Well, there is a myriad of things which may or may not affect (positively or negatively) the team by 0.1% but by adjusting your actions "just in case", you're acting on superstition, rather than evidence. The 19:04 chant is measured, appropriate and effective in getting a message across that we remain loyal to the team called Hull City AFC. In my experience, the individuals joining in at 19:04 are significant contributors to a positive, supportive atmosphere throughout the game and are unlikely to indulge in moaning, barracking or early departure from the ground which (I believe) are far more likely to undermine the players we all support.

They're also the same people causing upset, anger and divisions within the supporters by chanting about "Allam Out" thereby being directly responsible for a negative atmosphere.

You can't have it both ways.

Oh yeah. No one tells you how to chant do they?

Irrespective, you've ignored the simple point made.

It's your most important game of the season, it's not televised, just concentrate on the game and getting behind the side and leave the rest at the turnstiles for 1 week. Hardly a sacrifice and it's not going to alter your campaign 1 jot.

Good point. I shall also wear odd socks, spin round three times before entering the stadium and recite my favourite Serbo Croat limerick at half time. Hardly a sacrifice and, who knows? It may well favourably affect the performance of the team.

Assem Allam decided that whatever impact this would have on the team he wanted to go through with it all over again.

He's already admitted that it's nothing more than a feud with the council, which he spuriously tried to claim was actually an economic argument fuelled by an academic paper he'd read, which was published a month after he came up with the idea and whose author says changing the name of Hull City wouldn't make money.

He decided that the point he wants to make to the council was important enough to piss everyone off and inevitably initiate the campaigns and protests all over again just in time for the run-in. To make absolutely sure of it he also tried to steal the Airco Arena from the City of Hull and its taxpayers.

He made the decision that the disruption is all worth it to make his point to the council and the fans once again. Either he thinks changing the name is more important than staying up, or he thinks it won't affect whether we stay up or not, despite the inevitable protests.

He didn't have to do that, but that was his decision. The fans are responding by singing a City song they've sung all their lives. Now an Everton fan is telling us we shouldn't sing it because you think it's controversial. It isn't. Even Ehab Allam has said he likes it when we sing it. He of course made sure to get a swipe at the fans in there by saying it's the only time we ever make a noise, whereas any other club owner, manager or even player would have said "The fans have been brilliant."

They are business geniuses, they know what they're doing and they've decided we're doing the name change process all over again. So we're doing it.

No lad, of course a negative atmosphere has never impinged on a teams performance has it.......... <doh>

If it has even the vaguest chance of affecting the team by 0.1% why the **** would you possibly risk that during arguably the biggest game in your history? That chant tomorrow is going to achieve **** all anyway, same as it hasn't for however long you've been using it, as the man's course is set, so why not just park it for 1 ****ing afternoon and put the actual game first?

It's not a negative atmosphere. You really have no idea what you're talking about.

What the **** would you know about the atmosphere given that you posted that during your biggest home game of the season.

I sit in the west and I always applaud the north Stand at 19.04! Comments like yours don't help! You can't start calling your own fans a disgrace! It's exactly what Allam wants!
