Can’t wait for first trip to this ground. Hopefully it’s worth it . Given the issues with trains, 800 is pretty good I’d say 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you're correct - IF you can get to London. For some reason (maybe the CEO is driving) Hull Trains is running one service to London and back on the strike day. It leaves Hull early in the morning and then returns just before midday, getting into Hull after 2.30pm. With a taxi you might just make kick off. The drawback is that is the last train to come or go from Hull, so you won't be able to leave after the match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of work are you in? Virtually every business I know have been struggling to employ people so I doubt your employer has as much leverage over you as they might like to believe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had bought a Hull Trains return ticket on the day the fixtures came out, which is now worthless. When you strike you want your strike to have an impact. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually every business I know have been struggling to employ people so I doubt your employer has as much leverage over you as they might like to believe. Work at a wildlife sanctuary, rescuing animals which are orphaned or left to die, hit by cars, found in people's houses and so on. I worked as a volunteer for 12 months, finally on a sort of paid job. Get 2 days off every 3 weeks, but not actually had a day off in 2 months now. But paid work with animals is few and far between and I am only one of two members of staff who can drive, and the other is 68 and can't drive far. I've been looking for other paid jobs in the industry, but they are few and far between. Everyone wants volunteers or interns who will work 2 years for free, in hope of getting a paid job. If he dismissed me, he would get 100+ applicants for my job easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid you should want the odd day off every 2 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
