Yes Fez, Al believes the two things were of equal importance.

Jeez...

I don’t believe he wrote that, Kempton, but he wrote what he wrote and used the 96 as a comparison, which was wrong and unnecessary. You’ve brought it up again, why?

Because I got busy with **** and forgot to reply to Tom's ridiculous posts on the matter.

Haven't been since the 6-0 thrashing of Fulham. I attended a meeting before that game in which it became clear the depths to which the Allams were going to stoop. And it turned out I underestimated them. The warning signs had been there before then - more in the way they did things, perhaps, as opposed to what they actually did - but their early conduct in the name change did for me.

Has it done any good? Well, the Allams are still there. They're still making money out of Hull City. And I've been told by a former employee of the club that the Allams would very happily play in front of an empty stadium. They see fans as an inconvenience as much as anything else. So no, my actions have largely been futile. But I know I'm not giving them a penny of my money. And I'm happy with that. The key battle left for the fans to win is that of the Allams' legacy. And if that is a broken football club playing in front of a one-third full stadium, then that's a victory. As hollow a victory as is imaginable, but a victory nonetheless.

It's been said a thousand times, but this is all so unnecessary. Their ability to pick needless fights that would bring empty victories even if they won is quite astonishing. It's led to the worst atmosphere in the club in living memory. They've stopped friends of mine from going - friends who would think nothing of taking days off to attend midweek away matches at Exeter and Brighton that we were never going to win, friends who would live off Pot Noodles and toast for a week when they were out of work so they could still afford to go to the dreadful mid-90s version of City - in a way that I never thought was possible. How permanent that damage is, I don't know. I hope it isn't. I hope the rebuilding of the club is as fun and exciting as it was 15 or so years ago. Time will tell on that. But for now, I want nothing to do with anything that puts a penny in the Allams' pocket. I want nothing to do with anything that might be seen to giving even the vaguest approval of their hideous regime.

I fully expect that you could change the posters name on this post, along with their last game, and it could apply to many thousand City fans, including many posters on here, certainly myself. It's a great post but sad at the same time, sad because it makes it so clear that the Allam's are obviously so ****ing stupid that they totally disregard, and care nothing, for the damage that they're doing to the the club.

Just **** off Allam's, you pathetic dispicable family of poisonous cretins.

I cancelled my membership today. Gave them a list of reasons why too. Received a 'cut & pasted' reply which made a point of telling me that my last payment will be collected on 1 June 2018. The last straw is the need to carry photographic ID

I don't live in a Police state and don't see why I should carry photographic ID. I have a photo driving licence and a passport but many supporters might not. What are they supposed to do? Furthermore there are times when I can't make a home match. I used to let a friend or work colleague have my seat but I can't anymore. Stuff 'em; I'll use the money to go to more away games.

Im becoming increasingly convinced that 'our' club is now totally ****ed until we get new owners. Attendaces next season will be horrendous. What the Allams are doing to fans makes no sense whatsoever.

I have always felt from the beginning of their tenure might end badly, as I have a lot of dealings with Egyptian through my business life, and the way they have operated has turned out how I feared, but in the beginning, I was prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

When this name change issue came up I was undecided whether to stop going or not, but decided, because of my age, that they weren't going to deprive me of watching my teams, which started in 1958.

I have now cancelled my membership for next season, as their games with these ballots and the like are the last straw, they are treating loyal fans like idiots, and enough is enough. Like you I just do not feel I can pay them any more of my money. I only hope that they are gone sooner rather than later, as I would like to see my team play again in an atmosphere that is enjoyable before my time on this earth is at an end.

Just the very concrete idea of funding myself £600+ to attend the season , sends a shiver down my spine. Yes I work , but that is 1 big financial gulch.

I've kept out of all this, because even I'm tired of hearing my drum, but I said at the time, the writing was on the wall when they saw the lack of fuss (to say the least) over the evictions.

You're probably right there, many supporters were not concerned that the "hooligan element" were being moved (at short notice) off screen and out of hear shot on the telly. "It is his club after all, if you don't like buy the club it's up for sale you know" and all the rest.

I stopped in May, 2016.

It was a culmination of attrocities - I can’t be arsed to detail as it’s all been said before but it meant that I couldn't square it with my own conscience anymore.

For me, the boycott means home and away though so unless the Allams have a a hugely unlikely volte face – then I won’t be going at all, again.

I’ve never been to watch/support another club and never could see me doing so – despite living near other teams in the past.

I’ll always be a City fan.
