    I don't think it was so much friends of friends, but with a bit of trial and error, we worked out that family groups seemed to take priority over the rest far too often to be chance, and it was unlikely to be just random names from a hat. We used that to our advantage.

    Today my wife said to me how impressed she was how patient I was with the Ticketmaster ticket office and the Hull City ticket off ice when I rang them because I couldn't get a ticket. I don't know whether the written word gives a wrong impression or that Wednesday fan is just stupid.

    It's an enormous arena which had about a quarter of its space used at any time by amateur sports clubs at a discount rate. It was far oversized, and a massive drain on finances. Now it's conversion has paved the way for Hull to hve a proper football academy giving Young kids and teenagers in Hull a real chance of making it, compared to some fat birds riding around on roller skates in an attempt to keep under 18 stone.

    The way it was done at such short notice wasn't great but the clubs hands were tied by the FA/PL whoever regulates these things and it was absolutely the right thing to do. It now serves a purpose other than being an enormous waste of money.

    It wasn't Hull City's decision to make and it wasn't the local sports club's fault that we haven't got our arses in gear for the past 10 years to sort an academy.

    Of course it was. The Arena is controlled and backed by the SMC, which is owned by the football clubs owner. Should it be the football club owners responsibility to bankroll and subsidise an enormous arena for a few amateur sports teams to have the pleasure of using a quarter at a time?

    As I said, the procedure wasn't great, but the end game was absolutely right. The facility is still open to public use anyway, it just has a different floor.

    With the money that we were getting from the PL it would have taken peanuts for the club to either, sort something out for themselves, or make sure the displaced sports clubs were sorted; instead, what we got was yet another PR nightmare and yet another stick to beat the Allams over the head with - our club never learns and it certainly never listens. They're their own worst enemies.

    So it's not Hull City's decision to make. SMC and Hull City are not the same thing.

    The owner of the SMC made the decision. Stop been **** before Allam sends you a company car.

    Let's be totally clear on one thing. Anyone who chooses not to go to Wembley has only themselves to blame. I'm sick of reading about it being the Allams' fault or Steve Bruce's fault, or Ticketmaster's fault etc. etc. There are even some so called supporters - idiots I would call them - who say that they are hoping that we lose. I despair!!
    It is YOUR choice not to go - nobody else's. I cannot go as I am going into hospital for a (hopefully) minor operation next week and I get really angry at people who come on here and pontificate about other people being to blame for them not going. No-one else is to "blame" the decision is all yours. I would love to be going to Wembley again and will now have to settle for watching it on TV - very much a second best option. Up the Tigers!

    And it wasn't in the best interests of anyone but Hull City.

    Without me having to reading all 776 previous posts can you please show me those that "blame" anyone else for not going? I don't mean those that explain their reasons for not going, just those that "blame" others. Thanks.

    I keep seeing people post this, but in fact Premier League rules state that concessionary prices must be offered to kids and OAP's.
