im going to go to the public access bridge above the dock and stand above them or if quiet get next to the leaving the dock i know a few good spots and its just after the red arrows so should be a great place to be

then off to victoria dock for the main start
 
sorry just another quick one if you are going protect your gear well i spoke to several ex doorman coleagues and people have been fighting today / tonight

lots of people drunk for most of the day as said above fighting etc has been happening it is sad too see this on what is meant to be hull,s / east yorkshires biggest day's of this year

watch yourselfs and be safe
 
I tried to get another pass for a fellow Press Tog and no joy - I applied for mine over 2months ago! Really looking forward to tomorrow but up early 6.00am to avoid the parking rush etc... Media Centre Opens at 8.30am so lots of time to arrange which Media Boat I can get a lift on to cover the race begining from the wet side.... can not wait!
