A major operation mounted by Beverley, East Yorkshire-based Acklams Coaches saw it arrange a total of 112 coaches to carry Hull City FC fans to Wembley for the club’s FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United on Sunday 13 April – and thanks to the Tigers’ victory, will repeat it next month for the final. .
Operators from as far apart as Durham, Leicester and Rochdale all provided coaches to complement Acklams’ own fleet of 10, which was assisted by two service vehicles and a ‘spare’ coach.
“It came together well,†says Alan Acklam. “All the operators we used were very helpful and they understand that things might change with regards to ticket sales.â€
