KC
Stadium
Hull City AFC
Away Fans
Away fans are located in the North
Stand End of the ground, where up to 2,500 supporters can be housed,
although the normal allocation is half that number. As you would
expect a visit to the KC Stadium is far pleasanter than it was to
the old Boothferry Park. The facilities available are good, plus
there is not a bad view of the playing action to be found anywhere
(although you are a little set back from the pitch). On the
concourse alcohol is available, plus burgers, Hollands pies
etc..
I found the
atmosphere to be good within the stadium, but unfortunately there is
an element of Hull support that feel the need to berate away
supporters throughout the game. This coupled with the fact that
there are no pubs nearby that welcomes away
fans, means that although it is a truly magnificent stadium it is
still not the greatest of days out.
Please note that the
stadium has been designated a no standing area,
which on the face of it seems a little ridiculous. This has led to some unpleasant
confrontations between away fans and stewards, so you have
been warned. Craig Waites a visiting Bradford City fan adds; 'On my
last visit I felt the Policing was over the top. It was like going
back to the 1980's'. |
