Just to be clear; you're saying that if my people skills improved, Hull City fans may start to be more United? Right. If we're doing things that you knew were a good idea ages ago then I have to wonder why you didn't act on them before we caught up to your line of thinking.
Just skimmed through the thread but I don't think a protest will have any effect whatsoever on the owners. They will just totally ignore whatever is going on. I think there are too many people who do not come on here and have not necessarily heard of the protest or would want to protest. My own personal view is that I attend to support the team and I hate to think of them playing to an empty stadium. They have enough to contend with without that. We can argue on here forever about what the best course of action is but surely we must all realise now that there is no shifting the Allams and no shaming them. They do not care what we think or what we do. They seem to be set on destruction of the club.
I have said I have never seen a load of them. Maybe they don't parade about in shirts of other clubs as they are mindful of the consequences.
There's are Leeds based fans on here and CI. Would be interesting to see how many thy see wandering about in Man Utd shirts.
Ok, as the Trust has recently escalated the campaign with the advert and the boycott you might have thought a meeting was a good idea.
What do you think the subject of such a meeting should be? I'm just trying to get my head around the angle we'd need to take on this for it to make sense.
Not so many Man Utd shirts , but for some reason you see quite a few poor souls wandering about aimlessly in Liverpool shirts/ training tops.
When the often mentioned gate of 1,700 against Torquay comes up it is forgotten that the reason it was so low, well, even lower than normal, was that there were calls for a boycott. This saw roughly 50% of a normal crowd not turn up. It does show that boycotts etc are forgotten and don't really change things. Of course a lot of fans are not aware of it for the good reason they were very young or not even born then. Others may be unaware as they had other priorities at the time. Maybe explains why people not going to a match they weren't really interested in against unattractive opposition and is one everyone has to pay for is considered a good idea. The fact is only a handful would not attend games against attractive opposition that they have already paid for and in the case of a Cup game against Man Utd the ons who don't go will have their places taken by customers, they aren't supporters, who aren't interested in City but just want to gaze upon the likes of Ibra, Pogba etc...
You could bill it as a mid-season update on Trust activities and a forum for discussion/suggestions of how to continue with further action. Or something along those lines. And indeed just an opportunity to socialise with other fans at the same time.
This best thing to piss Ehab off is to use that small cock jibe....... that's something that should be used to taunt him....maybe a chant or 2 on televised games ....sort of childish thing that would genuinely piss him off and embarrass him if it's in front of sky's camera's and the world's media, that would be more effective imho.
For once DMD, jack in the instant mud slinging and debate the actual issues here, eh? You are surely better than this crap.
I walk around Middlesbrough on a weekly basis and see lots and lots of different club shirts, not just Boro's. I'm afraid you are simply plain wrong on this one.
The subject should be reclaiming the soul of our club and how we do it. How to make supporting City fun, without the heavy Allam cloud hanging over us. I think we can reclaim the soul of our club without the permission of the Allams. For me reclaiming our club isn't dependant on the ownership, it makes no difference to me whether they sell or not. I'm weird like that. I blame too many viewings of Ben Kingsley making salt. Reclaiming our soul means reinvigorating the campaign over the use of our name and re-instating concessions. Supporting Hull City in the relegation battle. A by-product of doing this successfully will be a reminder to the people of Hull and the wider world what useless businessmen the Allams are. How they put their own personal interests above the interest of supporters, young, old and disabled. How they treat the sporting community of Hull and their families with the closure of the Airco. After all they do what is morally right for them, even when thousands of young people are evicted from their sporting home. It doesn't make sense to you because you think that is what the Trust is already doing. I and others don't. Achieving unity means opening a genuine dialogue with people you disagree with and looking for an agreed way forward, if possible. If we get unity on the way forward, we elect a broad based committee and start putting that strategy into practice.
It's a fans trust. They should welcome comments. Perhaps, if people communicated instead of getting defensive and arsey like that ^^^^, we could have moved on ages ago. As I said, it seems some of the suggestions from a bit back are finally being taken up. The usual response is to suggest someone else does it, which kind of defeats the aim of uniting fans, as do prickly replies to suggestions and opinions.
They aren't obliged to welcome your instant default to mud slinging though, are they? I'm trying to help here, but as ever you get uppity and defensive rather than actually continue a useful debate. Mark of the man I suppose.
Hating the Allams for many comes first, supporting Hull City AFC a distant second. In that sense they have already won because its all about them. They have become more important than Hull City Thats a brilliant line Obi. And whats happened.
