How many tickets sold ?
Hull tickets
Does the park and ride operate for evening games? I've had a quick look at the website but it mentions that it stops at 6.35 - not clear if this is on non-match days though.
are you asking about Hull P & R or Prestons ?
Best parking at Hull can be Hull Royal Hospital Car park and then walk across the footbridge.... Tigers fans tend to park behind the away end on their big car park...

Which is where I parked last time I went, ideal for a decent get away.
Easier to come off the A63 earlier as well and down Boothferry Rd. The old stadium was still there when I went, not sure if it still is.
Do they not close the roads to traffic around the ground for 20 mins or so after the game to let folk get away from the stadium? I know a lot of the newer grounds do.
It's on a thread about Hull tickets! wasn't even aware that there was a Preston Park and ride. (sorry Sports rehab that sounds arsey-er than it was intended!!)
Anyway, I've been in touch with Hull and the Park and Ride is operating on matchdays. I've heard stories about the big car park at the ground being very hard to escape from - JC if you're on the bike you won't have the same problem!
not at the Hospital side...
Aye that's what I thought when I went to Reading on it once.....I got to the front of the car park cue quickly enough, but the buggers shut all the roads around the ground for 25 mins so there was no quick escape!

I can only go off when I went and no they didn't, but it probably took 15 mins at least after the final whistle to get back to the car as I'd parked as close to the entrance / exit as I could. Shouldn't be as busy being a night game as well.

In Hull? Absolutely loads. About 1.7 times the amount in Preston to give you an idea.
I mean there are a lot of streets in Hull that's for sure. But 1.7 times that in Preston? That's a bold claim.

Available street PARKING, not just streets.
Right, and what is the figure for streets?
personally I'd go on A63 - Clive Sullivan way into Hull (under the Bridge etc ) and take the slip road before the dual carriageway fly over - HEAD FOR HULL ROYAL HOSPITAL.
PAss hospital on your right and park in their car park on your left - OR drive over the railway bridge and street park either side.
WALK over the foot bridge and drop 'right' to the away end.
The 15 min walk is better than 30 mins trying to park on the Away side of the ground.
You can drive away - back to the A63 - fairly quickly once back at the car.
Yes, I used to work in that hospital.....
