    So am I allowed to hold up the Joyce banner or not? I don't want to be a scab. We should've just made a big Stevie G flag...

    Get it waved. Apart from a few on here, the flags went down well. You should never be ashamed to show your support for a Hull City legend.

    I don't feel conned. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and was wrong to do so. I disagreed with giving him the KC at the time and opposed the name change. Giving him the benefit of the doubt didn't stop me from opposing what he was doing.

    Mauled's designs look good on the TV, I think that is a plus for which he deserves a lot of credit. As I've said I'm not bothered if they don't say City on them. Assem Allam can claim what he likes but a large number of people have seen through him and are calling for him to go. The way he has treated the community of Hull has shown him in his true light. He and his son do what is moral and right for them. A few flags of City legends isn't going to change that. This is the *** end of his time at City and it could be all over by the end of May if he's a man of his word.

    I think the ASI money will be swept under the carpet by the Premier league if he sells us soon. An example of practical politics.

    I have no problem with people having their own views and defending them. I'm not slow at pushing my views down other people's throats. What's good for the gander....

    Assem Allam is leaving a legacy of bitterness, with fan against fan, which will take a long time to heel. When I said Assem Allam may have won, this is one of the things I meant. We are arguing amongst ourselves about a set of flags celebrating some of our legends simply because it doesn't say City on them. They are our legends, they are our flags, this is our club. He can claim what he wants but he's already lost thousands of people who gave him the benefit of the doubt. He'll never reclaim them because he'll never apologise to our football club or the community for what he's done.

    According to the club, the few quid spent on the flags doesn't come out of the ASI fund, but I don't actually see anything wrong if it had been.

    The fund is to improve the fan experience, the flags seemed to do that.

    So...Steve Bruce".believes Premier League officials need to act to curb ticket prices and make football more affordable." Because
    “I know how difficult it is for people here at our club to find the money to bring their two kids to a football match and we have to make sure with all the money washing around we give something back to the fans."

    If only there was some type of fund that clubs could agree to use to reduce the price of away tickets !?

    Doesn't seem to fit with the pass price rises either?

    ASI money subsidised the stand move. No flags were ASI funded. :emoticon-0127-lipss

    What he says does seem to fit with what I'd read in various places. The plan seemed to be to be for clubs to come up with a variety of initiatives rather than just reducing tickets.

    Begs the question why this has only just been anounced.

    Probably because now the questions have been asked, it was the expenditure that made the most sense.

    He really is a absolute utter ****ing ****.

    And to think he used to seem alright, turns out he's no better than his old man.

    **** off soon, please. <ok>

    FWG may as well not bother.

    Mooney has been lying and stringing you all along.

    To be honest, why did we think they would spend it on us?

    We're all irrelevant, aren't we?

    Now we have an explanation, I have to say I agree with him. Even without it for our away fans there's already a huge sense of entitlement and need.

    Free travel doesn't bother me, every home game for me is like an away for the most of you. Saving 2 or 5 quid on a ticket? Meh.

    Improving the ground? Actually, yes a good idea. Even if it's only a small area.

    I suspect apart from the usual minimal excuse to start foaming at the gob, the real reason for the faux outrage is they've actually done what the fund was for, have done it well and are more than in the PL guidelines for it to the degree they're receiving plaudits for it from other fans and the PL itself.

    It's a big 2 fingers up to the fans and the FA, nothing more, nothing less.

    While I partially agree with your sentiment, the news you agree with Mr Allam comes as no surprise.
