    I won't be buying anything from Hull City until the Allams have gone. No ifs no buts.
    No deals no compromise. I'll be back when they've gone and yes I certainly will jump on everything they do wether good or bad.

    I ****ing hate them.

    Is that clear enough?

    It'll be aimed at families and it's school holidays so they can attend whereas those likely to protest etc will be at work. Skeptical but wouldn't surprise me.

    Same old question I'm afraid : incompetence or vindictiveness?

    Neologism:

    Vincompetence

    When a begrudged, spoilt, immature person or persons actions become so erratic, and seemingly without forethought, that it is hard to distinguish if the act is one of vindictiveness or incompetence.

    I deleted my post cos I like yours more. You're right, it's incompetence that appears vindictive in retrospect. That said, the refusal to use the club name is clearly vindictive and calculated to aggravate.

    The 2013 promotion ticket-only celebration at the KCOM: a precedent?

    Tickets awkward to obtain so fewer than 5,000 fans present in the stadium, compared to a whole city on the streets in 2008.

    Way to grow a club and foster goodwill.

    The relationship with the fans was still excellent in May 2013.

    This particular episode was the result of the Allams dislike of the City Council.

    No idea, but I find it hard to believe people with kids are taking 6 weeks off to be at home with them.

    Maybe with some fans, but not me. The Barmby thing was a complete disgrace and a sign of things to come. They've got worse since then, but it was abundantly clear then that they were nasty ****ers and absolutely not to be trusted.

    But somebody is looking after them is the point. And that somebody could take them to the open day.

    You can tell you haven't got kids.

    School holidays used to be a nightmare when the missus was working, great grandparents took up some of the strain, along with friends who also had kids (in a rotor system), along with a paid child minder (who was looking after several peoples kids.

    Did you have parents of your parents who looked after them or you had parents who were great?:emoticon-0100-smile

    So people are looking after them then.

    And just for the record, I didn't even pass any comment on whether it was a nightmare or not. I'm sure it's a royal pain in the arse, which is part of the reason why I don't want kids :emoticon-0148-yes:

    My parents are grand, but it was their parents who regularly did the child minding.

    Yes, but people who couldn't necessarily cart them off to the KCOM, which was the inference.
