if you read the article, its Ehabs quotes and he's talking sense the only people who'll destroy this club are CTWD!!!
Do you honestly mean that? I dont think CTWD got us £70m in debt. I didnt see quotes from CTWD saying they wish fellow fans were dead. Sometimes there is such a chasm between me and my fellow fan and it actually hurts me that we support the same club.
Or instead, maybe not go an buy 2 strikers both at prices you can't afford, when you only needed one. Good starting place, minimise expenditure.
Increasing season tickets by 50% would increase revenue by about £2.5 million (assuming sales didn't drop because of the increase). Not very much in the scheme of things.
"they can die when they want" It was a play on words FFS, the language barrier probably didnt help as he isn't the most fluent!
He also needs to replace the revenue lost due to people not going in December because their wives won't let them.
Out of curiosity, how many free games do you get with a pass these days? Not had one for a couple of years but in League 2 is was about 9 free games from memory.
& February, March, April & probably May for exactly the reason you state, although I don't think this is the reason Happy doesn't go to games in December.
The simple fact of it, Sydney, is that many people will simply not be able to afford 50% extra. Your average fan, like me, is not rich. Things are tight month to month, many would have to give it up. Now, maybe he'd get enough to stay and pay extra to make a bit of profit, or keep it on a similar level, but many people would have to stop going due to cost. It would be too much for me, for example. The attendances would be much lower. It's another threat, basically, because he can't get his way. He still hasn't demonstrated that the name change will bring in extra revenue, so saying this is an alternative to that lost revenue makes no sense. Just threats.
It depends on whether the shirt sponsors were lined up, with contracts signed, well before the application for Hull Tigers by a local football team went into the local FA. If they were then the sponsorship isn't dependent upon the name change and there is no chance of them pulling out, unless we get releagted. A deal with Hull City Council, expansion of the ground with more executive boxes would have provided additional income for the club. However, he's fallen out with the Council and doesn't need their money as he said goodbye to the rental income he got from their offices at the KC and the library.
If he imposed a moratorium on the interest on the debt owed to Allamhouse (ie make it interest free), he could save £3-4m per season.
A little twisting of reality there, Allam didn't really wave goodbye to the council offices at the KC, the council did it of their own accord. Besides the money from that went into the SMC, so would have had bugger all to do with the situation at City.
Maybe floating the club on the stock market would be a way of generating more income. How about the club being owned 60% by fans & 40% by local businesses? How about approaching local businessmen for investment? Ian Richardson has shown a previous interest in investing in the club. There must be others. Adam Pearson was allegedly willing to invest, the council were prepared to discuss a joint venture to develop the ground & surrounding area. Is it that all these areas have been explored already & people are not at ease getting involved with a mad old fool.
Do you actually believe that? It's obvious who pulls the strings. Yes the formation of a group who are intent on working with AA to come up with a solution. They not bad mouth him, or made idle threats. CTWD have zero power at the club so please explain how they could destroy it?
Hmm. Whatever happened to "a gift to the city of Hull"? Can I charge interest on all the birthday and Christmas pressies I've bought for people over the years?
That's the excuse used every time he gets something wrong and if anyone thinks he has a language barrier after living here for 50 ****ing years or whatever it is then then theyre seriously deluded.
I would if I kept saying "I'd giving a gift to the city of Hull". How many times have people given you a gift and then charged interest on it? It cannot be both - he's either given a gift or he's provided a business loan on which interest is being charged. Either is fine, he just needs to be honest about what it is instead of continually lying. Just seen this, we made precisely the same point.
