An open letter from Ehab...

[kingstontiger]

You sound like you would be standing on the airplane steps waiving a bit of paper!

Er, no. I think the Allams have been a disaster since 2014 but I think they might now realise they do need the support that they once said was irrelevant and I hoped some might return just to show the manager and players some support, whatever they think of the owners. That's all. Today's attendance not encouraging. I accept a lot wont come back until they leave - just a big shame for the manager.

Nothing wrong with hoping for that
Just never gonna be a big supported club !
If new owners did come in and could push 15,000/16,000 I think that would be very good !

 

[Kempton]

The part I highlighted had nothing to do with where they came from.

“The 10,000 'supporters' they 'lost' were the 10,000 they had jumped on the bandwagon”

It was a wrong assumption that the 10k lost were the same new supporters who you, again wrongly, suggest “jumped on the bandwagon”

Did you “jump on the bandwagon” when you started supporting the club? Not all new supporters started going solely because of the new stadium & many from that generation, including many of the youngsters of the time (who would have gone with or without a new stadium) are still going now.

Many of the lost 10k were going for many years before a new stadium had even been suggested or in fact needed. They’d had enough of the owners who were, & continue, to take the piss.

There were many who felt attracted to the comfort, safety & facilities associated with a new stadium (doesn’t make them bandwagon jumpers) but not all of them, some were the children of long term supporters, others would have been first generation new supporters going with mates who had grown old enough to dump their dads or we’re joining mates & their dads.

To presume all 10k were attracted by a new stadium, refer to them as jumping on the bandwagon & then assume they are the same 10k who no longer go is wrong, short sighted & ignorant.

The “must appear superior” attitude of many of our more senior supporters is quite ****ty at times. People like me would much rather read about your old experiences & laughs at away days & home games than having to endure posts about how better supporters you think you were / are & how **** you think today’s supporters are.

Spot on

Oh do **** off you boring ****

Leave him alone. He's entitled to an opinion especially when I agree with him

 

[City Man]

. Today's attendance not encouraging. I accept a lot wont come back until they leave - just a big shame for the manager.

I wonder how many will come back?

I wonder what percentage of the ones who no longer attend do so 'because of the current owners' ?

No one knows.

My first game today since 2016, atmosphere where l was sat was awful (South /East) a few trying to join in the few hundred in the North /East corner. I felt very much separated from my beloved City, don't know if l want to go again, 3 years of doing other things mainly with my wife and kids made me realise what the Allams tenure has done to me.

Kingston, the Allam's don't give a **** about us the supporters. If they did Enob would have apologised to some extent. The fact that he/they haven't reeks of paying lip service, in your words "they might now realise they do need the support", to try and boost gate receipts now the parachute gravy train has reached the end of the line. So they can **** right off , and then **** right off again.

Didn't David Lloyd say "You will always be crap if you play in a run down stadium"? Cue mass umbrage orchestrated by the HDM

Didn't David Lloyd say "The people of Hull are living in the Dark Ages"?

People resented the words of this uppity rich Southerner, but I don't recall many people playing the "I aren't coming again, he's really wounded me with those harsh words" card.

Different times, different fans.

Lloyd got out, and then the next lot were even worse and bent as owt.

Just sayin like..

But none of them told us we could die when we wanted

Are you actually comparing the Allam's with David Lloyd?! **** me. Well yes of course you are. Did he try and change our name, did he remove concessions, turf disabled sports clubs out of a sports hall, tell us we could die whenever we wanted, and so on ad infinitum.............

I compare and contrast all our owners.

Crazy eh?

Absolutely right, but it never stopped me going, some really awful years before during and after Lioyd but my enthusiasm for City never waned taking me to Runcorn, Witton, Hayes etc.

 

[City Man]

Personally, a soundbite from these or any other owners wouldn't stop me attending to support my club.

Owners come and go.

That's just one thing, people tire of the whole list, its well known what they have and haven't done.My problem is that any enjoyment I might obtain from going is obliterated by the utter contempt and disdain I have for them, and the awful realization that I might have given them some of my money. At one point Assem said "well they cant object that badly, they still come to games". Well , thats something else he got wrong. I wouldnt give those two ****s the steam off my piss

Same here.
Traipsing up and down the country, but always felt connected to the club.
The Allams put paid to that, time and time again.

Different strokes for different folks....

Some hanker for the shower of rust from the Best Stand roof, the bogs behind Kempton, Simon Trevitt's lugs etc.....and don't seem to link the owners of the club in the 90s with that shameful ****ness.

Yes he did. He changed Hull fc to Hull Sharks and he wanted Hull City to be Hull Tiger Sharks. He used the cash raised from City's league cup run which included our biggest pay day for years, Newcastle away, to refurbish the boulevard which he owned and his intention was to move City there and sell Boothferry Park. He spat his dummy out on several occasions.

 

[tigerscanada]

Think they said that their presence distracts fans from supporting the team which is sad but correct.

Then they get grief when they don't attend.

Damned if they do damned if they don't.

Did they not (or one of them) say the supporters are irrelevant ? Seems inconsistent with the first sentence above, unless I'm missing something ?
