    No. I think the membership scheme and the way it has been handled speaks of an ownership that no longer cares, they've sold us and the Americans can sort out the mess.

    Apparently Mr Grieve now wears a Davy Crockett hat, when asked why he said that when he mentioned to the consortium about buying a football club in Hull they said wear the fox hat.

    So it's probably not a good time for me to ask how far a crow can actually fly, straight or otherwise?

    Right, I won't then.

    I decided not to renew last season when, towards the end of the previous season, I realised I would rather be at work. The atmosphere in the stadium had become toxic to the point I just wasn't enjoying being there and was then asked to pay even more money to sit amongst people who I no longer felt an affinity to. The passion and enjoyment had gone. I went to a few away games and really enjoyed them, as I always have, I won't go back for home games until they have gone.

    You've summed my situation up perfectly muff, same as you, I just do away games - I don't miss the home games one bit. I'm not getting an ''earn your stripes membership'' whether the Allams are there are not, even if they bring concessions for kids and OAP's back I still may not get one.

    FFWD: New owners in, ****ty punitive membership scheme relaxed/dismantled.

    Will we see the usual begrudging ****s objecting to other fans getting passes on the cheap at new prices?

    Well technically we've already had a good couple of years of it, considering he said he would sell the club within 24 hours back in 2014.

    Again I know what you mean but teams like Leicester said **** that we're winning the actual league. If we aim to finish 17th we'll be lucky to achieve that. We've already got a better squad than a few PL teams. We should be aiming as high as possible. Mid table really isn't out of the question.

    They use a Raven on a Game of Thrones, which is a member of the crow family, Corvidae, and they can fly 1000 miles in about 5 minutes.

    Hopefully not. Many people who have renewed have save money themselves already and everyone is in favor of concessions being restored. Everyone's a winner in the scenario you paint.

    In a lot of ways even without the Allams home games, atmosphere etc, are pretty ****ty.
    Away games are more enjoyable. Different boozers different towns more of a laugh.
    I think a lot of it is its just so sterile being in the KC.
    Once you stop going you realise how **** it is.
