Matches Hull away - Wednesday March 12th - could we bring it forward?

[BillyTurleys CurlyWurly]

Just a thought.

Hull have lost to Doncaster today. They were due to face Cardiff away on Saturday 8th February.

We lost yesterday. We was due to play Burnley away on 8th Feb however they won at Reading in the cup.

Is there no way we could move our Wednesday night trip up to Hull to Feb 8th?

We’d take double/triple the amount of away fans.

As it stands, Oxford & Hull do not play on Saturday 8th February. 4 weeks away. Surely it could be re-arranged?

Just an idea. No idea if the club would be aware of the idea @OUSP @OxVox

So Hull would accommodate us in order that we could take more supporters, which could potentially buoy up the team at crucial points in the game.

Tough call if you are Hull....

No chance

Gives them a free week though in march between weekend games. Also extra revenue as no doubt they make far more for weekend games than Wednesday nights on everything from hospitality to other stuff etc

Football is no longer for "the fans".

Those who really pull the strings care not about you, I or anyone else.

They'd get more supporters themselves as well.

A more likely game to be moved to Sat 8th Feb may be the home game v QPR which is currently scheduled for Wednesday 9th April (unclear why it's not on the Tuesday 8th April)

So what about those of us who have never been to Hull's new stadium and who have both trains and hotels booked for the March game, the latter since the fixtures list came out last June?

I would commend you for being so bloody organised!

You’re definitely not related to Mick Brown’s fax machine

At a guess, as there are no EPL midweek games, it gives Sky the ability to broadcast top level matches on consecutive nights.

Ah some positivity on here at last, describing a match involving us as top level!

Given that it was known that every fixture was subject to change for TV on fixture release day. Surely you've booked a cancellable hotel?

If that’s the case then that one is not moving.

Don’t know why anyone wouldn’t book a cancellable hotel these days, always a risk with weather etc during the winter.

I've booked leave for that week so that I can do a mini road trip in the Van, Norwich and Hull.
