1700 pass holders evicted from the best seats in the ground without consultation. Or even the courtesy of a personal e-mail before it was announced. How many hundred's of years will these pass holders have spent collectively following Hull City.

Despite paying more for their seats and supporting the Tigers for decades they are treated with no respect.

Hundreds of pass holders in the South Stand are also being evicted. They were told years ago they could expect it at sometime but that isn't really the point. The move this year is without consultation. Again no personal e-mail.

Despite sitting there for years and in some cases since the KC opened they are treated with no respect.

Old Age Pensioners, many with over 50 years following Hull City behind them, have been told they will pay full whack. These people helped keep us afloat when we were bouncing along the bottom. They deserve their cheaper passes.

Our oldest supporters have been treated with no respect.

Young people, our future. The people that will continues the tradition of supporting their local football team, as well as creating their own. Told they will pay the same as an adult regardless of their age. If they or their parents can't pay the price they are not welcome. Our future has been treated with no respect.

Should we be surprised at how the owners treats us after the increasing prices for the disabled, the evictions of those in the North East corner, the evictions of the sports clubs in the Airco Arena and now the membership scheme.

Respect, within Hull City there is no respect for its supporters.

Excellently put.

When the fence is falling down you have to make a decision on which side to jump. I still need a couple of days thinking time about what it all means and what we could do about it.

Respect - Not in my Community

I weighed up the options, tried some different things and made my ultimate decisions last year.

It's a sad reflection on what our club and fan base has become, but so far, for me I'm happy I made the right choice.

As you rightly say, the respect is lacking from various quarters.

 

[Obadiah]

I didn't fully realise that the fence had three sides. Pay up and shut up, pay up and try and do something about it or walk away. Only two real choices for me, despite the performance against MK Dons.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Why not take a few moments to read what the Premier League and its clubs think about the vital importance of attracting younger people to the game.

AND THEN REALISE WHAT A COMPLETE MESS YOUR NEW SCHEME IS AND HOW COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH YOU ARE WITH THE REALITIES OF RUNNING A FOOTBALL CLUB.

AFC Bournemouth: Members of the Junior Cherries membership scheme (cost £7.50 pa) who are under the age of eight can attend any Barclays Premier League match for free (with a paying adult).

Arsenal: Fans aged 12-16 can buy 1,000 tickets at each of 14 Barclays Premier League fixtures at £10 per match.

Aston Villa: Season tickets for under-8s start at £85, less than £4.50 per match.

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.

Crystal Palace: Junior season tickets are available from £95 in the Family Stand, or £5 per match.

Everton: Young Evertonians account for almost a quarter of the overall season ticket sales at Goodison Park with 4,500 fans under-16 paying between £5 and £10.50 per match. Deals are extended to 16-20-year-olds who pay on average £19 per match.

Leicester City: Under-10s can attend matches at King Power Stadium for free in the Family Stand when accompanied by an adult. Of Leicester’s season tickets, almost a quarter (23%) are held by under-18s, with an average of less than £5.50 being paid per match.

Liverpool:The price for junior season tickets at Anfield have been reduced by 10% to a flat rate of £180, less than £10 a match. Matchday tickets are on sale for juniors from £5.

Manchester City: Under-16s can watch each match for £5 on average through the £95 seasoncard.

Manchester United: At Old Trafford season tickets for under-16s work out at £10 per match, while there are discounts for older fans (50% off for 16-17-year-olds and 25% off for 18-20-year-olds).

Newcastle United: 4,000 people under 18 pay up to £100 for season tickets, while several matches have single junior matchday tickets at a similar £5 price. St James’ Park boasts the largest family area in a football ground in Europe, seating about 8,200, where adults can buy a season ticket with a child for a combined £417, or £10.97 per person per match.

Norwich City: Under-12s at Carrow Road pay less than £3.70 per match for a season ticket, while Under-17s pay less than £5. More than a quarter of the 27,000 capacity at Carrow Road is allocated to a family stand.

Southampton: Season tickets for under-11s cost £50, about £2.65 a match.

Stoke City: The under 11s’ season ticket costs £38, or £2 per match, while an under-14 season ticket is available for £75 (£3.95 per match) and an under-17 for £169 (£8.90 per match). Young fans who join the club’s City 7s membership scheme (£10 per annum) get a free match ticket at the Britannia Stadium for themselves and an adult as well as a free home replica kit.

