    If we don't get promoted, he doesn't sell unless he makes a huge loss.

    No idea about the family stand guarantee, I assume the additional Zone 1 seats were originally Zone 2 (the number of additional seats has reduced from the details the FWG got and we only got them yesterday), they're completely closing the West Upper if we're not promoted.

    No. The man is a petulant child who cannot bear to write the name Hull City. Legally our contract has always been with the limited company not the football club. He's the only one that has rammed it down our throats.

    Still don't have a clue how it will affect me. "POA" for W5 doesn't sound promising.

    I know - his gift is sinking down a whirlpool - if don't get promoted, more fans will leave, he needs to spend even more money to get us promoted ahead of the likes of Villa and Newcastle next season, if he doesn't spend and we don't get promoted then even more fans will leave - it's a total **** up really and most of it is his fault for keeping Brucie

    1. WILL WE HAVE TO PAY MORE?

      No. For your rst year of Membership, no group in the Family Stand will have to pay more than you did for your 2015/16 Season Cards. This is our Family Stand Guarantee

    That doesn't answer the question posed.

    "all benefits (including loyalty points) accrued by any Member or Additional Member under the Membership Agreement shall be permanently lost unless the Club (at its sole discretion, which the Club does not have to give) permits that Member or Additional Member to enter into another membership agreement with the Club to begin on the day immediately following the Membership Termination Date (in which case the relevant Member or Additional Member will not be required to pay any joining fee); "

    So if you find yourself unable to go for a period, you have to keep paying, or start again from scratch, plus a new joining fee?

    Reading the later ones, if the club terminate your membership, it can block you getting away tickets too as they notify the other clubs.

    Nothings changed for me. Its either pay nearly a grand for me and the lad or move to a worse seat. Either in the corner in West or move into North.

    First reaction is to say ram it. But I'll have a think.

    I thought of you last night after they scored, you'll know why.

    He thinks money buys success, the more you spend the more success you have. It may work in his existing businesses but doesn't always apply in football. As he found out last season.

    He should have sacked Bruce and got Pulis in when he was available.

    He also has no appreciation of what football supporters bring to the club. He'll find out next season if we are still in the championship.

    All in all, despite the FA Cup final, his legacy is one of failure. For me its a bigger failure then any other owner of Hull City because of the amount of money he has had to spend on players and their wages.

    Will the Trust be holding a meeting of all supporters to discuss the scheme?

    I think it should.

    It does.

    'How long does the family stand guarantee apply for?'

    'For your First year of Membership, no group in the Family Stand will have to pay more than you did for your 2015/16 Season Cards. This is our Family Stand Guarantee'

    Ergo the guarantee is for the first year. Whether it remains that way who knows but the guarantee is for one year.

    That would be madness. So, yes, they will do it.

    The irony of the whole Earn Your Stripes scheme, means that the easiest way to get tickets will be to not join the scheme at all and just buy individual tickets. Reading the brochure you do not have to join the scheme to do this. The price of course is another matter

    I guess they have to start somewhere, but some people earned their stripes many moons ago.

    "No joining fee if you sign up before the 9th of June, is effectively a joining fee, as unless you leave it while last minute and have less choice of seating, you'll be paying when there are no games.

    Also, which club is it we're all in together with? I can't seem to find its name on that brochure.

    I will go back to the FWG. The kid off CI and Olm both thought/think the scheme has a lot of merits. I just dont get it. How does it have any merit?

    I suppose paying over 12 months is good.
    I can even understand closing the Upper West because of falling attendances.
    The rest is just marketing bollocks i dislike intensely, which has Dutch so riled up.
    Turnstiles for the young and old with firm enforcement of cheats solves it rather than one price for all.
    One price for all is wrong. Simple as that.
    An adult ticket last year was too dear and i went along with it due to relegation, fair enough recoup some money back. But with an understanding it would be reduced next year. Mine has but you've trebled my lads, so...

    Meh
