    There was a well known hooligan from the past wearing a high viz jacket who was involved in trying to grab the banner off non-hooligan fans last week.

    Can you prove you weren't a hooligan?

    The money we get from TV is a lot, plus the prize money, but we still have to pay wages and, hopefully, buy new players as well as other running costs and deductables.

    Money will come from:

    Competitions (Cup runs, final prize money)
    TV Rights
    Ticket/Season Pass sales
    Merchandise
    Concessions
    Advertising
    Investment

    The latter of these is what AA is trying to sort out, but I can't see it being anybody local or even English. If he's going to sell us it'll be at the end of the season, if we stay up. Without outside investment, we aren't going to be sustainable for a while. An expanded stadium would help in the long term, but only if the demand for tickets goes up and most of the category B and C games aren't selling out.

    According to Late Night Bus the 'hooligans' from the 70s and 80s are pro-name change and might be considering launching brutal attackings against the anti-name change group

    Thats good Tim so hooligans are quite well known then in Hull. So when theres a list they will be easily identifiable. Dont you think there needs to be transparency n the CTWD group?

    I'm saying this to help the group.

    Not only that but him and everyone on his row all refused to sing at the Liverpool game in protest of the protests. Anyone notice?

    You are so ****ing jealous of CTWD.

    Why not swallow your pride, admit you've been a prick, and join?

    I would have mate if I had dared to look.

    I'm in fear of those rule upholding thugs; those establishment enforcing corps.

    Does CTWD have the support of the Gooligans?

    Aye keep tap dancing Obi.

    Produce a list of members, if theres any dodgy ones on there reimburse them. Otherwise your giving credence to Mr Allams "hooligans" quote.

    Allam's quotes hold no credence at all, the bloke's just making himself look ridiculous.

    Who would of thought yourself,

    " THey need to go, get rid of the cancer asap even if it means struggling next year"

    "I don't think the Allams will be seen as our saviour for much longer if they keep this attitude up. I will certainly be the first one to say "told you so" if it all goes pear shaped"

    "I honestly don't know if I want such knee-jerk reacting, football noobies deciding our future"

    "but I'm sick of hearing "they saved us"


    Tickler,

    "Allams say they saved Hull City as a gift for the city of Hull. Very nice. So how about now doing the next best thing then by handing it over to us and leaving whilst they can ?

    "Now Sadly on the Allams(they have betrayed our trust)"

    "Who on earth would want to come to Hull City now ? All the good work of the season gone in less than 2 days"

    & Craig

    "So it looks like our saviours have revealed their true colours. They wanted the club so they could get the ground and the land around it on the cheap.
    Now they can't they've got no interest in spending a bean and they want out"


    have taken the plunge & finally signed up to CTWD, glad you're aboard.

    Producing a list of members would contravene the Data Protection Act. Anyone convicted of hooligan activity would have been punished by the judicial system and therefore no longer a hooligan, anyone not convicted is innocent. So below is the list of hooligans you requested.

    Making a member's list public, I think, would be against certain laws.

    Sorry but they do. Your taking pot shots all the time at him, he makes it easy admittedly. But sometime soon CTWD have to open up and when they do he may attack. Having hooligans ex/current in the group weakens it. The total numbers strenghen/weaken it too depending on the number.

    We're not taking pot-shots at him all the time, we've shown him far more respect than he's shown us.

    He offered a referendum on the name change to all season ticket holders, he's now reneged on that, but had he not, I suspect he wouldn't have done a background check on everyone who voted.

    Have you read Jeff Winter's book? He talks of his days on the terrace and they let him officiate, I'm sure lesser mortals are allowed to spectate and support these days.

    You've picked a piss poor point to argue to be fair. <ok>
