    The minutes will be released by the end of today apparently.

    It looks like Ash Durham, the holiday winner, has bought the club's version of events, hook, line and sinker.

    Totally agree, my personal opinion ‘takeover to happen’ start rebuilding the relationships between the club and supporters. Also importantly all certain supporters group to be involved together for the right reasons. I hear it seems ‘to many cooks in the kitchen’ #hcafc

    Hook, line and sinker...

    That's why I don't like Twitter. Fitting in to word limits mean many updates don't make sense. Including that one.

    Exactly, just what the Allam's want is a yes man, really does beggar belief that someone can swallow their drivel.

    Hull City refuse to meet club's major fan group

    please log in to view this image


    Hull City have excluded the largest democratic group at the club from its fan engagement meetings this month, contravening national guidelines on supporter dialogue.

    At the club’s recent Supporters Committee meeting, Hull City Supporters’ Trust (HCST) were barred from attending - due to a dispute between HCST and the club.

    Hull City’s owners are unhappy with the trust’s elected officials and won’t allow the group to take part in their supporter meetings until they are replaced – HCST say this would significantly undermine their independence and democratic legitimacy.

    HCST said this week: “Whilst disappointed with the current stance taken by the club, we wish to remind our members, (and the wider Hull City fan base), that HCST is an independent organisation, fully affiliated to both the FSF and Supporters Direct, (of which we are grateful for their guidance and feedback in recent months), and cannot allow the Club to dictate its board structure and operation.”

    Hull City’s exclusion of a democratic fan group goes against the guidelines set out by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) on ‘structured dialogue’ which were adopted into the EFL rulebook.

    Under EFL rules senior club officials are required to meet supporters or supporter representatives at least twice a season – those attending the meetings must be chosen in line with democratic principles. DCMS guidelines say that supporter trusts should be automatically included.

    HCST said: “It is hard therefore, not to conclude that this is a continued and deliberate delaying tactic by the club to avoid meaningful dialogue on some of the major issues that have upset thousands of Hull City supporters in recent years, which is increasingly evident by the declining attendance figures at home matches.”

    The FSF will be taking this issue up directly with senior EFL officials at one of our regular meetings on November 14th. The FSF will also be bringing the case to the attention of DCMS.

    He might be a bit wet, but he's definitely a City fan.

    Yeah but his second team might be Arsenal. Anyone who has a second team is a 'second team ****er'

    What is it that appears "to many cooks in the kitchen"? How many cooks are there in 'the' kitchen? How big is 'the' kitchen'. Is it sufficiently large to accommodate one of those island thingys?

    Or did he simply mean to say 'too'

    Twatter is ****e if it means you cannot spell correctly.


    Or is that education?

    He’s pretty deluded. It’s like he hasn’t grown up and is still star struck by the club and it’s players - comes across as a bit of a fan boy. Happy clapper.


    They must have asked for two fans from each stand that didn’t have a brain:1980_boogie_down:

    BIB: Funnily enough. Somebody asked him why he wasn’t on Facebook and he said his job didn’t allow it. That’s a pretty commonplace rule for those working in education.

    I don't know him or much about him, but I've heard it said before that he's a former Arsenal fan from London who moved north and decided to take up supporting City.

    Why not invite him onto this board, OLM? I'd like a word with him and I'm sure most of us would.
