    Maximum embarrassment caused to the Allam's would be at Chelsea away.

    No, apart southern supporters, just suggesting it as an opportunity, Ehab will almost certainly be there.

    The flaw in the “don’t go to matches” argument, which I totally respect, is that the Allams will still get £40m next season even if crowds plummet. That’s a massive cash return that will ease any embarrassment considerably.

    Let's face it, they don't give a **** about the football club (staff, players, the whole lot) and even less about the supporters.

    If it was me, I'd be quite 'happy' to sit and wait for £40m (that's FORTY MILLION POUNDS) all the while ignoring any half assed 'protests' and one or two websites / forums that they individually probably don't trouble themselves with (apart from eagerly reading shazz's squad predictions each week).

    And once the £40m is pocketed, simply close down that part of their business 'empire'.

    Hull City is an irrelevance to them once the £40m is received.

    A boycott will never work as there will always be a significant number of supporters who "will go to support the team not the regime"
    If that's the case why should a supporter miss out on the benefits of going to the games by boycotting which no one will notice or understand anyway.
    It has to be at the game and visual. The red cards was a great start which should not have stopped when and why it did.
    The We Are Hull City banner worked well and that only takes a few people to sort and hold up, imagine if there were 10 banners in different places around the ground at different times.
    If you can't get the banners in, the front rows of the East stand are often empty and on screen. Book 10 seats in a row get some tee shirts with a single letter on and spell out Allams Out.
    Throwing stuff onto the pitch can get you banned from the ground, be very careful going down that route.I am amazed the Allams didn't make a move against those who did it last time.

    Any protests being planned for a televised game are not going to be discussed on an open forum.

    I'm pretty sure sad weird ****ing losers only put me into their posts in the hope it makes them readable.

    My reason for staying away is nothing to do with troubling the Allams in any way. I know my non-attendance will not bother the Allams at all in any way, shape or form.

    It’s a personal choice based on the effect it will have on me if I were to attend.

    The only way they are going to take notice at all is if something effects their personal life's or the allam marine business/brand.... Anything to do with football they won't care at all because no matter what's done they will still get sky money/paracute payments.

    I've no Idea what to do, but it has to effect them away from football

    HCST need to put an end to attending the meetings by publicly announcing they have no confidence in the owners. Again the Allams manipulate the situation to their own ends and we go along with it. As many have already said, nothing will come of those meetings as they are designed to get to the end of this season whilst minimising any bad publicity.

    What is the missing word? I was hoping it was 'a' but think it is probably 'no'

    Very good post , I'm glad you've actually tried to explain all this instead of assuming everybody knew all about the move but didn't care

    For what it's worth a lot of fans not directy affected by this didn't know much about what happened

    I think they should have bothered to find out and learn something. I wasn't affected but I went out of my way to learn.

    How come you didn't know? You must have skipped over all of dutchs posts prior, during and for a long time after.
