Good article, have to agree the statement "a swing of Diame's boot", does someone degrade the actual execution which was excellent.
I am not so ill-disposed toward the Allams as many on here - after all, they have presided over the most successful period in the clubs history, consistently backed their manager, and saved us from free-falling through the divisions as we would have done had they not come to the rescue - but I have to concede that the situation has become so bad it is irretrievable and that it would now be best for them to sell the club and move on. As for the lack of supporters at Wembley this time around, I think it was more a true reflection of the size of our support than was 2008, when it was the first time City had ever played at Wembley and so attracted people who wouldn't otherwise have gone. Anyway, Wednesday's home crowds are regularly 10,000 more than ours so they were always going to bring a bigger crowd to Wembley.
When your attendance at Wembley is lower than your average home attendance in the previous season, it obviously isn't a true reflection of the size of a club support.
Their average attendance this season was 22,641. Pretty certain that's not 10k more. If anything, that's ****ing ****e for a club in a 40k stadium. In fact, there were only 20k there for the match against us. Massive indeed.
It ain't bad in a city with another football club pulling in over 20,000 despite being in Div3. Especially compared to Leeds, a city with 150,000 more residents and only one club. And Wednesday have had their problems with high ticket prices, especially match day ones.
Reading some comments,,especially from the likes of dinos and scooter123, you have to wonder about some of our so called fans (those two refer to everyone else as so-called fans), They seem to have no idea what a football club means to the supporters and the community and regard City as a business on a par with Tesco or Morrisons where if you don't like the way things are done you simply go somewhere else. A lot of us on here have differences of opinion but most are probably in agreement but the place of a football club in the hearts of the fans.
They also have a rugby club which has won at Wembley as many times as the two Hull rugby clubs combined.
Not normally something I bother with much nowadays but due to circumstances meaning I am sat about with nothing to do was filling in time. I think calling them morons is overestimating their intelligence,
Yes but that doesnt impact on the attendances of the 2 football clubs does it? What crowds do their RL team pull in compared to Hull's?
I know. I just like qouting the fact that after 5 years of existence Sheffield Eagles had won st Wembley as many times as both Hull clubs. I don't think that the rugby clubs have much impact on City's attendances. There never was that many who went to both and the cost has made it even less. As Imsaid previously if everyone at FC last weekend, plus the handful who went to the Catalans game, had gone to Wembley we would still have had less there than Wednesday had. Or, for that matter, how many we had in 2008.
It says it all when he sees change as a threat, when we need change desperately. I've amended it to reflect current events and rumour better, but a decent article, nonetheless.
