    Summed up my thoughts exactly from a supporter of 45 years standing. Two long distance season tickets not renewed. Will pick my away games selectively next year.

    I started supporting the Tigers a couple of years before you and there have been far far worse times - and far far worse owners - than we have now.

    So why did he not stop going when Lloyd, Bartlett or Chis Needler own the club they did far more damage to the club.

    It's quite clear from the article. All the things he mentioned, they didn't do, Allam did.

    That's completely irrelevant. The fact is that, for the reasons given, the Allams actions have caused him to feel he has to turn his back on the club after decades of support.

    Consider this - That he supported the club through the Lloyd / Bartlett / Needler / Fish eras and now feels he can't continue his support tells you all you need to know about the conduct of the Allam's and how it has alienated thousands of fans.

    First of all its not thousands, so do you concider locking the gates to the ground as acceptable ?

    Lo
    Locking the gates united all Hull City fans and at the same time helped generate a great team spirit because of adversity. It was also one of the reasons Hull City Council wanted a home ground for City where the threat of expulsion was not an issue. Amazingly it did not result in fans of Hull City booing each other.

    If the best thing you can come up with in support of Allam, is that he's not quite as big a **** as Lloyd, you should probably give up.

    Personally, I find neither of their actions acceptable.

    It was the landlord who locked the gates at Boothferry Park, not the owner.

    Some of the things fans did towards certain of the campaigners was worse than booing.

    no different to Allam really - he deserted his country and never went back - he's on the Board of the British Egyptian Society but we all know that's a load of ****e because he turned his back on his history and traditions

    What do you mean by this? By campaigners are you talking about anti name change campaigners?

    Genuine question, I have no interest in any petty back and forth, just want to know what you meant.

    Quite possibly your most moronic post ever and that takes some doing with your history.

    I mean precisely what I put.

    It was mentioned that campaigns at fer ark didn't result in fans booing fans. I'm just pointing out some of the fan v fan things back then were worse than booing.
