A few observations: The HCC is an elected body, the tide will turn there, sooner or later. Allam is granted far too much credit for our success. That is down to Steve Bruce - Allam has given Bruce the dollar, Bruce wants more in the summer and, perhaps, a new contract. Ehab and this Egyptian father thing is bollocks. Ehab has been given no real power, he lives his own life and cannot stop his dad being a Pratt. But is his dad being a Pratt a problem from his/their p pint of view? Are the shop, vendors, sponsors all just a bit low-key for Allam - does he have bigger things bubbling for his own interests? Why does everyone think a very intelligent, savvy man an idiot? Carvers was great, it's now ****e; not just quality but presentation in a city centre venue - unbelievably bad. The Deep has no idea how to really put it on for the punters - the fish have! I love the thought of a museum in the Carlton - the thought maintains my belief that idiots can co-exist with normal people and not realise they are different. Bus drivers really should realise that we decent, friendly folk allow them to pull out and make their own way unopposed; that can change should we have any repetition of the earlier ****e. Roll on Southampton; we passed the Sunderland test with flying colours and this is a definite step-up, a very decent team - but we can and we will. Don't underestimate Assem Allam, he's nobodies fool, he just thinks we are.
I'm not sure what you're getting at really. Half n half is rightly vilified by you, but you suggest going equally tacky cheap plastic and having merch printed with Hull 3 - 1 Liverpool? Maybe signed photos and stuff like that, MoM or goalscorers shirts they wore signed or whatever, but having tops like that printed for a league match is just tacky in my opinion. If it was an FA cup final or something, fair enough (same with half n half scarves, acceptable memorabilia for occasions like cup finals but nowhere else).
and what better way to do it by alienating a sizable portion of his customers and reducing the club shop to a shell! hurrah!
Wrong in that the council are already chasing AA to get a development on the KC site, but he's not interested. Not an opinion, simply a fact.
the influx of pawn shops on the high street matches the rise in bookies . They go hand in hand together. Gambling may be fun if you can afford to lose , but merely looking at the people who walk into these places as i walk by doesnt suggest the place is filled with winners. I would say the
Most of the bookies who are shirt sponsors are online, they are appealing to market to haven't traditionally gone anywhere near a bookies.
