  Match Preview

Hull are one of the new boys on the block - gaining promotion from League One after finishing second with 86 points. However, this does show and their start to the Championship has seem them draw two and lose one. However, compared with ourselves who have also lost one and drawn two, they are not doing bad...

 

Tomorrow, Peter Taylor will be taking on his old team - however in a statement on Hull City's website he says he has doubts about some of his players fitness. From the first three games in the Championship, they have already picked up four injuries, however he could be without up to six players from the team.

 

The BBC Reports that "Steve McPhee, Keith Andrews and Leon Cort are all doubtful with injuries, while Mark Lynch, Alton Thelwell and Robbie Stockdale are definitely out."

 

Meanwhile, the Brighon reserves had an impressive 6-1 win over Woking during the week, which saw Turienzo, McCammon and Robinson all score - McGhee now has to decide if any of these players will start tomorrow against Hull. Carole is also expected to keep his place after an impressive start at Crewe.

 

Hull have only scored one goal from three games so far - however despite this fans say "I think we'll surprise a few teams and make the playoffs. We have a great manager, huge fan base and some brilliant players. The town deserves Premiership football and I think we are close to getting it."

 

Players to watch out for include Stuart Elliot who scored 27 league goals last season, and Nick Barmby who scored 9 - and scored the first goal for Hull this season.

 

Travel information for fans travelling to hull is available here, however the club have asked us to ensure fans are aware of a number of issues ahead of the game.

 

  • Due to problems which you may have seen reported in the press, Hull have decided to close some areas of their stadium. Block six of the Smith and Nephew North Stand is closed. Fans who have been allocated tickets in this area will be issued with new seats. Stewards will escort fans to this section on their arrival.

  • The club is still reporting that tickets will be available on the day, subject to availability.

  • The club could have their away allocation severely cut if fans continue to stand throughout matches. In a press release issued by the club yesterday, the club say the Local Authorities and police will advise clubs to reduce our allocation unless fans sit down at matches. In our first game of the season at Derby, 1500 out of 1750 fans stood up continuously throughout the game - this has been reported to the league by the Derby Safety Officer.
