Whichever side of the debate you are on, this is very funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW067e9iFMU . Apologies if posted before and for the pro people just bear with it. The Danny Graham bit hit the spot for me.
Well you posted that you go to see good football, not a club with a particular name. If so, you're missing out by watching City.
I support Hull City AFC; when possible I travel a round trip of about 270 miles for a home game - or I did. The football is inconsistent (as is most) so no guarantees on quality. To do that regularly, when similar, or better, is available closer and cheaper, no driving so a drink with mates possible, that has to be a reason and that is my lifelong association with the club and that club is Hull City AFC, not Hull Tigers. That's the reason why I believe the name is more important that you believe it to be; but you are a loud-mouthed gobshite who thinks anyone who doesn't share your opinion are 'real shallow over reacting pant wetting types'.
You're not that thick PLT. You know that's not what I was saying. I thought it'd be obvious I was on about going to watch our team, as we're all hull fans posting on a hull forum. Goes without saying really. I didn't say that anyway, I said I go to watch football, preferably good, not to look at a name on a shirt. Which in no way translates to "you go to see good football, not a club with a particular name. If so, you're missing out by watching City." so I'm not really sure where you got that idea from anyway.
Not people who don't share my opinion, but people who throw their toys out the pram and punish themselves are. If you enjoy going to watch the tigers, whether it's the football on display or everything else that comes with the match day experience that takes your fancy, why would you allow yourself to be bullied away from something you love by the big bully and hand him the victory he wants on a plate? Be the bigger man, Allams toys have been out of the pram numerous times and he gets (rightly) heavily criticised every time. You lose all credibility by then going on to do the same thing yourself. We've had many disagreements in the past Fez, and whether I've agreed or disagreed with you about something, I've always respected you as a man of great integrity who's not to be budged easily. Maybe I've been wrong about you all along....
I spotted that and have since found this comment on the proposal/situation: http://thepremierleagueowl.com/querying-greg-dykes-approach-to-the-hull-city-situation/
He hasn't bullied me into doing anything, it's 100% my decision. I do go to other football; I get to other PL games with business friends, I am fortunate to have been invited to our game with ManU, it was not so long ago I did the ManU vs Everton game, complete with barge trip and piss- up after. I sometimes go to the SOL, Sid James and the Riverside, even Gateshead (did you ever check out their history on Wiki?). Then of course there are Northern League and Sunday League games. All not every week but I can dodge about and enjoy the variety and the different craic. What Allam has done for me is make me realise that once the heritage of my club is ****ed with, it becomes no more than all of those others to me; the exception being the owner, who is not a man I would willingly patronize with my custom. His actions have made me a 'neutral', someone who likes football as a form of entertainment, but does not wish to caught up in his lies and deceit and be used like some tailors dummy. So, like I said, I have considered my reasons, I have made a deliberate personal choice (not one I foist on anyone else) and I am prepared to discuss it if it helps others find their choice; the discussion might even temper mine, but I doubt it. My toys are all in my pram, they simply go to different playgrounds. The way top-flight football is going, I can see the day when it will all be local lower league playgrounds, because it goes from bad to worse at the top - there's very little pleasure, just chasing what exactly? Sad, but true for me and many others I know in football.
as an educated guess, she's probably Joanna from Hatfield.. although Jayne Mansfield never resided in the Midlands which could confuse the masses..
Maybe you are Denis Durham, Eddie Blackburn, Nicky Featherstone, Ryan France, Davy Jordan, Steve Melton( this would be very apt!) Ben Morley, Steve S(Wales)or Ronald Haworth? I wonder who these chaps played for?
Who the hell really cares where she's from.She clearly gives a **** about Hull City.A **** that some people obviously are not that bothered about.They seem to just want to watch a team at the top level,Hull City,Hull Tigers,it really does not matter as long as they get to see Stevie G or Bites yer arm Suarez in the flesh,etc,etc...... I could go on and on about the premier league/sky sports fetishism but it really is lost on the addicts. but sorry Joanna,every time you post I do tend to think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ9JqZor1gQ it's nothing personal edit.really bad grammar
