    Since when did anyone need to an honest to goodness source they're prepared to disclose to post anything on here?

    We're quite often told what they're doing, or how they feel.

    Don't forget, Allam Snr once said we were the "best fans in the country".

    It was a few months before he said we can die when we want, we are hooligans, etc etc.

    Question asked

    What reasons do our fans who attend give for not protesting ? Deafening silence

    Are our supporters trust doing anything? Deafening silence

    sad state of affairs as fans were as neglectful to the club as our current owners

    Plan something, put it to them & ask for their support.

    The Trust isn't half a dozen gadgers on a committee, it's the full membership.

    Take the bull by the horns, be proactive & contact them.

    A video telling some of those individual stories could be quite powerful in getting the message across and would embarass the Allams if it got wide media coverage.

    I believe they're meeting early next week to discuss several different options on how to proceed.

    For those interested.

    It may be a good time to forward any ideas you have regards protests to the Trust Committee.

    "The HCST Board are acutely aware of the current unrest in the ranks of Hull City Supporters, after all that's what everyone of us involved with the Trust are.....Supporters!

    We've had requests for updates and protest action both from members and also the wider City fan base, (especially on Social Media).

    Our Chairman was even directly contacted by a leading name from the local Media to ask if HCST would be organising protests at the Stoke match!

    Feelings are running high throughout the fan base, which has obviously not been helped by team performances and results on the field, as well several backroom departures from the first team, (to a certain club in the West Midlands), and of course the continuing saga of several bidding consortia being linked as 'in talks' with the Allam's over a potential purchase of our beloved club.

    The protests we organised for the opening match day against Leicester City got huge media coverage, (both in the UK and Internationally), however it was very clear that the protest in the stadium wasn't supported by as many fans as hoped, (possibly due to the huge queues of fans still trying to get in to the ground at kick off time?), and with so many long serving, true and loyal City fans now boycotting the much maligned 'Membership Scheme', our view is that continued protests of red cards or similar won't achieve our aims of encouraging the Allam family to sell up to new owners or alternatively force the club to engage in meaningful dialogue.

    So what next?

    As you may be aware, the HCST Board meets up bi-monthly with our next meeting scheduled for this Monday, (November 7th).

    During this meeting, we will be discussing a range of potential actions that we have been suggesting behind the scenes, and once we have a clear plan of action, we will of course update our superb Trust membership and if/when appropriate various media organisations.

    In the meantime we all continue to hope that performances on the field improve, (starting on Sunday against Southampton), and in particular that Ehab Allam progresses the sale of the club nearer to a point of completion.

    Both the above are big challenges, but as ever, we as Hull City fans continue to live in hope for a brighter future..........something we've become very accustomed to over the years!"

    I don't think I can tell them what I want doing ... at least not on here. I'd likely be arrested .....

    The owners of Hull City Football Club are prepared to sell the club for its scrap value, which they have priced at £130 million. It has been widely reported that one consortium is prepared to meet this price.

    The sale of the club is now dependent on a how much and when in relation to paying the stated amount. If no deal can be sorted out then the club will be scrapped and money (£130 million) will be taken from the football club Blackpool Stylee which means we will be stuck with the current leeches for a few more years while they line their pockets, and the club tumble down the leagues. Sad times indeed.

    When the Allams leave Hull City it will be in a better state than when they took over but we could well be playing in league one or possibly two by then. I am hoping that the sale takes place sooner rather than later but get the feeling that resolution may not be just around the corner.

    For those wishing to obtain an Olympic stadium ground tick, my advice would be to snatch at it now, use it or lose it so to speak, the opportunity may not return for a very long time.

    Enjoy your football.

    Please would you be kind enough to replace this as a new thread as I would like other peoples opinions of the potential scrap value of the club. This thread relates to the current owners and also suggests the possibility we may not have new owners for quite a while. I would like to know other peoples thoughts on this, very real scenario unfolding.

    You think so?

    I disagree with you tbh, I think it's more disappointing, they just seem to have disappeared which is a huge shame.
