Hull City gradually losing the battle for hearts and minds...

Now my memory may be failing a bit here .. and forgive me if I'm wrong .. but despite Barmby being a playing legend for the club I seem to recall us finishing lower then when he took over .. I also seem to recall him stating to the press we didn't need Billy Sharp when he was literally begging to come here .. then at the end of the season fell out with the ****wits by suggesting they didn't support him in the transfer market .. I'm not privvy to the internal politics but it's just the way I recall it. Please feel free to correct my memory.

 

Agreed. Apart from I think we finished eighth or ninth, same as when he took over.

 

For some reason Chazz I seem to recall us being in a play off spot or one place outside of it tbh .. but as I said I can't 100% remember tbf

 

I have always taken an interest in City (watching out for the scores etc) but didn't start going to matches until they moved to the KC. I have heard of lots of long standing supporters not going to matches anymore. I still go but if this season we lose the majority of games and I go to matches with no expectation of winning then I will question whether I want to go as there will just be no enjoyment in it. Now a lot of people say well you support your team through good times and bad and hark back to the bad times at Boothferry Park and how they stuck with it. I am really interested in knowing how this current situation differs from those bad days of the past. Who did some people stick with it then but now can't. Is it just the toxic atmosphere around the owners?

 

Through the bad times of Lloyd .. Hinchcliffe etc.. there was no money .. we were a lower league give away to anyone who saw a potential chance to launder money or sell off the grounds to build a sports centre. But even through those bad times concessions remained .. despite at one point being locked out of the stadium at one point. This just unified the fans to get behind the likes of the great escape. We were shyte tbh and we knew it but still stood firmly behind the team. Alas this is a totally different animal we have at the helm .. These people are vindictive lying scheming scumbags .. they fall out with anyone who dares challenge their so called authority and demands .. a pair of sulky schoolkids who want to take their ball home. They have sought to manipulate and divide and to a certain extent they have succeeded with the fans. To me this pair are so vindictive they are likely to take us into administration in order to spite the City .. the council .. and the fans .. yet still claim to be the best run club in the country .. #deluded

 

absofuckinglutely!

 

Wasn't sure .. but I do recall us being higher.. as I said memory fail

 

The bus pass age is still 60 in several parts of the country - including London I believe.

 

In the job - his first in management- for about 6 months and one transfer window?

Remember his first game away at Derby, storming win with Cameron Stewart scoring a very good goal.

 

we haven't scored a goal v derby in the last 3 matches

 

Has NB spoken yet about his time in charge? will he ever?
The Billy Sharp episode was odd, I always suspected NB was being used as a stop-gap very unfairly and not supported in the transfer window

 

I completely agree with the principle of sticking by your club through thick and thin.

This isn't about success or failure it's about morales, it's about what is right and wrong. It is completely wrong for the Allams to take advantage of Pensioners and Children's love of football to fleece them drive. They are some of the most vulnerable people in society. It is totally unacceptable to remove local sports clubs from a local sporting facility spoiling it for hundreds of children.

For me this is no longer about football. It is about whether I as a person can accept these disgusting actions (There are so many more examples I can use) of people owning our club. I can't. What they have done is wrong. I will boycott and I will not go to another home game until they are gone.

A football club should be built around the community and helping people unite for a shared passion of football.

To me my morales, principles and my belief in right and wrong are far more important than going to home games to watch Hull City.

I will show my support by going to 22 away games and all cup away games. But I won't give another penny to those owners.

(Yes I am missing one away league game for cricket, shoot me)

 

Couldn't resist. I missing my fix as there's no FNMT tonight

 

And I thought Nigel Pearson went back to Leicester by choice, he wasn't sacked. I also thought Nick Barmby said we didn't need Billy Sharp because he didn't rate him ?

 

I do recall that tbh .. however I also recall us losing something like 5 on the bounce sometime around Easter which pretty much buggered our play off chances.

 

not where I live. It's 65.

 

I think different authorities have their own rules. I got mine at 63 because being born before a certain date invokes one set of rules, born after that it's a different set.

 

60 for me.
