So you wanted people on the pitch and the game stopping ? Would you have done that yourself or did you just want other people to do it ?
Just to be clear I think it was a good protest I also think that while I do think it would have been better if more could join in with balls that the people organising deserve respect for getting off their arse and doing it It will have been a call made regarding secretiveness that was made by well meaning people, probably in a pub or on WhatsApp, not people with marketing departments and media advisers so fair play But I think that unless everything is resolved tonight then a statement that every home game will be stopped with balls until they are wouldn’t be out of order
Tonight, the Allams need to identify some dates when they commit to have made the changes discussed previously. A holding answer is no longer acceptable and will be seen as a sign of bad faith. Tick tock.
Sorry to say but we've played the meetings with the Allams totally wrong - we keep ending up with actions when its the Allams that need to take action - ie first meeting , fans to Allam, start calling the team Hull City and rescind all reference to Hull City Tigers and Hull Tigers within 7 days - Allams to fans either yes, no or delay - fans to press - we've asked Allams to start calling club by proper name and they have agreed Or they have refused to call the club by it's proper name - newspaper headline, the owners of Hull City are refusing to call the club by it's proper name - much better than Allams cancel meeting because of veiled threats - the actions from these meetings are not for the fans to take away but for the Allams to do
We must be about the same age, I detest the Blunts, and I recall clearly being at Burnley when there was almost more of them than there was of us and Burnley combined.
Hmm, my memory's playing me up then. Yes I remember a number of Blunts being there - away to the left on the open terrace behind the goal. But I don't recall there being THAT many, especially when compared to City's following that night, which I've always thought was (relatively) massive. This is how it's recalled in my, er, 'book'... "The amount of Hull City supporters making the trip to Turf Moor that spring evening in 1984 took everybody by surprise, especially Burnley FC and the Lancashire constabulary. It meant that many were still outside the ground when the game got underway as the turnstiles struggled to cope with demand for access. I was one of them and bounced along with the rest of the waiting queue as news of an early City goal travelled along the line. Brian Marwood had netted after a minute. Once inside it was an amazing sight. The huge travelling support had the away enclosure rocking and the noise was incredible. To our left, beyond the home section in The Longside and standing on the open Bee Hole End terracing was an impressive number of Sheffield United fans, which lent a rather surreal feel to proceedings." Ironically, whenever I think of that Burnley game I go back to our 4-1 win at Wimbledon a few weeks earlier and the ironic cheer we all gave when Glyn Hodges (?) netted the Dons' late consolation goal. Little did we all know then that we'd cheered the goal that would ultimately keep us down.
yeah I wasn't saying I remember there being that many Blunts...although there was a few ...it was just horrible that's all
Human dog and sheep poo in order to get shot down by lamb beretas ****e post comment. Listening to Burnsy interviewing several fans (west standers) before the game I can't remember hearing one that supported the protest. One lady even accused the protesters of killing the club. A few were anti Allam and one was very anti Mr Bielby and went on at great lengths about not being dictated to as to what he should and shouldn't do. Now when I use the term west stander I refer to the type of miserable git type fan from the west stand at BP. ( Not the opportunist hooligans who bought passes in there late 90's to be "nice" to away fans seated at the north end of that stand.) I had about 20 pals who moved to the kc west stand 10 yrs ago -W11 or around there and so I know that almost normal people do in fact go in there. Its this -not being dictated to attitude that everyone seems to have these days that will prevent any unity. Instead of all rallying around together, swallowing your pride and doing whatever is right for the long term future of the club, its -Lets protest!! "well I'm anti allam but I'm not gonna protest", the protest wont work I'm a boycotter, I support the shirt the allams wont put me off going, I'll never set foot in the stadium while the Allams are here. almost endless permutations. The point I was making is that unless ALL fans do the same thing, be it protest, boycott or in fact murder, as i suggested earlier, then the whole thing will play into the Allams hands. We do need a leader and someone who we all get behind but this will never happen. Too many bitchy keyboard warriors slagging "so an so" off whereas in the days before the internet they wouldn't dare voice their opinion in the real world and detractors would not have the platform they have today to voice their misguided opinions. The internet instead of helping this situation is helping to split and divide fans. . Can you imagine what WW1 would be like if fought nowadays? facebook and twitter would be full of "**** this I aint going over the top" Images of body strewn battlefields all over snapchat and Instagram with live feeds of bodies mown down in the thousands, would turn us all into a nation of cowards. I'm asking City fans where is your backbone? Where is your camaraderie? Why cant we all go over the top together just like the last episode of Blackadder? Its all too pc nowadays, Ive got my rights I cant be forced to do this etc etc. We should all be prepared- nay even willing to be cannon fodder. We cant, we wont and never will and anyway I bet Ehabs got a small piece of lead in his top pocket with his moniker on it. To me and hundreds of other boycotters all we can do is wait till they leave and watch from afar as 3/4 of the crowd cling on to nanny.
The first 3 lines were factual merely reporting what was said on Humberside. After the first line for suggsy. btw Cityman I didn't class those who went in the Well as "west standers" despite the fact most of them were miserable gits as well. I know who you 2 are in real life and I am greatly honoured that my post managed to avoid your perusal.
