Match Day Thread Hull City v Leeds

[Trumpton Tiger.]

I keep seeing this comment about twirly scarf thing, it makes me smile how it can be commented on by a group of fans that like doing that little “mauled by the tigers” thing they do. Have you had a chance to do that this season?

The youtube clip of 'mauled by the tigers' was taken at Arsenal away in the Premier League when we won 2-1. The same day you were losing away at Yeovil.
When you get in a similar position twirl your scarves in the air to your hearts content. Its a piss take. We've done it a few times at your place recently too as recently as last season.

Hull City vs Leeds United: SMC Statement
Published 04 March 2020

A fixture of this nature can pose significant challenges; this was a local derby, an all-ticket match and with Leeds selling out their full allocation, we anticipated some fans would look to purchase tickets in home areas.

However, it is extremely difficult to identify all of these supporters in advance, with some opposition fans having local postcodes.

A risk-based decision was taken on the day to relocate, rather than eject, visiting supporters from home areas in the interest of spectator and staff safety.

This decision was made given the high number of Leeds fans identified in home areas of the stadium.

We accept the means of relocating these supporters along the East Stand aggravated some home fans and caused distress.

We wholeheartedly apologise to those fans whose matchday experience was adversely affected.

Discussions have taken place with the relevant parties and we are looking at tightening our ticketing and stewarding procedures to mitigate the risk of this happening in the future.

We are considering different options, such as increasing the away allocation and/or removing general admission and selling to existing supporters on our database.

Weak response aimed at validating their actions on the day which were fundamentally wrong.

You do wonder if they do it just to wind up city fans
Much like the South Yorkshire police were absolute power and a total disregard for what’s right.

Don't understand why some think it's a crime if the Allams decide to stop funding Hull City if it becomes non profitable. They could choose to liquidate the limited company (also called ‘winding up’ a company).

"The company will stop doing business and employing people. The company will not exist once it’s been removed (‘struck off’) from the companies register at Companies House.

When you liquidate a company, its assets are used to pay off its debts. Any money left goes to shareholders. You’ll need a validation order to access your company bank account"

Not seen anything about that stopping them being directors of other companies. There may of course be tax implications. Can't imagine the FA or football league been happy about it though.

Sorry mate not going to read all that.

Plenty of companies which are no longer profitable get closed down, I don't see that as a crime. Looking through the www.gov stuff about companies winding up didn't highlight anything either.

Closing a company won't get you disqualified, you basically have to commit some sort of fraud.

Never mind that.

Do your fans still think they're champions of Europe?

It's only this season that they've become the best team in West Yorkshire


It's been oh so quiet from leeds fans for the least decade or so while we've spent 5 seasons in the top flight, with a cup final and the Europa League thrown in.

What about leeds? Losing to Donny at Wembley has been your biggest game in all this time

Now they're piping up as it looks like the PL might finally happen. 15 years of wilderness for a rich city of 750,000 people with a habitually second rate football team.

That's not correct. You can be disqualified for failing to submit your returns to Companies House, failing to fill in your VAT returns and a few other things that most people wouldn't consider fraud.

Plenty of directors of companies in liquidation get disqualified. Here's another link for you

Come on, ****s they are but the Allams are not daft regarding business. They have shown on a number of occasions that they know the law and how to use it.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Failing to file for years, ignoring numerous demands, being quite obviously on the fiddle, nobody ever got disqualified for a late filing.

You’re really over-egging this, the chances on the Allams getting themselves disqualified are nil, absolutely ****ing zero.

The SMC, stewards, plod and anyone else are weak as ****. Always have been.
L**ds was nothing new, it's been going on for decades.
Away fans get on the pitch to celebrate goals (seem to remember a streaker against Stockport years ago) - **** all happens.
A loyal City fan, match sponsor etc makes a non violent protest on the pitch and is quickly 'escorted out of the ground'.

Root and branch rottenness at the club.

Really? Lol! Think you need some help from your doctor, he might be able to do something about that chip on your shoulder.

Doctor, I think I'm delusional, I keep telling everyone we're the champions of Europe

Nurse, please increase his medicine, and give him a new scarf to twirl, he's soiled this one,

That's because of how they manage the finances. There's no way we'll go into administration/liquidation whilst we're in the championship owing them £50 million.

Actually a referral to a shrink or counsellor might be more appropriate.

Blimey he's back

Do you do the Leeds salute too?
