    We are not alone...

    CARD‏ @CharltonCARD
    We were disgusted to hear that Roland Duchâtelet, our billionaire owner, is no longer willing to pay for academy players to drink water or eat breakfast at the club’s training ground. #cafc

    They missed off the following from every single paragraph there:

    "And do **** all about it".

    Great piece in the online edition of the Blackpool Gazzette.
    Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt wades into the owners of Blackpool FC and his views are well worth a read. If only more Chairman held his views.

    There's another transfer deadline on Friday. I expect a story to appear on here soon about potential new owners.

    We don't have a program now, so he can't pretend to be going.

    Same, although he'd still get **** off some of our fans on Twitter, same as he does from a handful of Posh ****s.

    He does deal with them pretty well mind.

    Has anybody tried starting a crowdfunding page for this? Might generate a bit of money for loan fees.

    How about a bake sale? Lemonade stand? Or are those things too American?

    Cake sales are done by little old ladies for a local charity over here, usually church related.

    Literally no one in the UK would buy lemonade from someone standing on a street.

    Also, literally no one with any amount of money will buy Hull City. Even the fans.

    Just thinking about the crest debacle.
    Now into September and ........ nothing. Charade, shambles, lies.
    I've never liked the new crest, and never will. Not only because of the way it was done and the whole sorry backcloth behind the era that it's come out of. But also because of the absolute ridiculousness of the design with the 1 904.
    I heard a Vauxhall motors advert on the radio this morning. Since 1906 or something. I thought, so what? And then quickly turned to thoughts about our crest. 1 904. So what? Nearly all clubs are from around that time, give or take 10 or 20 years. It is absolutely nothing special, so why the hell have it as the only words on the crest? Had we be one of the first clubs formed (in 18whatever) then maybe there's something to point out, to mark, to be proud of. But 1 904 is nothing special. It's utterly ridiculous.
    Please just give us our previous perfect crest back, and by all means then leverage the hell out of our great, proud nickname 'The Tigers', whilst respecting our tradition by calling us by our proper name. It really should be so simple.
