VirginEastCoast have released tickets for our game with Hull.
Numerous trains there and back ranging from £13.25-£15.00 single fares without the railcard discount.
People may be pleased to know that I have booked my ticket and will not be on the ponce like I was for Middlesbrough!
For pubs there is one at 'one o'clock when you look outside the station, but not too sure of the name. Other than that if you turn right out of the station then right again there is a working mens club boozer, although I cannot vouch on how good this one is.

Been offered a row of terraced houses for job lot of 100k
It's not a home game so we can spend as much as we like!
There is a Wetherspoons, The Admiral of the Humber very close to the station. If you go right out the station then take a left at the bingo hall you'll find it (it's away from the ground, but only a 3 minute walk from the station).
Also there is a chippy on the walk to the ground next to a pub called the Clarendon (home fans only) which I can recommend.
I know where I'll be after the game.
Suffice it to say that, as matters presently stand, the football will be almost coincidental, although I'm looking forward to ticking off another new ground. It's also bit of a sentimental journey for me, as I was up there at university between 1976 and 1979, although I've not been back since and am guessing it may have changed a bit.
There was a little train from Hull Paragon station which got you to the ground in 5 or 10 minutes, so we occasionally used to have a session in town and hop on that to see the odd game. The standard was not that great, although it was always quite entertaining. From memory, the crowd weren't shy about handing out stick to their own players if things weren't going according to plan.
@killerandflash - from memory, Ye Olde White Harte and Ye Olde Black Boy in the old town were very good and they are both still around - http://www.wow247.co.uk/2014/03/06/best-pubs-in-hull/ Another CAMRA Heritage pub reasonably near the ground is the 'Polar Bear' on Springbank. I lived opposite it in my second year, paying rent of £4.50 a week, which we negotiated down to £3.80 after a ceiling fell in. Those were the days. Hopefully, the city has benefited generally from some EU money, as it really suffered following the decline of the fishing industry.
