When the Allams are finally driven out (please let that be soon), it's gonna be like post Vichy France around here: I hope the Mods will be selectively Photoshopping Avatars to remove the hair from the worst collaborators. Just been listening to Jeremy Vine (can't stand 'im but he was on while I ate my corned beef) and there's a rumpus in Eastbourne caused by the new owner of the pier: Sheikh Abid Gulzar. He's upsetting locals by banning fishing and dog walking and didn't feel planning permission applied to him when he painted parts of the pier in gold. What was interesting was the people calling in and writing elsewhere to support him: the arguments being pretty much "he has done so much good for the community"/ "without him the pier would have fallen into the sea"/ "it's his pier, he can do what he likes with it". It'll be interesting to see how the situation in Eastbourne pans out: I suspect the more support he gets, the more audacious he will become, using popular support as a stick to beat the council bureaucrats with. Then he'll go too far with some harebrained scheme which no sensible person could support and the supporters will go a bit quiet.
I just took for granted the assumption that when something as daft as the name change came up, that it would be roundly rejected and mocked by Hull City's support and never heard of again. I remember being astounded that it was not, then angry and then exceedingly disappointed. I really thought Hull people would not give this the time of day. How wrong I was. Never been the same since.
I agree with that 100% Lambo but unfortunately the OSC are not that good at replying to members' emails on certain issues. I am still waiting for a reply to emails asking for details about their last presentation to the FA!! Never mind an explanation about their secrecy over this matter they didn't even have the courtesy to send any kind of basic acknowledgement/reply. Speaks volumes and I can only put this down to more servile obsequity. Speaking of servility I genuinely believe that the Allam-Sycophant Brigade (in truth only a fireteam left) are really worried on several fronts: 1 I think their sycophantic rantings on the HDM site, and on here, are due to them now fully realising that the protests are most definitely going to increase national awareness regarding the Allams' horrible mis-management of our club. 2 The sycophants know they have lost the argument but are too cowardly to admit it. 3 The sycophants know they have lost the argument and are too cowardly to admit they are really Trolls. Good luck to all going to the game and protesting. Good luck to all those who feel they can't go to the game. CTID and #allamsout Dubs
You only have to read this forum every day to see how many soft and complacent fans we have. There are the ones that won't tolerate any discussion about tactics, quibble about protests, ones going about not 'panicking' when this is the worst situation we have been in for at least 5 years or more. The ones saying the owner could change the name without any good reason at all.Too many 'I'm alright Jack' fans by far but I'm proud of the majority who won't take this kind of **** and protested against the owners, are protesting still in any way they can, and it won't be long I'm sure a new owner is in to restore the proud name and reputation of Hull City. Stand up for what you believe in
I don't think anyone can really still support the Allam clan in any meaningful way, but there are still some on here (and elsewhere) who will do anything to avoid agreeing with people they view as hooligans and trouble-causers. They'll disagree til the cows come home. Oh no. Cows.
