Silent majority finding their voice?

[Pennine Tiger]

This is very true, CTWD have conducted themselves well throughout. Unfortunately some of its members/supporters have not. People on here complaining about fans turning on each other in the stadium last night yet it has been acceptable to attack anyone on here for having a different view for the last 6 months.

What you have said might well be true, but remember the old saying about washing your dirty laundry in public...there's a big difference between a world-wide audience watching the game last night and our forum on Not 606. Fans around the world have now seen the same team's fans booing each other.

 

[tigermaul]

But can we say "Tigers" anymore? I agree with CTWD when they say we have sung "City till I die" for years both home and away. However, we have also sung / chanted "The Tigers" for even longer. My question for CTWD would be this; Why do we hardly ever now chant / sing "The Tigers"? Do we think that by doing so we would be seen as backing Mr Allam's plan to change the clubs name? "The Tigers" remains our nickname and it is a crying shame that we no longer vocally back the club with this traditional chant.
As for the booing last night it was clearly just at the 19:04 point (there was no booing for example when "she'll be wearing black and amber" was sung, which continues with "I love City till I die") and maybe some fans are fed up with the predictability of it all - but you would have to ask those who booed as to why they did it. Maybe CTWD need a new strategy?

The reason it's a crying shame is that Allam is destroying TWO names with his madcap idea. Our nickname -- The Tigers -- almost always with the definite article, AND the name Hull City. By trying to amalgamate the two, he in effect destroys both. It's very sad, as are all the so-called fans who are willing to wave the white flag Chamberlain-style in the face of bully boy tactics.

 

[Charon]

the scum that booed last night are actually booing Hull City - if they want to show appreciation for the owner then they should sing his name or something but booing the club name is a disgrace unheard of in football - certainly not supporters of Hull City

There was actually very clear booing in earlier chants of CTID around me, AND booing during "she'll be wearing black and amber".

I was in the South East, and one block over there were arguments being shouted between people. Not only booing at the chants, but verbal abuse towards individuals who stood up and chanted.

I've always said CTWD need to be anti-Allam, because it is going to have to end up that way in the end. They have been far too supportive of Allam for my liking, which is why I wouldn't count myself as part of CTWD. Allam is playing divide and rule, putting fans against fans, which allows him to go along with whatever he wants to do. As long as CTWD try to appease Allam and play the friendly 'nicely nicely' game, then Allam will just keep going further and further. It's gone too far already, stop it now, before we are too far down the road.

If the name changes it will be a very long time before it ever changes back regardless of whether the decrepit senile old **** does the right thing and ****s off or not.

He'll sell the licences for the brand and that will be that.

You really need to replace that crystal ball Bob, it's talking pure bollocks again

 

[look_back_in_amber]

The Tribunal will not overturn the decision unless the Allams can show that the FA acted illegally, which they haven't. There will be no name change. Assem Allam is selling because he has run out of money, there will be no further investment because he hasn't got the cash.

Rather than have a civil war amongst the supporters wouldn't it be better to step back and look at ways of promoting Hull City to get the money we need to keep the Allams as owners and keep our name. Which is what the majority want.

A civil war will eventually affect the performances on the pitch, especially if it consists of constant booing and jeering from both sides.

It would be far better Obi but so far I haven't seen any of that just fractious eejuts calling AA the most disrespectful names on a public forum. I'm obviously not saying that AA is innocent in all of this, he's said things that are clearly wrong but what we heard last night, the booing, and it was loud in the East Stand, I feel is only the beginning.

A solution needs to be found, and quickly, otherwise it could all rapidly turn to ****. Surely SB can only take so much of all this bollocks, and if he goes we are left hoping that a new man would gel with our players, although many would undoubtedly want to follow him anyway as is usually the case when a manager leaves.

I agree what happened last night is not good for anyone. The question now is how we move on from it, i do not want to see it repeated at our next home game.

Unfortunately I suspect it will be if CTWD continue to target 19:04 on the clock with the same song :C. Maybe a chorus of "Everywhere we go..." could ring around the ground instead?

 

[Party Hull!]

I'm glad they booed actually.

Until last night they were like the Taliban - the enemy you couldn't see.

Hull City supporters referring to one another as enemies hardly helps the situation does it? Supporters may be pro or anti name change and pro or anti the owner but at when all is said and done we surely all have the best interests of the club at heart. Fighting and vitriol among ourselves can only damage the club and have a potentially detrimental effect on the pitch as well as off it.

Correct, well said.

Hull city fans aren't referring to each other as enemies.

Hull City fans are referring to premier league whores as enemies. We see the threat the infection poses.

So what exactly is booing your own fans then ? That is on a different level

You seem to be under the impression that anyone who booed last night - and by the sound of it they weren't a small number and they were in 3 stands of the ground - are either relatively new fans or are only interested in the PL. I'm not convinced by that and I think even some who are in agreement with CTWD and everything they stand for are now getting fed up of the predictability of 19:04. To keep ahead in the moral argument - which is where they have been up until now - and to retain the goodwill of the majority of fans, maybe CTWD need a new strategy. Hopefully they will keep trying to unite supporters even as our owners tactics may cause divisions.

 

[TheCasual]

Anyone who boos there own fans like last night is a parasite.

Song another song, sing a pro Allam song, but is wrong on so many levels.

Since the so-called silent majority clearly have not organised themselves into a campaign group as CTWD have, I suspect it is the only way they will make their feelings known - but you would have to ask those who booed why they did so. Maybe if they kept silent, we would all think there was no silent majority - as I have thought until last night. It wasn't pleasant and it can't help anyone to have open division on the terraces, but I suspect if CTWD continue to use 19:04 what we heard last night will be heard at subsequent home games

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

Its nothing new. The Action Group were ridiculed and our own supporters tried to stop the coffin march. That was at a time when the club were a shambles and in free fall. Thousands had simply stopped attending matches and the few that remained loyal and tried to do something to stop the club rot were physically attacked by the remaining few who thought the Action Group were responsible for the club's demise!
This split needs sorting quickly because if it is allowed to fester it will ruin the season. It wont take much for everything to go pear shaped. There are enough **** stirrers out there praying that everything that is Hull City goes tits up and they will capitalise on this split.
It's hard enough at this level to survive without a civil war breaking out amongst our own fans.

You can tell the Taliban a mile off.

They've all got beards and have a penchant for a Kalashnikov.

Under slung is the seasons fashion.

Just keep your eye out for anyone fitting that description and you won't go far wrong.
