AN army of 37,500 Hull City fans are converging on Wembley

for the biggest game in the club's 104 year history.

The M1 motorway was a sea of black and amber as fans flying

scarves and flags headed south this morning via coach, car, van

and minibus to the play-off final against Bristol City.

Bleary eyes were sparkling with excitement at the Walton

Street car park next to the KC Stadium, west Hull, as fans

gathered in their thousands to hop aboard one of more 100

coaches leaving for the capital from the site.

Fans clutching cool boxes, flags and their all-important

tickets for the big play-off final against Bristol City

congregated at the car park early in the morning, as first

reported on the Mail's website.

Shouts of “We Are Hull” echoed across the concrete as

excited supporters dashed around trying to find their coaches

before setting off on the long road to Wembley.

Travelling by coach were sisters Rachel, 10, and Rebecca,

15, Cook, west Hull, who were dressed in black and amber from

their vibrant wigs down to their colourful socks.

Rachel said: “City are definitely going to win, I'm so

excited.

“We'll both be screaming them on – you'll be able to hear me

shouting in Hull.”

At Hull's Paragon Interchange, more than 3,000 extra

passengers boarded trains to travel to London's Kings Cross

this morning.

Lisa Greenham, and her sons Sam, 12, and Tom, nine, were

among those catching the train.

Mrs Greenham, of west Hull, said: “We thought the train

would be the easiest way to travel down. My husband Simon is

already in London so we are meeting him there. It's my birthday

today, so hopefully it will be a great day.”

Paragon Interchange station manager Dean Lancaster said

there were three extra direct trains on top of the three

regular scheduled services, plus about six trains which change

at Doncaster.

He said: “It's been really busy, but it's all gone very

smoothly.”

Graham Boanas, chief executive of Power Plus in West Dock

Street, Hull, missed the traffic by flying to London for the

game in a Cirrus CR22.
