    Again, true enough.

    In an ideal world, not a single fan would turn up, but that's simply not going to happen. So, the question is, if some are going to turn up, how best do we make a stand?

    Actually, it could only happen with the support of the Club but we should accept ONE ticket and give it to the lady City fan that lives in sight of Huddersfields ground. A coach and Police escort just for her and then her laying a banner explaining it for the Sky viewers would highlight the stupidity and offensive nature within WYP

    See, that attitude right there, is ****ing stupid and is a bigger problem to our club than 1 game being ****ed around by WYP.

    Those TT types as you put it, are the ones that go to every away game. Every one. And home games. They're not hard core supporters if you mean they dont get pissed up, shout abuse at everyone and act like total ****s.

    Scab? **** me. I honestly have no words for someone using that word in connection with this. Wait I do. Moron.

    By taking the whole allocation, not causing any trouble at all, and holding up posters declaring what we think of WYP for Sky TV viewers to see and singing songs about it. That's if we can get past DMD and his flying pickets.

    They're NOT supporting the team. They're selling it and their fellow fans down the river.

    As for 'proper' fans, it's you that needs to wind your neck in. The vociferous support is rarely on Tiger Travel, so the sound of support will be virtually non-existant anyway.

    BUT, as Lambo says, it looks like we've got some self-centred, short sighted fans and a club that doesn't want to back us. So i guess any action will have to have these types in mind.

    Personally, I'm wondering if I want to bother being a part of football at all.

    Sorry I don't think I am getting my point across. I agree I am full support of a total boycott. I just don't believe it will happen. We will all be smugly thinking it's going to happen and then I will turn the television on and there will be 400 fans there...

    The best solution for me would be literally zero fans in the away end and just a huge banner in our place:

    'Supporters Not Customers'

    Happy Clapper, you're making out it's about football and football alone. It's not it's about having freedoms you're entitled to taken away from you- freedom of movement etc.

    Football supporters have been shat on for a while now- prices, tv matches & daft kick off times. Something needs to change and only the supporters can bring about this because the authorities in the game don't care.

    They're basically ****ting on us because they have a hunch something will kick off. Nowt in which they say supports this.

    The fundamental issue was always the club not making a stand.

    Either the club rejected the tickets, or some people were always going to go, for me that's the issue. How do we make a stand?

    Is it better to have a **** turnout, or is it better to fill the place with 1,700 fans dressed as coppers, holding up signs saying 'I work for WYP and I have the brain of a goldfish'?

    I know sometimes it feels like hull is stuck in the 80s but this is taking the piss!

    You can spit your dummy out but it won't change jack ****. Yes it's annoying and yes there's no real justification but it's hardly the biggest ball ache ever. 'It's the principal' and arguing that a breach of civil liberties is the last bastion of the desperate. All we need now is someone arguing a breach of human rights and we've got the loony lefties arguments covered once and for all!

    Completely respect people's decision not to to go but slagging off those that go is laughable.

    You're trying to have an argument and I agree with you! What I mean is, there is no point perusing a boycott if the club do not support it.

    The reason for this is because if we try and do it without the support of the club, more fans will bottle it and go and this is out of our control.

    This will mean that they attemped boycott will have been a waste of time because too many fans will go for sky to notice one way or the other.

    Therefore it would be a shame for anyone who had wanted to go but had boycotted it in support of a total boycott to make a statement, because that statement will not have been made...


    Am I coming through yet??? Am I having a stroke? I am making sense yes?

    The majority of those who use it are octogenarians who couldn't give a **** about these travel restrictions, because they know they'll be treated perfectly well on account of being old bats and who don't give a **** if they and their equally ****ish husbands are the only people there, provided they get out of the house for a bit of fresh air.

    I should know: I use Tiger Travel for 9 out of 10 of my away days

    A tad harsh to jump to conclusions about certain fans who may be attending. I'm pretty sure every single City fan is fully behind expressing their displeasure at the WYP's actions.

    Some fans will go regardless though as they're taking kids, or they're just wanting to attend a Hull City game. There will be a stand against them, and WYP won't have heard the end of it for a long, long time. There may be only around 50 fans in attendance or whatever, but it doesn't mean they're not behind the cause.

    You can't simply sway someone to not going or else we're almost as bad as the WYP, restricting certain freedoms.

    I won't be going, but I know people who will. My neighbours (70 and 73 years old) has only missed 3 games in the last 20 years and that's only because of family issues, travel problems, that sort of malarkey. They're going, but they're also sending countless complaints into whoever is affiliated with the WYP. Are they villains now?

    I would like to see someone question their support of the Club.

    Actually a bloke on coach 2( Tiger travel) on Saturday had a comber over very much like Arthur Scargill's.

    Nice bloke but awful barnet.

    Is a comber over acceptable these days?

    Dutch?

    Is it?

    I don't have a dummy to spit out, and luckily enough people have a bit more about them than to just blub 'we can do jack ****'. That's the attitude that leaves people thinking they can **** on football fans.

    Let's face it, you're claiming to be going in corporate or the home end. I what you're saying is actually true, In what way are you supporting the club? They won't know you're there and won't get your money.

    I don't think City should refuse the tickets as it could create a precedent which may provoke a fine or at least cause bad-blood between the two clubs and give HCAFC a bad reputation.
    The onus is on the fans to not buy them and that means some form of organisation. Maybe the supporters club could advise members to watch it on the box and people on here who use other messageboards could spread the word.

    Dutch, you're posts are usually quite level headed but you must see the irony of your post, surely?

    Everyone needs to put their handbags down, have a drink and chill out. It's WYP that the beef is with. It's up to individuals how they voice it, whether that's by not going to the game (which is what they want), by turning up and behaving themselves or some other manner.
