Hull City players to meet their Driffield fans

Hull City’s promotion chasing stars are to meet their fans at a special Official Supporters Club event in Driffield in partnership with KCOM.

The community Q&A event, which is being organised in partnership with KCOM, will be held at Driffield Secondary School from 6.45pm on Thursday, 30 January.

As well a chance to get autographs and photographs with members of the current team, ex-City players will also be on hand to talk about their memories of playing for the Tigers.

Kathryn Townsley, of the Hull City official Supporters Club, said: “We’re very excited to be bringing fans in Driffield the chance to “Meet Hull City - our first such event outside of Hull for a number of years.

“There’ll be chance to ask questions, grab a selfie, get autographs and also to win a signed shirt and ball.”

As Grant McCann’s Tigers push for a place in the Championship play-off places, demand for tickets for the free event is likely to be high with fans urged to book now to avoid disappoint.

Brendon Smurthwaite, KCOM’s community coordinator who will be hosting the event, said: “I’m delighted to be hosting this event in Driffield which is bringing City’s star players closer to their fans in the East Riding. It’s a great opportunity to ask some rising stars and Tigers legends questions about what it’s really like to be a City player and also about what they think of the club’s promotion chances this year.”

Tickets for the Q&A are free but limited. Fans can guarantee a place at the event by downloading a ticket from https://billetto.co.uk/e/a-community-event-tickets-406325.
