HULL City fans are gearing up for the biggest day in the

club's history on Sunday with many heading to the KC Stadium to

share the moment.

Only 2,100 lucky Tigers fans will be able to witness the

nail-biting game against Ipswich at Portman Road.

So City officials have opened the turnstiles at the KC to

allow other fans to share the stadium atmosphere and watch the

game on a big screen.

Debbie Kelsey from west Hull is hoping to go along with her

eight-year-old son Adam and her father Arthur Walton, 74.

She said: “It will be a fantastic milestone and the KC is

the best place to be for it.”

If results go their way, the Tigers could be automatically

promoted to the Premier League.

Commercial director Andy Dawson said: “We would encourage

people to come along.

“Although many will watch the game at home or in the pub,

I'd expect a couple of thousand.”

Brendon Smurthwaite, Hull City press officer, added: “Doors

open at 1pm and obviously we'd like as many supporters as

possible inside the KC Stadium on Sunday to create a great

atmosphere for what could be a truly memorable day in the

history of the club.”

The game will be shown on the 44sqm television screen that

was installed earlier this year.

The match kicks off at 2pm and Hull City fans should simply

turn-up at the KC Stadium turnstiles on the day.
