I'm sorry if my posts offend your rather sensitive disposition. However, I'm not sure there's much need for personal insults. Just looking at your username...you might be a little shocked to think I know you. I thought we got on alright.
Why would I be shocked?
If you know me as you say you do then you would know that I call a spade a spade. A few of your posts are as described.
 
As we don't want to be seen as a set of post-Premier League newbies, can I suggest the following in respect of wearing replica shirts.

1. Only males under 16 yrs of age can wear a recently produced replica shirt.
2. Females, whilst not encouraged to attend (but might be valuable for lifts and going to the bar) CAN wear replica shirts.
2a. Females who choose to wear a replica shirt must be "healthy weight" on the BMI index. See NHS weight chart for clarification.
3. Replica shirts of a more vintage era may be worn by all*. I would suggest that the Avec shirt from 2000/01 season (and earlier) will be fine.
3a. *BMI index rules apply to all. You know who you are.
4. Any replica shirt swapping with supporters of K.S.C. Lokeren should not be tolerated under any circumstances. Quite frankly, it's childish.
5. Any replica shirts that can satisfy the above must not have personal surnames on the back. It's a little needy and it doesn't mean you are a professional footballer.

I am sure that this useful and easy guide to replica shirt wearing on Thursday will be of value to all. Please feel free to print off and give to those who don't have access to the internet. For example, people from Goole.

See you all there.

No male over 40 should be seen dead in a replica shirt, of any club.
FA Cup Finals being the one exception to the rule.
I don't mind seeing the odd female at City games. But there should be a rule against them ordering latte coffee's and fancy time consuming drinks at the bar on a match day.
It is essential and should be club policy that the club captain has a pennant to hand over to the opposing team captain in all competitive cup games.
It should also not need to be said that everyone with a club flag or banner should make sure they get all the prime positions to display them in the ground and outside various bars and in picturesque foreign squares.
And we stand proud and loud in support of Hull City AFC.

It's good to see a bit of order restored to this matter. Well done busdriver.

Might I also add that if the local toughs turn up...then we should not be Italian about it and stand our ground. One must not leave their flag behind. It might call for a new etiquette post in fairness.
 
I think replica shirts on ferries are a major no-no.

Bit like trainspotters who wear trainspotting t shirts or baseball caps to advertise their 'interest'.

Plus Humberside Police may showboat given the chance.

I think a ferry wearing a football shirt would be a sight to behold Stuart.

Be aware its a foreign hoolie thing to pinch other clubs flags...mostly while there not looking and are to busy in the bar getting pissed !
