Ash

From some numpty called monkeyg, as shown in the comments... "He'll probably turn them down like everyone else they've gone for."

Giving Valencia a swerve. Would have been nice to give the coach a run out but there isn't enough interest. Can't blame people for wanting to save up for the season to be honest.

Ok, maybe I was wrong. He was dreadfully gash today.

Today was very fruitful indeed. 20 or so people from Doncaster have said they will come on the coach and then a few others from Rotherham have said that they'd definitely be up for it. Need to make a few calls to the Donny lads on Monday to arrange a few things but by the looks of it, the coach is going to happen. Fingers are still firmly crossed but it's now looking very positive.

Funny as fook with all of the songs today. Didn't look too bad to be fair. As has been mentioned, looked a little raw but with some decent coaching he could turn into a canny player.

Only during the kick-in when the mascot goes in goal. ...after missing six attempts at an empty net previously.

Well excited about this now. Live football! And I'll be there to witness Smith's first goal of many this season...

Any indication of the new squad numbers with the launch of the away strip today? Noticed a pic earlier with some pre-printed shirts in the club shop...

He'd be best off sticking with 36.

"The Magpies break at pace with Milner"

FYP.

How fat is Steed Malbranque?!

Ronaldinho.

Probably his source FM legend Yep.

Thanks to the six people who have responded so far. Please keep the replies coming.

I've just sent a PM to all of the people who have expressed an interest in the coach. I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to respond to it. Cheers.

We enquried about him during last season. If Man Utd were willing to sell him and we met their valuation, he'd come here rather than returning to Hull.

I've not got one, i don't think some of the others have either. As for the pick ups, Ash is the man to ask. He's organised the route and will know if certain places are suitable. Haha, I doubt we'll be picking up in Shields tbh and for the record I'm a season ticket holder. Yup, can't see it happening, sorry. Season ticket holder too, along with the two people I go to games with.

As I said yesterday, things really seem to be rolling now. Exciting times.

Everything seems to be moving now, brilliant stuff. After all of today's news I'm actually really excited about the next few weeks to see who else we can bring in.

Depends which station you're coming from. Hessle station is a 5 minute walk from the bridge. Just beat me. Lincoln Central.. I have looked at times and schedules and i can't understand how there isn't a direct train from lincoln to hull.. your looking at two hours just to get to sodding hull Same, likely, and really? Not had a chance to properly look into myself yet but if thats the case then I'm not really not sure how much I'll potentially use this service. 2 hours is a lot... would also be wary of the cost of a train from Lincoln to Hull. With that said aren't there any bus services or is the distance too far? Forgot about that, I've seen plenty of buses leaving Hull heading for Lincoln. As I said with my previous post, if there's a few of you leaving from the same area, car sharing would probably be the best bet.

Might be an option getting on at Leeds? There might be a few people coming from your area so I'm sure you would be able to grab a lift with someone to the Humber Bridge.

Cheers Rey, looks like that name is gonna stick now! Some good points you've made there though. Just need to sit back and wait and see who else comes forward.

Mal from Yorkshire Mags suggested I put a post on their message board to advertise it as he wouldn't be putting anything up on the actual site until much closer to the start of the season, so I've done just that. Fingers crossed it generates some interest...
