    Ehab mate, we're not bullies. Where did you get that from? You use that often. How are we bullying you?

    We only want to help our club be as successful as it can be. Or even just a happy club. I can't and don't speak for everyone, but just being a happy Hull City would do for me.

    **** Hull City council, we don't care about that ****.

    We will continue to protest peacefully, but if you choose to use a big stick, that stick will need to be very big.

    Love, Kemps...

    The other directors haven’t had much chance to read it yet, that and the fact that we sent out a press release earlier about our fundraising, 3k for good causes

    People in Hull will still consider that expensive. I looked on Wolves site the other week to see what it would have cost me as a pensioner with my 2 grandkids to see them play Leeds. Total £25. Similar seats at the KC £72. As I said at the time, whilst we are losing fans some other clubs are building up a fanbase for tbe future.

    IMO it is expensive. The last two games I attended at the KC were Trenčin (£10) and Swansea (£16).

    You can argue that pricing is comparable to other leisure pursuits but, ultimately, you are changing people's behaviour en masse.

    If you are priced out of watching football, you will play FIFA instead or watch the game on Sky.

    If you are priced out of Sky you will watch the game on kodi.

    If kodi gets shut down you will find something else to do with your time.

    Geoff made the point after the previous meeting that the Allams have managed to break a bond in a market governed by price inelasticity (people will want to watch their team irrespective of the cost).

    Was there in Slovakia - £10 + around £300 of travel & accommodation costs (the beer was cheap!) but some of the best value for money I've ever spent!

    Seen the price for Bolton? Or what Wednesday was? It isn't so much City being expensive, at least not as far as single adults go, but the pricing for younger fans that is the problem.

    C'mon PLT, there were people on various city forums doing it. However, 2 to 3 thousand ? That's a bit like saying there's only 300 against them, or whatever bollocks they spouted recently.

    Absolutely, but then I was tempted to go and watch Ferriby last season. Balked at the £12 cost. Not quite like-for-like but I can go down the playing fields and watch a match for free. I have a young daughter and can think of 101 ways to better spend the money.

    At the end of the day, the sport is eating itself (although I've not been able to get onboard with what the BBC has decided it can afford to televise - Lacrosse world championships from some field in Surrey or Wheelchair tennis).

    What is there left for Hull City to achieve? Top 10 finish in the top flight? A run in Europe? A cup final win?

    If the real buzz is meeting up with mates for a few drinks and a singsong with a bit of camaraderie then something will arrive to fill the void.

    Here, here Kemps.

    And think twice Ehab if you do start to use a big stick.

    Football used to be a routine before.
    The trouble is once you get out of that it's not that much my of a miss.
    A bit like the Saturday nights our with the lads.!!
    Once you stop doing it you don' miss it after a bit and probably won't go back to it.
