I don't think so. He has his own views and he's not afraid to put them forward. He didn't know what happened and wanted more details before expressing his opinion.
Pitchforks at the stadium? About fooking time. It might be enough to entice me to return. What's the revival of this thread about? More news of the sacked groundsmen?
Volunteer pitch repairs sacked...while repairing pitch Anyway your pitchfork would be welcomed at the stadium, but the work might last into darkness so please also bring a flaming torch as well
I listed those who are still quick to leap to the club's defence, not specifically about some volunteers, but just generally. Yesterday it was you with your usual 'it probably didn't happen', Chazz with his 'don't they ever call us Hull City, I hadn't noticed' and Tom with his rather bizarre 'unsold seats have a theoretic value' explanation. Doesn't bother me, I'm just surprised there's anyone left prepared to defend the club after everything that's happened in the past couple of years.
See, another attempt to deflect from the club refusing to use our name, based on a technicality between staff email addresses and club emails.
Today's Daily Mirror... Hull City 'abruptly sack volunteer groundsman' while conducting work on KCOM Stadium pitch http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/hull-city-abruptly-sack-volunteer-10377040
So saying that is defending the owners, how ****ing bizzare. The reasons, timings and in fact, the whole background to this story, is only known from one side and I put forward a view, based on what I know is happening at the club.
A purely speculative scenario. Ehab discovers employed members of the ground staff are dishing out free matchday tickets to their mates, without his knowledge. Ehab loses his **** and summarily dismisses those ground staff members. A few days later, it is discovered that the tickets aren't exactly being dished out to mates, they are being used as a reward for volunteers who replace divots after the match. Ehab finds it characteristically difficult to admit he may have erred. Ehab orders that the volunteers are dispensed with. Desperate to find anyone in employed by the SMC who can replace the divots, SMC employee turns to stewards on duty that day.
The fact that Ehab got the wrong end of the stick and hastily dismisses them, and then wouldn't go back on what he did certainly wouldn't surprise me at all.
Do you think some people will accept the fact that this has happened now that it is in the Mirror and other national newspapers as well as the HDM?
