Same here. In the time I've been away I've got involved in other things. Even if the twats left I'm not sure I'd be back. Whose to say what the next owners will be like? More of the same? Most of the owners nowadays are just in it for the dosh and **** the fans.
Its an absolute ****ing disgrace. Supporters of the future, will undoubtedly have their heads turned. Fortunately mine are old enough to make their own decisions - they've packed it in as well.
I know some of the shut up and eat types will be sneering at some of these individual stories but I find it genuinely heart breaking to read of fans/families being pushed to the limit by these ****s. Forged family traditions/ quality time with kids and older generations/ a shared and lived passion (the lows and highs) being dashed by their malice and intransigence. **** knows what sort of a club they'll leave behind when they finally go.
Just think how sweet it will be when they've gone and there's that first game back... Keeps ya going.
Which is fine but not the point I was making. Our attendance dropped the second season under browny in the PL. People in. Hull get bored and stop going. That's what happened.
It's a good thread this. Just don't lose that feeling if we win today. Cheer for the team, but don't let those three points change how we feel. We could win 10 nowt today and I'd still scream Allam out, from the top of the Humber bridge. **** you Allams!
Makes you wonder how those clubs which have spent decades in the top flight have any fans left who aren't fed up with the boredom of it all. This area certainly latches on to things and then equally quickly unmatched. For a brief period .Hull Vikings got more than City, FC and Rovers combined until the novelty wore off.
I've just received the membership brochure, with accompanying letter informing me of changes. I wasn't aware both memberships and attendances had increased? Amazing how a 12 page glossy sales brochure fails to mention the name of the club (apart from in the address in the small print on the back page).
It dropped from a sellout every game to almost a sellout every game, there was only a 400 difference between average attendances between those two seasons.
I remember in our first stint in the premier, talking to Bolton fans who were bored silly under Allardyce, of finishing midtable every season. And that would have been with JJ at his peak, which in hindsight find that hard to believe.
They hadn't got bored after one season though. I remember talking to some Sheff Utd fans some years ago who said if we got to the PL it would be a disappointment. Just making up the numbers with every dodgy refereeing decision going against you. West Brom fans said similar. They both said they enjoyed the Championship more. If a group of them wanted to go to most away games they could. Whereas in the PL one, some or none would get tickets for most games and if they did were surrounded by people just as interested in the other team as themselves. As we found out very quickly.

Thanks thats my point. The attendance dropped. Wasnt hard was it. First season Bolton at home 24,900. Second season 23,000. DROPPED. Got bored, not a sexy team, holidays, etc etc etc
Lot of Potbonking Juggers, that I speak to, are the same. Bored ****less, they'd welcome a relegation scrap just so it sparks some interest.
It's all our fault folks. The good people of Hull are just fickle. We're uneducated, soulless and greedy. The Allams have tried to lead us down the path of righteousness and we're too dumb to follow. You can lead a Tiger to water, but you can't make it drink.
Selling out our stadium in the Premier League would be easy with a decent team and a decent owner. FACT.
