Hull fan’s fury at EFL over Spygate after spending £2,000 to attend playoff final
Jack Gorbert travelling from Australia for Wembley game
EFL has raised doubts over fixture with Southampton
A Hull City supporter who has spent about £2,000 to attend the Championship playoff final from his home in Australia says the English Football League has “no regard for fans” after “Spygate” plunged the game into uncertainty.
Jack Gorbert is a former Hull season-ticket holder who relocated to Melbourne. The 27-year-old rushed to secure a flight home to see his side at Wembley on 23 May after their win over Millwall in the Championship playoff semi-final this month. With a cost of almost £1,300 for the return journey, plus an additional £700 in other hotel and travels costs, the uncertainty has left Gorbert with a major expense and no guarantees that the fixture against Southampton will go ahead as planned.
