Agreed, got to support the southern side, especially as they wear red and white (sort of). Bristol for me.

For complicated reasons Hull have been my second team for about the last 25 years and I try to watch at least once a season.

For all of that time they have been the perfect second team - generally hopeless and no threat to Arsenal (we played them in the League Cup about 20 years ago and cruised through).

So I'll be watching today (on TV, sadly, as I couldn't get tickets) with mixed emotions. On the one hand I want Hull to win but it will fell wrong for them to be in the Premier League and facing Arsenal (though no divided loyalties for me if they do meet).

I been to both the KC Stadium (modern, good views, characterless) and ashton Gate (traditional, run down poor views, atmospheric). One key point is that KC is an easy walk from the station while Ashton Gate is stuck on the Western edge of Bristol and hard to get to.

So I say Bristol

Maybe but at the KC there is huge amounts of police and barriers so I doubt there will be any trouble.

No!

Can't say I'm gutted Bristol didn't win, as I'm Arsenal through and through, but all the same.....as I live in Bristol, I think it would have given a buzz to the city....oh well.

delighted, it's another local trip for me. big tip to anyone who cares to listen. park up at the PArk and Ride just of the A63/A64?? at the end pf the M62 and use the P&R it's cheap and direct to the stadium. away end will holf 3k away fans easy depending upon how many tickets they want us to have.

the quays is well worth a night out and i will be willing to meet a few out and about if Southampton Gunner wants to join us!!!
