92 Clubs – Day 17 – Hereford, Huddersfield, Hull

This day wasn’t as difficult as it could have been.  The start wasn’t too early in that I left on the 8:22 direct train to Hereford. I had two choices at Hereford.

1. Walk to the ground at Edgar Street and then have lunch before catching the 13:08 to Manchester.
2. Get a taxi and hope I could get back in time for the 11:53 to Manchester. This was only eleven minutes.

I chose the latter and made it with a couple of minutes to spare, as the outgoing train was four minutes late. The picture of the ground also wasn’t one of the best.

But I was now on my way. The change in Manchester was a bit chaotic, but I arrived in Huddersfield with sufficient time for the shortish walk to and from the ground in time to get the 16:16 train to Hull.

Details at the Galpharm Stadium

Hudderfield’s Galpharm stadium is impressive and is certainly architecturally and structurally more interesting than many of the new grounds like Coventry, Southampton and Leicester. I had my picture taken in the club shop.

Perhaps that is a bit of a cop-out, but I was in a hurry and the weather was rather fresh.

It was then on Hull.

I did take a taxi to the stadium.

Walking Back from the KC Stadium

But the picture was taken as I walked back. The walking route is easy and the railway tracks are well bridged.

I caught the 19:10 train back from Hull and it was on time in Kings Cross.

But then of all the trains I have taken, only one has been late by more than four minutes. And the Hereford to Manchester train, which was late by four minutes was to my advantage.
