    Yeh I know you would rather...I’m not criticising you for that

    And I did say I hadn’t looked at older people prices

    I have only ever supported Hull City and have never said otherwise. Who the **** are you to question that in relation to the concession vote?

    Agreed - but wasn't that always the Allam plan?

    It's equally as stupid a question as the 'concession' vote.

    By the way isn’t that the same thing that Ehab said when the current scheme came in?
    There are cheaper prices, but you’ll just have to move seats to get them !

    This is the box of chocolates Ehab is offering whether it’s concessions or anything else.

    As the trust or OSC has not come out and said to abstain and it will show lack of support for the offer up to now, it is no longer an option as many have already voted for the principle of concession not the actual offer, not voting can only now be seen as not bothered

    Voting for concessions AND cancelling one's membership at the same time would send a strong message I would imagine.

    Such a strategy should be encouraged through the media (press ads and some sort of web-site poll to gather stats on volumes "voting" this way and for giving their reasons for cancellation). The stats from the poll could be published in the media.

    A sudden drop in attendance at home games would be noticed and the reasons driven home. Potential new owners would be made aware of the strong sentiments of the supporters. Would the Allams be worried about the impact on the potential sale price of the club ?

    Is there enough time before the ballot to do this ? Would there be a high enough uptake by supporters willing to terminate their memberships ?

    Of course, the Allams may not give a damn if they feel that by the end of next season they can get enough out of the club even if relegated and no buyer emerges.

    Not sure you are right, as those who advocate voting for it and also use extended social media report (on here) that there is a groundswell of abstainers that concerns them.

    The Trust, as far as I'm concerned, have a confused and now difficult task to reconcile their activity within the meetings, to responding to the inevitable manipulation and sham offer. The OSC is a charitable fund-raiser and not a standard-bearer of principles to the club.

    But there could have been an earthquake of abstainers if the trust had called it before people voted and now it's too late.As for the OSC I hadn't realised they don't have any opinions on anything and just support the club and owner no matter what.

    There might of been and it's not too late.

    When the OSC agree with the club they say so, when they disagree, they stay silent. It's an official marriage of convenience.

    Not very convenient for those supporters who join expecting to be represented at meetings.
