    "Public realm space". Seems to be the latest buzz phrase. The proposed new venue in Hull will also have a public realm space.

    One would have thought that if you own the stadium you would need to re-coop the cost of building/buying it as well as the regular maintinance and upkeep. That would be much more than another club who got a stadium given and only have to maintain it. It was said on here that the hotel at Reading is not exactly a money maker.

    You keep saying this but we didn't freeze ticket prices did we? We put them up after relegation and used the incredibly flimsy excuse that 'we hoped to be in the PL'.

    70% of tickets went down or were frozen this summer and ours went up. The facts say it all but because it's Allam it gets defended.

    It's wonderfully ironic that you and Happy are now strongly against treating the little guy like **** when you can try and associate the Man City owners with it and somehow use that to justify our cheapest seaso ticket being more expensive than one of the very best teams in the country.

    When Allam kicked a load of kids out of the Airco just to make a point to the council you pretended to think it was a great idea and you don't care about the community, kids, etc. Can't they just bounce somewhere else, fat birds roller blading, etc. etc.

    Now you're a big political campaigner for the little man. There's only one constant with you two and your phoney stances and we all know what that is.

    Which we are you bleating about? The Hull City we or the Hull United we?

    Phoney?

    Lol

    Not giving a penny, sponsors player, goes to away games, allegedly, speaks on behalf of HCST as if he's affected by ticket prices.

    You're a ****ing fraud.

    I'd genuinely love to see you at an away game, getting all frustrated surrounded by 'the minority' singing City songs that make your blood boil. I bet you use your typically excellent reasoning skills to explain to them why they're wrong don't you? Or do you just sit there quietly? I think I can guess.

    Any thoughts on why Swansea's tickets are cheaper than ours? They don't own their ground. Maybe James Mooney wasn't told about them by our owner as they are a club where the owners, the council and a supporters trust all work together. And our owner doesn't go in for that sort of nonsense.
    The Milan clubs are amongst others who don't own their own ground as well.

    Better and more loyal supporters?

    How the **** should I know?

    Why not ask about the many clubs who charge more than us? Or the ones with membership schemes that cost a fortune?

    Or are you just one of those obsessed with running our club and city down all the time?

    Actually I think that could be the difference between us and Swansea. Less like you.

    You don't know? But you were telling us you knew because you were in possession of the facts.
    Tell me when I have run our club down. Obviously to you Allam is the club. The city you love so much you live there.
    Give me a list of clubs in the championship with membership schemes who charge more than us. I will be interested to read it.

    And, my dogs are better than your dog.

    Comprehension not your strong point?

    I said James was in possession of the facts.

    You on the other hand just **** stir and speculate.

    It's funny you doing this plastic routine.

    I support my home team, you support the owner with the money.

    When one decides to be a name changer they give up the right to talk about who's a real fan and who's a plastic. You only do this to wind people up, yet being called out on it seems to get yourself wound up more than anyone else.

    It wasn't long ago that every second post of yours sarcastically referred to the rest of us as 'superfans'. You seemed to think it was cool to be more casual and less bothered about events the club. Now you're trying really hard to pretend you're a hardcore fan yourself. You even sing sometimes, gosh!

    Out of tune no doubt. As you say his sole existence is to wind up people on the board.. Perhaps he could piddle off to his boutique hostel in Siem Reap.

    Why not post details of them?

    It shouldn't take long, the list of Championship clubs whose season ticket prices start as high as ours (taking into account any membership fees) has nobody on it.

    In fact, I'm not sure any Championship club requires becoming a member before you can buy a season ticket, I suspect that none exists.

    Local club? Which one? Hard work keeping up with you on which club you're supporting.

    Well until we're back in the PL of course then you'll be back to City.

    You really must be a superfan, so avidly supporting 2 teams tbh. I admire your balls for demanding away fans make a lot of noise today, to get behind the team, whilst not attending home games but by being at the Utd games. Demanding away fans make a lot of noise lol. The one time you don't need to request or demand owt like that. You sure you're doing aways?

    You accuse me of sitting quietly at matches, tutting at anyone making a noise. The opposite is true. I mentioned this to correct you. You get all ****y about it. Figures.

    I've never claimed to be hardcore, but given your history I understand why you'd think that after I admitted singing occasionally.

    I support my club. The owners are part of that, as much as the players, the manager and everything else. Someone who can support 2 clubs like you probably doesn't get that, although I bet you supported Utds owners when they were dishing out freebies, soon turned on him though eh?

    You telling me I give me any right to have an opinion on something is quite funny, but entirely in keeping with everything else you spew on here, and of course along with all that, wholly representative of the trust of which you are a spokesman.

    Plastic ****.

    I think the perception of your support probably comes from you being a scab and your wife keeping you under house arrest for the month of December.

    Piss easy this posting inaccurate nonsense lark. <laugh>

    What facts are James in possession of that aren't available to anyone else? He stated that the reason that Reading's tickets was that they owned their own ground. So how does that square with the fact that Swansea's prices are cheaper when they don't own their ground? Or that other clubs who own their ground charge more? This would suggest his reasoning is not exactly sound. Though, coincidentally, it fits in with the views of his boss who used the fact the council wouldn't let him have the stadium as the excuse to hike prices.

    Every clubs situation is different and unique, surely you get that. Thats why comparisons are hard to make or easy if you have an agenda. You're aware of this though as you always puncture the Bundesliga balloon when its brought up.

    So, when making comparisons, did James Mooney have an agenda? Or his boss?

    Of course if every clubs' situation is different or unique then it was pointless on him highlighting one club and claiming the reason for lower prices was that, unlike ourselves, they owned their own ground. Especially when a club into the PL without their own ground, not to mention all those in Serie A, charge lower prices than we do. Or that other clubs who do own their own grounds charge more. It was a pointless remark which you can't help but think was instigated by someone with a bee in his bonnet about ground ownership.
