500 posts up on a thread is quite healthy seeing as we have another one of those ****ty international weekends approaching!
There's only two posters on this board that are members of the CTWD campaign, myself and Obi and I don't believe either of us have said anything stomach turning.
Makes me wonder if AA has got some Far east investor (Chinese mega billionaire or investment company) that will make him look like Bill Gates's paperboy, lined up to invest a **** load of money into the club as soon as the name change goes through...Hmmmhhhhhh I wish..
Never intended to post again mate, but find the debate enthralling to observe as an avid football supporter and traditionalist.
However, I can't let sheer stupidity, like that, pass without comment.

You could have done, but your worth would have shrunk immeasurably![]()

The other worrying thing for me is who does repairs on the stadium now that it is getting on in age?
The council don't seem to have a pot to piss in and I don't think Allam will do it out of spite, anyone know who is responsible?
A lengthy interview (18 mins) with Allam here, not sure if this has been posted yet?

Why is the choice of not buying a season pass fair when it didn't have to come to this if he didn't meddle in things he has no knowledge of like the history of the club?.To be fair, Allam is going to give all the campaigners the opportunity to vote with their feet next season where they can refuse to buy a hull tigers season pass.
For me the most important part of the 18 minute interview was the confirmation that we are going to spend at least 5 million on a new striker in January.
Happy days.
His tactic is clear. His real research has shown the campaign group to be between 200 to 500.
So for this minority of customer, he is happy for them to **** off.
This level of anti-protest will not hurt the company financially in the bigger picture.

I thought the Humberside and ITV interviews were bad but the 5 Live one was much worse. I've said it before but how can anyone take him seriously. Who would want to invest in this club with him in charge. It is a good job Steve Bruce is mild mannered because I bet he has to bite his tongue sometimes. So he will give us a chance to vote by not buying a season pass. He knows full well that we all love the football, that is why we go so he has got us over a barrel. I am very very tempted not to renew my season pass but like I said I want to support the team. When we have shirts saying Hull Tigers will you all rush to buy them because he will not get a penny from me and this is the way we can make a protest. No to Hull Tigers keep on producing stuff for people to buy as an alternative. Wouldn't put it past him to ban anyone from wearing this stuff either. The sheer arrogance of the man. The few people on here defending him because he put money into the club ought to be ashamed of themselves. He is treating everyone with utter contempt. As for doing good works in Hull, its easy to throw your money around when you are rich to try and buy popularity. Can't you see he does it to feed his ego, nothing more than that. As for being a Doctor. I work with Doctors every day and I would not compare him to them at all.
Correction....he is treating a couple of hundred big gobs with contempt. It's an interesting tactic. I.e. For him to appeal for the support of the silent majority to get the protest group to shut up .
