    Fair enough, I was in a busy place when I read that and, without checking back, accept I made a genuine mistake, for which I apologise. My point wasn’t a dig at, Chazz, but simply using his reference, a general election, to draw a line between a political stance and a moral one.

    Are you still undecided?

    The Supporters Committee has no powers it is a forum, the club is not bound by its decisions.
    And as for your last sentence, if that is true for one member of the committee, you must think it is the same for all. Every member of that committee and each group is selected by the club.
    As for the politics, of course there are politics and the OSC learnt from the past mistakes.

    The conditions on children's tickets show this bullshit up for another one of their stupid games.

    If you wish to carry on chasing your own tails and losing by playing along then feel free.

    Ironic eh that something that should be brilliant, ie bringing back concessions, is dividing fans as much as anything else they've done <laugh>

    Funny how I share the same view as OLM on this, it’s kind of brought us together.

    Simple question

    Regarding child/junior prices

    Does anyone really see the following truly as ‘concessions’ because when there was a suggestion that concessions would only apply in certain areas every right minded person was horrified

    Because this is a list of one adult with a selection of young uns compared to now...and I’m horrified

    I adult 1 child
    Z1 cheaper Z2 same price
    1 adult 2 children
    Z1 cheaper Z2 same price
    1 adult 3 children
    Z1 cheaper Z2 same price
    1 adult 1 junior
    Z1 more expensive Z2 more expensive
    1 adult 2 junior
    Z1 same price Z2 more expensive
    1 adult 3 junior
    Z1 cheaper Z2 more expensive

    Someone really doesn’t like anyone in East Stand do they?!

    So as a single adult in Zone 1 that’s not likely to bring kids for a while at least, if I vote for concessions I’d be voting for the people near me to probably get ‘concessions’ for their kids, but for a few to have their costs actually increased AND the people in East Stand to probably have their costs increased, certainly in the long run and for definitely none of them to get cheaper prices ever

    To me that doesn’t really sound like concessions at all

    *ive lost track of West Stand so not sure about there

    Things appear very clear in that nutshell. You’re right, of course.

    That’s because they’re not really concessions

    Bit of a realisation there.

    These 'concessions' are in fact a devious plan to boost the owners bank balance.

    But that's okay because it's merely the principle of having a differentiated child and senior price that matters, not the actual affordability.

    Which is exactly why there should be no ballot response; it’s a shameless sham from the Allams. For the Trust, or action groups, to encourage a vote for these proposals, simply supports that sham. I believe the action groups are unequivocally boycotting the ballot.

    It does seem that way. Is that a big deal for you?

    How much does an over 65 pay in any stand?
    How much does a 16 year old pay in any stand?
    Are there cheap memberships available for Adults with Juniors?

    The fact is that there are concessions available where once there where none and yes it does mean that for some they would have to move to get them.

    I would rather that than no change.

    No not really, by the same token that there is division there is also unity in a view.

    Would you rather be Hull Tigers in the premier league, or Hull City in non league?

    I’m not sure they’re unequivocally boycotting, although they have slagged it off
    The Trust are yet to comment (they said they’d consider over the weekend)

    According to the tweet below (no idea on accuracy) that if this new scheme brought just 17 new members the club will be better off
