Parking at HKR : Wed Aug 31, 2016 9:46 am  

Good morning Rovers fans!

It's years since I've visited your place, and I realise it has been superbly developed since then. (the new North stand looks awesome) I used to park on Preston Road (the dual carriageway near the stadium) - is it still possible to park there, or do you recommend the primary school (St Richards) mentioned on the Rovers official website, please?

P.S. Hopefully you have upgraded your floodlights since we used to visit you regularly?

I park on those streets near Sue Downs that look like Aleppo.

Good advice, but beware a ton of liquid white shitbomb attacks from the Skein.

Where's 'Sue Downs'? Is that on Preston Road, near the ground?

My 'Print@Home' tickets have arrived, for the Roger Millward stand, and the hotel is booked. Never had an exotic weekend in Hull before!

Sue downs is the chippy on the corner near the Red lion pub.
You'll have a good time mate. Hull gets a bad rap, but it's really becoming a place to visit these days.

Back in the late 70s, 80s and 90s they used to say that the only people who would visit Hull would be reps and relatives.

Now people even travel from all over to get their kit off for some yankee photographer weirdo. We even get about 20 or so Catalans supporters every year. How exotic is that?

It's also about 75 minutes from Pickering and Scarbados.

You're right. Even up to only ten years ago, Hull was a bit of a dump. There's been a monumental shift this last decade. I know people out of the city that come and visit, And the're always blown away how much it's changed. And keeps on evolving to. The fruit area is going to be massive for the city.

Despite their awards on the wall the chippy is crap
