If so then thats shambolic

it's worse than shambolic, it's totally unprofessional, even the fans that went would have planned to set off at around that time, if not earlier.

A professional sporting side with a wealthy backer should have stayed in a Hotel the night before and had a full day of mental/physical preparation, not got on an National Express calling at numerous destinations to L**ds!

happy to entertain

OK, maybe you think a hotel was unnecessary, let me put it this way, if your lads were playing in Pudsey at 8pm, what time would you leave home if you also had to pick their mate up from Horsforth on the way?

has anybody considered the fact that the team coach may have been delayed from setting off due to external factors - not attempting to defend anybody just a thought

On paper and considering the impact that the loss of Sam & Ticks would have had - wasn't too disappointed - poor rewf decisions at times + lack of diection + some very poor kicks didn't help

How much time do you allow over and above the normal time. I left Birmingham yesterday for 3 hour journey back to Hull and it took me 6 hrs 10 mins. Sometimes things are just out of your own control, like our coach breaking down the other week. Hemmings is a 2@ by the way.

shouldnt of left hull at 4-30 on a friday night match,then divert to pick aspinwall up on the way,poor planning if you ask me,nowt to do with us losing tho were just not good enough and leeds were no better tbh just that they took there chances and we never.

We left after 4.30 and parked near the ground at 6.15 so 4.30 left them plenty of time.

Eddie came across as a bit of an idiot, but I agree with him and the others on here that say it's totally unprofessional. In 25 years of watching professional sport I've never once missed a kick off of anything and I'm just there to shout - you plan for the worst case scenario, you assume that everything that can flood will flood, everything that can catch fire will, every numpty that can smash their car up on the motorway does. It's unforgiveable to be late.

When Barnsley played at Scunthorpe in the Championship a couple of seasons back they were in Forest Pines hotel all afternoon ahead of an evening kick off. It's only about 35 miles between the two towns, and the kick off was 7.45 so they had all day, but they covered for every possible scenario. And that's Barnsley, who are hardly the world's greatest or richest football team.

We'd best hope there's no delays with the 2.30 flight to Perpignan next Saturday then. Don't want another delay do we?
