There's absolutely no chance CTWD had any influence on his decision, he has millions invested in this business and would not allow a small group of fans with no stake in the club to sway his opinion. He is simply creating two figure heads of blame in CTWD and the FA to deflect any criticism from himself.
The council are to blame why would they reject development around the stadium absolutely embarrassing.
No need to boo or whistle. It's a single issue that CTWD** have and most of their membership would tell you 2 things 1) They wish there was no need for CTWD to even exist 2) They are not anti Allam and wanting him out. They really need to take little or no action after yesterday as, essentially, nothing has changed. Back the team and the manager on the pitch because it's a winnable game on Monday and we need the points - no distractions required. Keep it civil. **I'm not a member of CTWD
Assem Allam said the Council offered him a joint venture to develop the stadium and land and he refused. Are you saying he's not telling the truth?
If there were any protests planned they need to be seen by Allam, the cameras etc. If you don't like that then i'm sorry for you.
I am not a member of CTWD ,please do not blame them for actions or views that supporters such as I have ,I believe that its the minority of opposition that are members ,and that there is a majority out of the group that are also against it, However the only real way to know the fans feeling would have been a proper ballot, with the correct questions and worded in a fair way .
Good advice and so far he has acted wisely - walking a narrow path between supporters and the Allams.
Excellent post. Why would it? No one at games has shown any support for a name change and that won't start now. It's limited to a few Internet and phone-in numpties. Spot on.
There are a fair few pro name changers (or non plussed fans) who sit near me and sing at 19.04. Does everybody actually understand what the song represents, or do people just join in because it's a City song? Suppose it doesn't matter as the exposure is good all the same, but the underlying message of the chant surely needs to be understood by those singing it?
I am not in CTWD ..but I song the song loud and proud because it's a city song and always has been I DO NOT BLAME them for anything because in my opinion the fa said no and would have said no even if they had not existed The silent majority don't exist . No one would rather we where called Hull Tigers then HULL CITY when given a straight foward question . Assem Allam is kicking ALL supporters in the teeth INCLUDING those who want him to stay by saying I will leave if I don't get my own way Where is his loyalty in that ? He should have accepted the NO decision and stayed and found another way to raise money after all the name change would have only been worth 1 bloody million a year .
Many of us sing CTID as it is a song we have used home and away for many years. Sadly - as we retain this tradition it seems we have jettisoned another, even longer standing chant /song, - that of "The Tigers!"
