Mine are 14 & 18 and they think the Allams are the devils nutty cousins! Who he wouldn't be seen out with!
No idea if this is correct but, makes a good conspiracy theory ,,, please log in to view this image fizzbuzz | Thursday, March 17 2016, 5:48PM Private members clubs (which is what Hull City will be) have the right to Immunity from public interference, since public authorities have no power to interfere with a private club's 'festivities' / 'events' when they are organized for a legitimate purpose and do not constitute a breach of the peace. CALL YOURSELVES WHAT YOU LIKE THEN, THE FA WILL BE POWERLESS - That's what this is all about, control. Why was Allam so upset last week at the £30 price cap for visiting fans? Because a private members club has to pay EXTRA liability insurance for EVERY non member that attends. Voluntary clubs are NOT partnerships, you get no share in the profits (or losses) so you get NO say in how it's run. This is what the dictator really wants! No doubt the HDM will pull this comment soon along with the others! http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Ehab...acy/story-28936938-detail/story.html#comments
I think the FL & PL are private member's clubs & to join you agree to abide by the rules. Part of those rules refer clubs to the rules of the FA. If you don't play along you are excluded.
ROFL Brilliant. Moon landings. Grassy knoll. Newsflash genius: You have to agree to abide by the PL and FA rules when you're a football club. Otherwise, bye bye. Cheers for the laugh mind.
Are you not hopping mad about the price increase for young supporters olm ? If not , how come ? To me this is WORSE then the name change.
There's a beautiful irony to it given what he's done for these people and what he's said about it. Although I too am baffled by it. You should read his twitter. There's some ****ing nutters about.
I'm in zone four at the moment filey which is a lot more than other zones how ever I like it there and would be willing to pay if the daughters price was cheaper however I am not paying £1000 for me and my daughter
N4 here Johnbo with a 14 year old and a 15 year old ****ing hell i would rather my pass went up then the price for young ones
Do they not realise they will not only lose so many teenagers but many parents has well if they value us something will have to be done, its up to the club
It would be cheaper for the pair of you to watch Chelsea..... Chelsea: The club offer a combined adult and junior season ticket for £880, the equivalent of £23.15 per person per match, while the junior concession, which offers match tickets from £15.50, has been extended to include Under-20s after consultation with fans.
It'd be interesting to see some of the market research they did in compiling the scheme. Given their stock in trade, I'm not sure they've acquired 20,000 advocates to help promote their C.V.
http://www.ambernectar.org/blog/2016/03/whats-the-true-cost-of-earning-your-stripes/ What’s the true cost of “earning your stripes”? March 17, 2016/1 Comment/in Opinion /by Amber Nectar What could ignite opinion more surely than a change to the cost of going to watch Hull City? A name change perhaps…but we’re struggling after that point. It’s therefore courageous, in the Sir Humphrey Appleby sense of the word, of City to make sizeable changes to their prices and method of entry. What’s occurring? They’ve taken the form of tickets, booklets and latterly swipe-cards – but the season ticket is to be no more. Instead, it’s all memberships. You buy a membership. Three levels exist: “One Stripe”, “Two Stripe” and the very adidasy-sounding “Three Stripe”. The exact benefits of these are yet to be explained, which strikes us as a missed opportunity. Why set out the tiers without outlining what each incorporates? Nonetheless, the basic price of a membership including access to every home game is clearly outlined – and the most notable feature is that prices are no longer set by age, but by which area of the stadium your seat is in. Everyone pays the same in their chosen zone. And you pay monthly, throughout the year, not the season. Whether that works out at more or less expense depends on circumstance. Adults can now pay as little £21 a month…but only if you are prepared to sit in certain areas of the stadium, none of which are down the side. But if you aren’t too fussed about your location, a full season of football could now be just £252 for a full-paying adult. That’s half the current price. So far, so good. What’s the catch? Well, you may have to move. Most other areas of the ground cost more than £21pm, rising up to prices comparable to this season’s. And those huge discounts apply only to full paying adults. And there’s a little asterisk besides the club’s advertising image stating that “qualifying conditions apply” – this too is not expanded upon. If you’re a child (or more likely, paying for a child), or a young adult, or a senior citizen, take a deep breath. Your concessions have gone. We’re all paying the same price now. And for kids, that price is rising steeply. Do I have to move? Maybe. You can stay in your current seat and pay more than others will be. Unless you sit in the Upper West Stand, which is now being closed on a matchday to “improve the atmosphere”. Oh, and if you’re a single adult in the South Stand, you’re also being evicted to make way for an enlargement of the family area. Who wins? Adults who are willing to move could make huge savings. Not a freeze, nor a modest saving, but a potential halving of the cost of football. Who loses? Kids. People who pay for kids. Teenagers. Seniors. And full paying adults who don’t/can’t, for whatever reason, move to a different part of the stadium. Anyone in the West Upper or South who doesn’t want to move but is being forced to. How did we arrive at this? City say this scheme has been years in the making, and indeed it’s an idea we dimly recall being pitched to Adam Pearson when he was in charge of the club. It’s been said that the club are unhappy with the proportion of adults who use concessionary tickets to gain discounted access to which they aren’t entitled. If so, removing kids’ discounts strikes us as using an elephant gun to tackle a mosquito. A few weeks ago, at the most recent Fans’ Working Group meeting, those present had an outline of the scheme shown to them, though only after signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Yes, really. The club were very anxious not to have any details revealed. Now, this NDA was made out to “Hull City Tigers”, and as a quick scan of the league table shows no such club we didn’t really feel entirely bound by it, but as courteous guests we naturally abided by it. The club also asked for feedback based upon a presentation, and invited us to submit further observations and constructive criticism via e-mail. Kids prices were raised by others at the time, though a firm response to this was skipped over. Perhaps this ought to have alerted us that something was amiss. We strongly advised against compelling people to move. The upper west stand isn’t our cup of Darjeeling, but its patrons deserve better than summary eviction from a seat they may have had for over a decade. It can only generate ill will. Unfortunately this recommendation hasn’t been acted upon. We thought then, as now, that this is a scheme with some merit. Discounting adult prices is a very welcome move, even if it entails the possible aggravation of moving. A few weeks ago, we offered qualified support, pointing out that several improvements had to be made before it represented the major improvement the club is keen advertise but appreciating that this is something worthy of consideration and capable of offering genuine benefits. We like the principle and we recognise the potential. But… It is not tenable to price out kids and families in this way, and could cause immense long-term damage to the club. We remember the dog days of the 1990s, when City’s prospects were so bleak an entire generation of kids grew up wearing other team’s shirts. Repairing that damage and making the club attractive to kids took many, many years. We’re risking the same situation again. Please, City, have another think.
You're starting to sound more and more like a Mooney / Allam apologist with every Page. Have you been asked to canvas opinion on here?
The power and integrity of communication was always in the hands of the club, for them to disperse and degrade it's integrity and quality was their doing and theirs alone. I am struggling to understand what they gained by divulging this huge commercial secret to a well-meaning, but disparate bunch of supporters (but not necessarily friends). They told a reporter, who just might form the same conclusions as so many on here; he blew the story with a Tweet and became a twat for many. But maybe an unbiased reporter for many more. What harm has Burnsy done? The conniving or incompetence seems to belong to the owners, yet again.