Sunderland: A normal Under-16 season ticket at the Stadium of Light costs £69 (£3.63 per match), while it is just £25 in the family zone.

Swansea City: Season tickets for Under-16s start at £69. The club have sent two free tickets to junior non-season ticket holders whose birthdays coincide with the fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur: Junior season ticket prices start at £14 a match at White Hart Lane, while matchday tickets start at £17.

Watford: Nearly one-fifth of the season ticket holders at Vicarage Road are under-16, with half of them paying up to £35 for a season ticket. Children aged seven or under in the Family Stand pay £10 for a season ticket.

West Bromwich Albion: More than half of junior season tickets (61%) pay £99 for their seats at The Hawthorns, or just over £5 per match.

West Ham United: A season ticket for under-10s costs £110 (less than £5.80 per match) while 50% discounts are extended to under-21s, who pay from £320 (£16.85 per match). For six matches last season, West Ham offered entry to kids for £1 (both home and away)

As we've seen previously, the Allams treat football as a commodity / product. In their business world, if your competitors are offering the product cheaper, your 'customers' could / should **** off and buy the product elsewhere...

Except we won't, and they know it. It's all well and good to roll out the 'running a football club as a business' line when it suits, but knowing full well you've got a captive market rather than a free market makes the removal of concessions rather insidious.

Anyone can see that the abolition of concessions is wrong.

What I need time to think about is what to do about the scheme. How good my health is and how to stop the evictions and the withdrawal of concessions happening. Or at least try. I've asked for a few days to think things over. Please be a little patient.

and what are we going to do to stop it?

 

[Muffinthegoat]

and what are we going to do to stop it?

Other than stop going - nothing can be done. The Allam apologists on the name change issue, and to a lesser extent the feeble acceptance on moving fans out of E1-E3 made sure of that. I just hope that the majority of customers being put out over this issue are ones that voted for "Allams to stay".

There is always something you can do. There are more options then sitting back and accepting it or giving up and doing something else. Its just finding them and that takes a little thought and people willing to do it. Like I said I need a few days to think things through.

 

[highpeak tiger]

I would suggest a mass boycott of a televised match (this season) with a demo outside (not inside so he cant ban participants) but that's easy for me to say as I decided last year not to let this odious family have one more penny of my money and stopped going. I will not return with them in charge. I still care passionately about the team but I decided enough was enough. Remember, if we do not secure promotion our "doctor" friend is 70-80 big ones down. If attendances fall, he has a problem

Until current season ticket holders see the confirmed cost for next season in black and white (which I assume will come with the new membership packs) I'm not sure much can be done.

We're not even sure yet if this is the final draft are we ?

Everyone to head for the concourses at 19.04 mins in the televised Wolves game?
Followed by everyone making a racket in support of the team a couple of mins later when they come back.
That visual stuff on televised games always gets newspaper coverage.

Didn't OLM say that the zones and prices are fixed and that any adjustments for families will have to come afterwards?

I don't see why they can't come before. Presumably the computer and pass system can cope with changes in subscriptions each year.

We know the concessions are going and that upper west pass holders are being evicted.

Under the new system there is nothing to stop upper west being given a price zone and for existing pass holders to be given a seat, at least until the away fans move in. If the police ever allow that to happen.

The more organised we are the more chance we have of success.

I still need a little thinking time, but my colours get further up the mast with each passing hour.

I've no idea how fixed things are, I'd hope they'd review them sooner rather than later, but until the full details are released next week, we don't know what they'll say.

The prime reason for moving pass-holders out of the West Upper, is so that they don't have to open it if we don't need it. The moving of the away fans is a longer term aim, it's not the prime driver now. It's highly unlikely that they'll change their minds.

Nothing is ever fixed in stone. Even evicting the pass holders in upper west.

Easy for me to say not being there, but outside events don't get the coverage like those inside the ground. I know there was an on going thing about ticket prices but the Liverpool walkout before the end of the game with Sunderland ? seemed to be the final straw for the Premier League bosses and not long after came the 30 quid maximum away ticket thing.
