 3pm KO:
@TomLineham: Team meet 6am Sunday for 3pm kick off! Necessary precautions incase of a Tornado/Hurricane/Tsunami/Sandstorm/earthquake/AlienInvasion!!

[size=200If there was a 75 minute delay[/size there in these conditions I would hope they would have a contingency plan which also allowed people to leave the stadium as well

What the hell more could they have done?????

Spot on.. Footballers spend night before a game in hotel

Jesus wept do you even bother reading peoples post properly ? I said I hope lessons are learnt and hopefully they will put a contingency plan in place in the future if games are delayed whereby fans can leave the stadium if they choose especially in such cold conditions, eg handstamp.

If anyone would like a positive I got a very nice coat from the stadium club shop.

What a load of drama queens.
Health & Safety regulations would stop them being able to let people out and then back in to the stadium. And I'm sorry but it being cold isn't a good enough reason to break those, regardless of age.
And Hull FC only made two announcements - the 9:15 kick off and the postponement. The rest was Twitter and RH rumours.
Quite what they're supposed to communicate when facts are probably hard to come by I don't know.

Complain to SMC

Hearing on twitter that the tanker driver was killed, hope this isn't true

Although i agree with rest of the post, you could have easily stopped with the quoted section above

Can you give me another stadium that has such a contingency plan for something that's not an emergency, such as this?
I just think people are being daft, why don't we make every building in the city earthquake proof? Shit happens. Get over it.

What Health & Safety regulations are those then ?

You are allowed to leave the stadiums during the magic w/end whenever you like (they just stamp your hand) so how come these are not breaking these health & safety regulations ?

The reason we was told we could not leave by the fire officer was because our passes had already being put on the system so would not work again.

Aiming to be at the KC 2 hours before kick off is not good enough IMO, especially when you are travelling down a motorway at rush hour on Friday in winter. These are FT professional players, what else do they need to do before a match? And the Bulls are no better, they would have been late had it not been for a police escort.
There have been several delayed kick offs on Friday nights over the last few years due to problems on the m62, it makes our sport look amateurish.

Every stadium that hosts the magic week-ends!

Just think, if the kick off had been delayed until 9.15 it'd be half time now
