There's a general feeling that the standing ban was an over-reaction and that almost everyone is in favour of some sort of a return, so I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen.
Hope you're right, but I'd be surprised. Problem is no one wants to put their name to over-turning a standing ban which has been put in place on the grounds of safety. Its going to take someone in government to have very broad shoulders and big balls.
Well, I'm going to be in the Upper West - my first time at the K.C. I'm gonna shout/scream...! UTT TFFT
I think we should put the idea forward before Saturday... we can do the little gay scarf waving like Leeds do
You lot perform the campest arm motions ever conceived in the horrendous 'Mauled by the Tigers' and you think the scarf waving in WACCOE is gay? Dear, dear me.
Why is it gay? I'd rather we did it the traditional way with arm motions rather than scarves but really don't see what's remotely homosexual about it.
I sit in the West Stand in the Family area, and I definitely am NOT one of the prawn sarnie lot, but believe me, not a lot of noise comes from the South stand either, or the East for that matter! It's no where near as noisy as away games obviously, and if the score or the game isn't going our way, its even worse - so change the record please, its getting very boring
Il Duce - I sort of see what you mean that the scarf thing isn't literally homosexual, it just seemed really... gay when performed at the KC this season. The mauled by the tigers thing is ironic, the idea being that when 3 goals down the last thing you want to see is 3,000 amber-clad fully grown men waving tiger claws at you. I've yet to meet a single opposition fan who appreciates it as irony, you all seem to think we're trying to be genuinely scary.
Well I must say I never appreciated the seminal terrace irony of the Hull fans subverting the notion of homophobia being rife among football supporters. Good on you. And I can't imagine why anybody else would have thought you were being serious with the mauling gestures; I mean Hull is widely known as a place of sophistication, wit and sagacity so it completely bypasses me why the ironic nature of that chant has been overlooked.
The clubs been giving away buy one get one free ticket vouchers to kids doing soccer training over the holidays. I know dis to be real, cos my kid got one today dint he!
Exactly. I think I've seen enough of your posts to know that while your white ****e through and through, you're intellectually above the 'Hull is a dump', and 'Hull people are thick chavs' stereotypes.
