And put people off even bothering to buy a pass. Whichever you try and look at the Allams mindset it just isn't possible to understand this situation !!
You don't think they are trying to swing the vote, so you think many adults will vote in favour of concessions at the cost of doubling their own tickets. As you have shown there is a standard clause 3.2 regarding the passing on a ticket which nearly all clubs use and yet our club has to come up with it's own "no one else to use the ticket, regular spot checks requiring photo ID, confiscation of ticket, apply in person to get ticket back and a 35 quid fine" What make's you think they won't implement what's voted for?
HCST newsletter update - HCST is discussing with our affiliates Supporters Direct and The Football Supporters Federation the most appropriate action to take following the club failing to reply to our e mail this week.
My old man has now responded to the club regarding their invite for him to vote in their poll & included the Trust in his response.
I can already foresee the vote results. Yes to concessions - 10 No to concessions - 7 Yes to free holidays and the Allams doing whatever they want with the club - 12371
When I'm bored with it all you'll be reading my obituary, perhaps sooner than expected though! Maybe we should follow the ****bag OSC's stance, say nowt and bend over and ... The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine, although on this particular occasion...
Can't be bothered with a petty argument. However I have been to both Man City and Man Utd on a colleagues pass this year and it is done on a very regular basis without anyone given a ****, no false threats, no forcing people to have an ID card like some draconian society. I though Allams fled Egypt to get away from a dictatorship not start one......
He left Egypt because he was going to university in Germany - he stopped in England beforehand to see some relatives but ended up staying - he got his story mixed up - he said he was a student but he also claimed to be an auditor for the Egyptian Government when he left - he came to England when he was 29 - hardly a young outspoken student fleeing Egypt - has he ever said anything and not meant it - I think we all know the answer - torture. fleeing. counterfeit money. the bank giving him £20 - does anyone believe a word of it l
We could have a minutes applause for you and reflect on the effort you had to put in to support your team. When I go could someone bring in my dead body and throw it on the pitch at 19.04
That would be some protest. But, only if you've had your ID done first. I was going to post that the imposition of ID's will finally kill it. Seems appropriate to post now.
The OSC hasn’t got a stance in this. Have a go at me if you like, but, the OSC, isn’t going to say anything about this issue. We have not discussed the vote and have no intention or interest as an organisation in the vote. We acknowledge that we are too closely linked to the club to have full independence. That said, we are fine with being consulted, but that is were it starts and stops. Your post is naive. Today, my focus will be on the raffle of a life size Tiger that the OSC is running for St Andrews hospice, a few pints and the game. I will be smiling when I see the match day mascots walk out, as we have helped one lad realise a dream, in very emotive circumstances. Last week it was on promoting walking football and next week it will be on our next meet the player event. Your post reminded me why I am involved in the OSC. I am proud of the work we do, the thanks we get, some of the emails saying thank you actually bring tears to my eyes. The Spurs supporter who wrote to us telling us about how Headway has changed his life and that the continued fundraising we do for the charity is been put to good use, not only for Ryan Mason but for others like him. I am looking forward to the day when we completely fund a wheelchair for the Electric Eels football team the chosen fund for our new HCOSC golf society. So knock that as much as you like.
TOM I have no issue with the OSC. For what it’s worth I think that making it very clear that they are closely linked to the Club and therefore they have a completely different role has made it better for people to understand Goes without saying, hopefully, that the charity work is excellent My only question on your post though is if the OSC are, as you say, ‘fine with being consulted’ then surely they would need a stance to be able to effectively reply to that consultation? Good luck with the raffle today by the way
Thanks. I think we understood right from the start that our role is to go into the meetings with open minds. We know the issues that effect the supporters and we also know what the club needs to do to improve the situation. We do not have a set in stone series of objectives. Our rep should say “I think” and not “We think” when asked a question or when giving an opinion as a supporter and the opposite way round when as an OSC rep. As long as it is an honest reply, I am happy with that. I don’t have to agree a stance with our rep as I trust her to be honest and true to herself as a Hull City supporter and a Director of the OSC. It might not be prefect, but actually sometimes life is like that.
