In certain things yes he was a good,pr man or bullshitter.
But actually he didn't engage the untapped masses in hull. I don't think any chairman has on a real level.
That's why there's more East Riding fans in the kcom than from hull.
It's the six week holidays and City will be doing the soccer schools. I've posted this many times.
It will be week one kcom and week six kcom. In between it will be a Hornsea, brid, South Hunsley and Beverley.
No longhill no greatfield north bransholme ope bilton grange. And it's been like that for twenty years.
City hardly ever go into schools in hull. Rovers do .fc do.
Why don't City do an open training session one day in east hull, one in north another week.
That's engaging the grass roots.

I know I'm late in replying to this but you're absolutely spot on, Chazz.

So many kids slip the net because they can't access what limited offers the club give in their local area.

The club needs to engage more but then if they can't be bothered to offer them a concession ticket, what hope have we got them doing something extra?

I was down at a Kickz session a few years back at Hull Uni and the whole thing was an absolute waste of time. The four coaches there just stood in the corner of the pitch with their Hull City uniforms on talking and left all the kids to do whatever they wanted. Not a great impression of the club to those kids.

We used to do a sponsored penalty kick with the club - most schools still do - but the quality of that lessened vastly over the few years we had it. The idea was some kids have some coaching sessions over a series of weeks followed by a sponsored kick against Roary at the end. The first couple of years were brilliant and the kids loved it. The final time we did it was the last because the quality of coaches was much less and they sent different coaches every week so the kids were constantly repeating games and skills because nobody had a clue what was going on. Plus, one of the coaches used the children's toilet one week and came out bragging at the state it was left in in earshot of members of staff. Not great.

Tigers Trust do organise football tournaments with the schools and those are excellent. If anything, they should expand them to allow more schools in (currently first come first serve and places go quickly) or do more of them for more ages.

Sounds like somebody needed to get about these clowns. No way would I (or others) have stood back and been a spectator. I no longer get involved as we have absolutely first class coaching at our grass-roots clubs and events - it's a pleasure watching them in action. I can asure you that if one single coach showed any of the crap disciplines you mention, they would have to answer for it - immediately. Don't tolerate ****e.

I went one of the Hull City football things up at South Cave bully field when I was a kid, Roy Carroll was there at the end and let us all take a penalty against him. He saved 80%, but as a fellow keeper I like to think he let mine in.

It was through that I got the offer from Scarborough, doubt that sort of coaching would happen these days.

Our net spend on players over the past seven years is tiny, that might be meaningless to you, I think it's quite interesting.

Rick has absolutely no idea how accurate the transfers are either buying or selling.
Campbell was a free but good frees usually get a signing on fee too. Has he factored that in too.
Hope this helps.

They could be a few bob out either way but we basically know what the players cost and what we sold them for, it'll be there or there about.

I take it that doesn't take into account players wages and running costs etc... all the same obscene amounts of dosh

I think they will have just about been covered by gate receipts, sponsorship and PL payments and parachute payments. And, if we had changed the name to Hull Tigers there was a possibility we would have got another one million pounds. Which would have made the name change all worthwhile. So it is all the fault of CTID.
