Why isnt this fans funding ticket funding ****storm being picked up by the media? This should be a national story, never mind local one yet nobody will touch it. Werent the rules on this and why it was being given to clubs really ****ing clear? I'm actually starting to hate my own football club. Forget David Lloyd, The Sheffield Mafia, Duffen's financial tomfoolery or Fish Out, these past few weeks are the lowest point of my football fan career. Allam is the worst owner in our history and probably anyone else's history.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's being spent on a large grass carpet, with the "away" aspect being covered by getting multiple sports teams/groups "away" from the Airco arena.
Technically, it's not, it's to encourage more away fans to games and clubs can either use it to encourage their own fans to travel to away games, or to get more away fans to travel to their home games. Though if you're a club that's just pissed off the majority of your fans, it's probably a good idea to concentrate on giving them the benefit.
I didn't understand all that stuff about Trip Advisor and having looked today on Trip Advisor, I understand it even less.
Has any other club not used money for it's own fans and instead spent it on subsiding opposition fans to visit their ground? Weird isnt it, most clubs prefer it if they have overwhelming support in the stadium for their team rather than the opposition....
None. The only benefit we've seen from the ASI money so far is discounted travel to Arsenal, but we didn't actually tell anyone we'd discounted it. I'm sure something will be done for Palace or Spurs(possibly both), but it's still too little too late.
He's probably trying to buy away fans into the hull tigers theory, hoping they'll jump on board with him and convert into home fans. Have you been in our away end recently? There's Hull Tigers propaganda all over.
I've never been in our away end and I havent set foot in our stadium this season. That's the first time since the age of 6 that I've been able to say that. Thanks Allam.
I haven't been in this season but I was last season for the Liverpool game, and everywhere was covered with Hull Tigers stuff. Was more like a home end than the home end.
It probably relates to this. http://www.not606.com/threads/hull-city-top-of-the-league.292695/ Putting myself in the shoes of a megalomaniac who is working in the best interests of the shareholders, it makes sense. Income generated from extra City fans travelling away? - £Nil. Income generated from extra away fans travelling to the KC? £000s. Kerching! Potential hidden ignored costs from reducing team's performance at away games due to lack of support and increasing opposition team's performance at home games due to extra support? £70m. Chance of getting "lost" home supporters to come back post-relegation under your watch? Negligible. Business value tends towards zero. Verdict? Sell now for maximum return before you lose your shirt and you leave behind a liquidated football team (much as you effectively found it).
We get money from the away fans coming to us and from home fans travelling away, the take is split, something I've only just discovered.
Aye gotta keep on top of them on here minutes can turn into days months and years before you know it...
