Tickets have now gone off sale online and any telephone callers should specify whether they wish to collect their tickets from the ticket office or at Hull on Saturday afternoon.

AWAY PUBS
The Park View (57 Walton Street, Hull, HU3 6JB) almost directly opposite the stadium car park entrance has always welcomed visiting supporters in the past. A family run pub, which has recent undergone reburfishment, it serves a wide array of beers and has big screens to show live sport as well as housing a burger van outside on matchdays.
The New Walton Club (243 Walton Street, Hull HU3 6JR) welcomes away fans as well but you will be charged a £1 entry fee. The club serves very good cheap beer in a friendly atmosphere with a separate area serving food and other refreshments.
The Boot Room (354-356 Anlaby Road, Hull, HU3 6NS) is located further down Walton Street on the corner of the junction with Anlaby Road. Although this is where a large number of Hull fans congregate before the games, they have welcomed away fans previously and have a number of big screens showing live sport.
The other pubs in the vicinity of the KCOM Stadium or the old Boothferry Park are all designated either officially or unofficially as being for home fans only. There are a number of alternative venues in the city centre, including the local Wetherspoon’s The Admiral of the Humber (1 Anlaby Road, Hull HU1 2NT), The New King Edward Bar (which is right next door to the Admiral of the Humber and located upstairs, 1 Anlaby Road, Hull HU1 2NR), The Punch Hotel (Queen Victoria Square, Hull HU1 3RA) and The Hop & Vine (24 Albion Street, Hull HU1 3TH).
Alcohol is available inside the stadium at the Pitch Side bar which is specifically for away supporters but, on police advice, this bar can sometimes stop serving alcohol 45 minutes before kick off.
