Another scene like this last night, but with an appropriate song that most will know.
What about you'll never walk alone?

I really like the song to the tune of 'this is the best trip' etc.
Oh why won't you go,
Why won't you go,
You said you'd sell up, so why won't you go?
It carries an appropriately exasperated tone and also highlights his dishonesty and lack of integrity which we know is so important to him. Not as catchy as a simple we want Allam Out but more powerful I think.

It was that. I last remember it being sung about a year ago before last night.
Or, perhaps, they are just dealing with a different set of circumstance, some that play a part in more peoples lives. I don't see the Trust changes gaining any different reaction from the club, or have I missed something? I think we need to let this run for a while.
Hull City fans red card the club’s membership scheme
Hull City Supporters’ Trust wishes to thank all the fans who participated in last night’s “red card” protest against the club’s membership scheme.
We know that the vast majority of City supporters oppose the scheme but we were delighted by the overwhelming visual opposition to the club’s plans. Considering many of those joining the protest might be personally benefiting through price reductions, it shows the generosity of spirit amongst Hull City fans that they are concerned about the scheme’s impact on their fellow supporters, particularly children, young people and seniors.
Following last night’s events, and Steve Bruce revealing in his post-match interview that Assem Allam is currently suffering with illness, we’ve had contact from the club asking us to stop the protests. We are of course sorry to hear about Mr Allam’s illness and wish him a speedy recovery. However, at the same time as saying the protests should cease, the club are continuing to press ahead with the scheme and in fact claiming to the Trust that memberships are selling well, which is something we struggle to believe.
The club are effectively saying that they don’t have to listen to the fans because memberships are selling well, and Steve Bruce says that fans who don’t like the scheme shouldn’t join it. This prompts us to instigate further action. We don’t want to call for a full boycott of the scheme as the manager suggests – it’s up to individual fans to decide if they want to join or not – but we are calling for fans to not sign up until Friday 6th May, the deadline for guaranteeing your seat. If you’re willing to risk losing your seat (and let’s face it, there isn’t going to be huge demand for it unless you sit in a ‘Zone 1’ area) then you could even wait until August before joining the new scheme. Let’s put the club’s claim to the test and continue to show them how seriously we oppose this scheme. If like many people you would like to make a statement in protest but don’t want to give up supporting your club, this is the perfect way to do that without showing your hand just yet.
We also urge supporters who are going to sign up to first look very carefully at the terms and conditions of the scheme. There are some clauses which cause us concern and we are investigating this. We’ll explain our concerns relating to this in more detail soon.
It would take no time at all for Ehab Allam to order the scheme suspended and authorise a full and proper dialogue with supporters. We will gladly suspend our protests if and when that happens. But until the club start to listen, we will continue to fight this pernicious scheme.
Despite the potential for promotion, support for the club is waning (note the number of empty seats last night) directly as a consequence of the Allam family’s policies. The membership scheme will deliver a body blow to that remaining support. It is too important an issue to ignore. Unless the club agree to suspend the scheme and engage in dialogue, we will continue with the red card protest in front of the Sky cameras at Bolton on Saturday as well as the call for fans to delay joining the membership scheme.

The brass neck of these ****s is staggering ''we're gonna keep pressing on with this but you mugs (cos' that's what they ****ing see) should stop protesting'' - you couldn't invent a bigger set of arseholes than these.
Stop your stupid scheme and we will have nothing to protest about!
Exactly. No membership scheme then no protests. It's no brainer if the club doesn't want protests.
Ye that would be interesting to know. We've all took it as read they are but...
What about some abusive songs about Strawberry. Isnt the bloke who owns MKM one of the Directors?
Abusive songs about them too. Squeeze those around them. They wont like it and maybe apply direct pressure to Ehab.
MKM bag of ****e
Strawberry bag of ****e
Thanks for all the photos - it was a truly impressive protest and I hope that the club have the sense to take note. The match report on the Beeb website mentioned a section of the crowd protesting - I guess they meant "the whole stadium section." What surprised me was the number of empty seats.
The same Beeb story included quotes from Steve Bruce:
"The one thing that disappoints me is all the protests and red cards. At the end of the day the chairman, at the moment, is not well at all and this will not help him."
If a club's supporters disagree with a proposed scheme, they have every right to protest. The chairman's illness is irrelevant (though I wish him a full and speedy recovery) and what about the seniors and juniors? Will the proposed scheme help them?
"It's been the best five years in the history of the club and it will be remembered for the membership scheme and the name change."
Actually, I think many of us will also remember promotion and the cup final. The name change and membership scheme will be remembered because they are divisive, unnecessary and bloody stupid.

Sadly, I've been speaking to quite a few that have signed up already, or are planning to sign. It is relative though, as it was hardly a representative sample.
This is the trouble isnt it. I was talking to a mate who sits in W11 and he said ye its all wrong but he' signing up as he's sat there years. He's happy his pass is going down but thinks its wrong for old and young to have to pay the same.
People know its wrong but then we all want to go and if some of us dont get into the cheaper areas we arent going to go. Mental.
Press release doesnt go far enough - why arent they asking for people to boycott?
On another note, the club is a disgrace. There's only one person brought these protests on, if he wants them to stop then he knows what to do.

Well I'm sorry but if he knows it's all wrong and he's getting one then it's a really poor show.
Really poor.
