I regularly use the walkway, and it gets a frequent repaint from the corporation to cover up graffiti, almost none of it football or Allam related. It also gets littered a lot. I could understand why someone would want to restrict access to it.
I have noticed that over the last couple of years, access had been slowly but surely been restricted around the stadium, new fences keep getting built. Not sure who is behind this or why, as there is no love lost between landlord and tenant.
There used to be any number of ways to get by the stadium - slowly but surely they are being shut off. By the railway line back of Hymers College- now gated, the road and pavement to Walton St by the Airco- ditto, the footpath from carpark through the trees to the stadium- now gated, the main entrance in front of Reception- now gated.
This is about the last throroughfare for the public that is still viable. It must be the most gated stadium in the country.
It must cost a fortune to erect it all- and for what purpose?

Its his property and it puts us firmly in our place. Outside looking in admiring his gift to the City until he kindly decides to let us in.

I don't think a boycott is a sensible way of proceeding, either for the Manchester United match or the Swansea match for different reasons.

Many of our supporters have waited decades for success on the pitch. Hull City v Manchester United is an historic occasion, perhaps the last opportunity for many to see Hull City at this level.

Swansea City isn't sensible because it will be a low attendance anyway and implies we are stronger than we are. It also gives the Allams the opportunity to close some stands thereby saving money on stewarding costs.

The 15th of December is the closing date for objections to the Allams application to install a gate to stop people walking past the stadium to get to the town centre from West Park. I asked people to lodge an objection on this board, Amber Nectar and CI. Mine will go in closer to the 15th. There have been two public objections, one of which was the result of my request. I have a promise of another one. I see it as a way of stopping them getting what they want. You don't even have to live in Hull to lodge an objection. It doesn't cost a penny, you just send Hull City Council an e-mail and its likely to take less than 10 minutes of anyone's time. Not a huge sacrifice, in my opinion, if you want to stand up to the Allams and stop them doing what they want.

If we're getting beaten 4 or 5 after the first leg, I don't think a boycott will say anything come to think of it.
 
Just read on CI that the mystery of who was providing inside info to a few itk's on here was Nick Thompson. Who was in with Peter Grieve. Is that correct?
