    Appologies in advance Party!!!

    I think most are happy with our current success, best ever League season, best cup run, potential cup final, potential European campaign ahead - all achieved as Hull City AFC.

    AA & now EA have at no point offered reasonable evidence that their plan will succeed. They have lied, threatened & misled the media & more importantly the supporters.

    The club will break even this year & be in profit next year, again achieved as Hull City AFC, confirmed by EA in their joint interview on Sky. If the club continues to succeed the club will continue to be in profit. We have a wage bill that is less than 30% of our income, confirmed by EA in his open letter. This puts the club in an extremely comfortable position, a position achieved as Hull City AFC.

    We need new sponsorship next season to replace existing deals that are ending. These will be better deals than we have had previously because Hull City AFC have been successful.

    Why would any business performing at a 110 year peak, receiving free international exposure along with a massive increase in income coupled with a healthy wage/income ratio, re-brand itself? The answer in our case is simple - The owner is blinkered by his hatred of HCC, he is prepared to risk the continued success of the club & the club's historic name in an endeavour to piss them off. The irony is HCC don't give a **** & the ones who do give a **** he casts aside without thought.

    It's time he apologised for this whole episode, it doesn't mean he's wrong, it does mean he'd be showing that he values the relationship the club has with the supporters higher than his ego.

    Sorry to be a bore, but the point has been made about threads drifting off topic.

    So, if you butter two pieces of bread and put them together with bacon in between, you have a sandwich. If you cut it in half, do you have two sandwiches or two halves of a sandwich?

    Opinions differ, but clearly the correct answer is you have two halves of one sandwich.

    Suitedandbooted, that is all very well for the 50 year old chaps (which I suspect you are one of), when football on telly was rare, people knew their neighbours and each street had a resident into racing pigeons and each club had its own gang of hooligans. But time has moved on, young boys can now sit in the bedrooms watching the wholesome pleasures of the PL each week, instead of going down nearest field to neck 3 litres of cider or the nearest railway bridge to sniff glue, to get their fix of excitement. And why should we not accept with open arms young fans who will grow up and produce more sproglets to support the tigers, it is an international market now in everything so let us embrace every year we are in the PL as some young fans (just to be different) will choose us to support when that time in life comes - to choose your club

    If that is true then the answers to your questions are, it is two halves of a sandwich and still a sandwich if one slice is folded over. I believe if you had cut that one piece with a knife then it would have been two halves. Happy to help. <ok>

    When I first moved to our capital as a 21 year old I turned a few heads when asking for a "sausage sambo" in the Red Lion, Colliers Wood. Think I got away with it, I survived.

    When I moved to London and first went into a chippy(Finsbury Park), I ordered pattie and chips and a breadcake. I got a Jamaican patty and chips and they told me there was a bakery up the street for cakes.

    Used to love the Jamaican patties & saveloys, we don't get them in chippys over here.

    I was the same with breadcakes, the Mrs still gives me funny looks & tells me they're rolls. Thick bint.
