I blame the protest groups too. Fancy them protesting against a dictatorship! Tut tut tut..... That name change nonsense should of just been accepted......
[/QUOTE] How can they be equally to blame? There aren't protests groups without something to protest about. It started because of the attempting change the club's name. Who instigated that? Presumably if everyone had just shrugged their shoulders and said that good old Mr Allam could do what he wanted it was his clubs and the fans views were irrelevant everything would have been OK? Then , after that his contempt for the home fans with the away fans money would have been OK? Then after that his ludicrous membership scheme would have been alright? The sabotaging of the takeover bid his his sprog would have been OK as would have been the sabotaging of the coming season? Then we could all have lived happily ever after, sat gently applauding Hull Tigers as grateful customers as opposed to. those awful. things, fans?
Good to see irememberwaggy standing by his principles. Too bad they are incredibly ****ing stupidly idiotic principles, really. Absolute imbecile.
I presume you tutted just as loudly when those nasty fans threw tennis balls onto the pitch in protest at David Lloyd? Or was that ok because you deemed him to be worse than the current lot? Perhaps my recollections of that time are slightly muddied, and it was the fault of the fans that he locked us out of the ground.

What I find annoying, is the fact that the Allams firstly removed the name as part of there flawed attempt to change the clubs name. Secondly to say that the Tiger was the big marketing tool, particularly for the overseas market, I don't have a problem with . But a club that is not well known, the omission of the clubs name, is IMO a serious marketing mistake. I have already said on here a few times, I do business in Ghana and took half a dozen shirts out as a present for customers, and the first thing they all did was look as the badge and say which team is this then?
Listen dumbo, the protest group had to come second because it had to have something to protest about. Do you understand?
Any updates on the takeover, or where those Chinese people at the Lester game just sneaking in for free....
We already established that he supports protests, and supported protests then because we were locked out. He said so It's just that he doesn't want to protest this time because these owners haven't hit his own personal threshold and therefore begrudges anyone else spoiling his day out
I don't begrudge anyone protesting - I just don't agree with them. The lack of concessions with the membership scheme is a bad decision in what is otherwise a good scheme. Protesting against it at matches will only escalate feelings & make it less likely to be changed.
And it'll have an effect on the way the team plays and they'll be unable to perform to the best of their ability because of CTWD. 6 points
Both the "anti protest" and "pro protest" are wrong. Allams decided to eventually sell the club when he realised he would never get the name change and the increased revenue he expected from the change. He realised then that the club would not make a profit for him therefore decided to sell when he got offered the right price. He could have sold the club several times before now and the protests but would not have got his outlay. The protests did very little in pushing the sale, frankly I suspect he does not care about waving cards and chants, papa Allam has bigger worries, like his health and leaving his family financially secure. Money has talked in changing the regime, not protests (For the record I am pro protests, I wanted a sit out on the opening day to show an empty stadium on sky)
