Watford will provided ten free coaches for supporters travelling to Hull City in April.

The Hornets were due to face the Tigers on Easter Monday but their promotion rivals applied to have the fixture moved back after their game with Huddersfield Town the previous Saturday was pushed back to a 5.20pm kick-off, as it will now be shown on Sky Sports.

Watford offered to provide free coach travel to supporters as it will be extremely difficult to return home to Hertfordshire via public transport for the rescheduled April 2 clash, which kicks off at 7.45pm.

The offer of free travel has now ended but tickets for the match are still available here.

If the offer has ended why write a headline about it?

"500 fans snap up tickets for the wildest coach ride of their lives" maybe not eh. I'd still rather pay for petrol and drive there so I don't feel like I'm stuck on a coach with the ghastly smell coming off of some of the special ones. I remember the coach to hull in the playoffs....had to sit behind someone who smelt of sweat, poo and sick mixed together. Never doing that again. But fair play to the club for putting on these freebies especially as not everyone has the luxury of a car etc. They often answer our calls for help when something doesn't go our way!

I guess you moved seats on the way back! Got to sit sit next to someone with halitosis, smelling of engine oil, stale socks and **** no doubt.

Oh dear! Not that question, Michael chopra but as he was on loan does it count? Before that I can't remember.

I have to admit I don't actually know the non loan answer. Anyone?

Kevin Phillips was the last actual Watford player to score a hat-trick. It was during the 96-97 season & if my memory is correct it was during a 7-0 win

Wouldn't want to sit on a stinking coach for 4 & a half hour anyway.. Why wasn't people told when ordering there tickets.. Why not free coach travel for all who want it?? In the passed this has been whats happened....

Peter Kennedy away to Southend is the one i would say but didn't Darren Bazeley score one once? How about Gary Porter's hatrick when we were 3-0 down home to Bolton with 20 mins to go and ended up winning 4-3?

If Vydra scores a hat trick will it be counted like Chopra's one, i.e. loan player so it doesn't count?! :-)
