Replay tickets free to S/T holders and members

[Vegas Seagull]

Last time I went to Hull was the best we've ever played. Hull didn't touch the ball for the first half an hour & we went two up.
Somehow they got it back to 2-2 but up popped Terry Connor to score the winner with a diving header that has never been bettered, right in front of the away fans.
Think we can win it

Just booked the Ibis Hotel which is just outside Hull railway station for £31. I have free rail travel and a free match ticket and also a weeks leave next week, so I couldn't turn this opportunity down. I just hope the game itself is better than Derby or Watford recently

Just got a room at Travelodge £22.

Hope they have a means of getting proof of attendance, otherwise could be an easy way for some to just pocket the e cash!

Edit: I'm being moronic as obviously all they would be doing is getting their own money put on an e-card

Unless S/T holder sells the ticket they bought, then gets the e-cash back, is that right?

Either way its a nice gesture from the club, hopefully we will get a good turn out for the game.

I cant make the trip because of work though.

Superb gesture from the club and much appreciated. However I do not get free travel and overnight accommodation is not an option due to family and work. For the first time this season I am unable to go but a cosy night in with ITV4, a litre of Diamond White with a JUMBO pack of Iced Gems will soften the blow. Bloody JCLs.

Magnificent gesture from the club. Should ensure a bumper away audience.

 

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Quick question from me - I'm a member, but have never had an e-cash card. Will they issue me with a new one?

I can imagine Paul Barber and co sitting down yesterday.

Once they came up with the idea of offering a free ticket, I bet someone said "I bet you any money some bloody fans find fault with it'

Shocking. Sadly some similar posts on the clubs Facebook page, but thankfully many sane ones too.

Has any club in recent times offered a free ticket for a game thst has not been abandoned? I know some clubs have had a pay what you want policy, but this is usually some promo at a poorly supported league 2 club and not at a premiership club for a place in the quarter finals of the FA cup.

Everyone who goes will be rewarded by the club. Granted, not many will be persuaded but it's a gesture to the hardy soles who are going anyway. Just like the free drink at Middlesbrough. Am guessing it was the same bunch who found fault with this too.

As for the moron remark. I'm sorry if you thought this was at your personally. I can see how you did as I quoted your post. However I stand by my stance that anyone who faults the club for this gesture is moronic.

The bottom line is that everyone who goes gets £15 back. This will be spent at future games instead of other cash. If it was done on travel, those of us who are elsewhere over the weekend and those who don't live locally can still benefit from the saving. I really can't see why anyone needs to nit-pick and try to find anything negative in what the club have announced.

After the debacle of the uni parking last night, this has cheered me up no end - even though it's not definite that I'll take up the offer.

Not everyone Sully, I get to a lot of away games but have no e-card so will have to pay. Notmoaning about it, just saying like..

Spot on. I can not believe some of the comments picking holes in what is in fact a great gesture by the club.

Well just got mine. A great gesture by the club and I am happy to take advantage of it.

Just another cynical attempt to buy off the fans with the 83 slush fund

Last season we really gave Hull the run around at their place in the opening game of the season. We played some beautiful stuff for about 75 minutes, had something like 18 decent goal attempts and really silenced the home fans...............but we then let in a soft-ish winner. Ironically if we had taken the 3 points in that game we probably wouldn't have needed the play offs.

I recall one beautiful move when we stifled a Hull attack, a 50 yard pass came out of our box to Noone who left their defender for dead and crossed the ball for CMS arriving at high speed into their box who really stretched for a diving header and their keeper tipped the ball onto the bar, would have been a stunning goal. Box to box in about 5 seconds and while most other players were still in our last third.

The weather always seems to be extreme when we are at the KC - sub zero or steaming hot.

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

I was 50/50 whether to go or not. I will now. Well done Barber.

Blues Away are already asking for interest and they are usually cheaper than the "offical" travel partner

Thanks

The one in town, not far from station. Comes up at £27, so I googled Travelodge discount codes and found one for a £5. Not bad! And it's a Family room!!

 

[Official Old Man]

I would also thank the club for their generous offer, well done. But now the negatives. It's only a £15 ticket at the most. Generally clubs offer free transport for anyone with a ticket. And to quote Paul Barber - "Chief executive, Paul Barber, said, “The potential for progressing further in The FA Cup is an exciting prospect and, as ever, our supporters can play an important role in helping the team on the night." If the potential is so great then why not play a stronger team last Monday in front of 21,000 paying supporters and win in one?

Good spot. I read "members" as anyone with a fan number, forgetting the latest Gold, Silver, Blue membership levels. DOH!

 

[NS Herald]

Can't help but feel that whilst any such offer is obviously welcome, if the intention was to help supporters play an important role in helping the team on the night, then presumably the more supporters the better and a slightly more generous offer which attracts an even greater number of fans such as with free or subsidised coach travel may have been a better option?

I can't help but feel that an offer such as this which in real terms is going to cost the club around 5k could have been better considered.

Me too. Haven't checked whether the £1.50 booking fee has been credited back to my e-cash- I'm pretty sure it won't have been- but I don't care.

Bring it on
