    Thank god someone is talking about football, results. And in a positive way. I read some of the issues raised on here and I want to call the Samaritans! Enjoyed last night whilst disappointed by the outcome. We are still in the mix but now need to win at Brentford. Not impossible. Its a disgrace imo that fans are not supporting the players in what has been an exceptional season so far considering.

    Recommend Jason Vale Stop Smoking app (or book).
    I think it might even now be free.
    And make a decision. A real decision.
    Good luck, you can do it.

    You mention it all the time , then refuse to explain when asked genuine questions

    It wasn't a clash of personalities it was a matter of principle and solidarity between Hull City supporters.

    E1 to E3 had very few season tickets vacant which made it difficult for the ulltras to become a critical mass. They had a good relationship with the club because of the away tickets they bought. Moving to the North Stand enabled hem to get more passes in a block. How much communication there was between the ulltras and the club about the move I don't know. One of the key organisers of the ulltras was on the CTWD committee. As was at least one other supporter of the move who posts on here. It was unlikely that CTWD would have campaigned against the move, even if we'd had the energy.

    The principle is straightforward: supporters should not be moved like pieces of meat without consultation and some form of consent. Having moved E1 to E3 they then did the same to Upper West.

    First paragraph : There was no solidarity, as such, between supporters. There was a difference in opinion.

    Second paragraph : The move should never have happened, in hindsight, I don't think anyone now disputes that and CTWD only had one remit anyway. We should stay Hull City AFC. Jobs a goodun <ok>

    Third paragraph : No arguments.

    I just think there's a feeling amongst some that it was CTWD who ****ed it up and were to blame for this, which is utter bollocks.

    Maybe in the future, yall could take up your grievances with the Allams and not with fellow fans.

    Just saying <ok>

    It's YOU that keeps claiming that, despite what those involved post, which makes it rather meaningless.

    Just saying.

    Cheer up SCT. Samaritans? FFS. Things aren't that bad are they? And to refer to the current supporter situation as a 'disgrace' is rather missing something.

    I agree there was no solidarity between supporters. There should have been though.

    CTWD was in the process of becoming the Trust and didn't see the move as an issue for whatever reasons. Whether it should have been an issue is open for legitimate debate in my view.

    I have always taken my grievances up with the Allams in the past and will do in the future because it looks like they'll be around for a very long time.

    Biggest problem we have is apathy,not that it’s anything new of course but it’s still here and quite frankly it’s embarrassing at best. I usually refrain from knocking City’s support because having stood on the Kempton as a lad since the 70s I rubbed shoulders with many who turned up week after week watching ****e at Fer Ark and they did it out of dedication and pure loyalty,something you probably won’t ever see again,certainly not whilst live football is easily available on th Tv. Some of those lads have drifted away,some still go and a few still travel home and away. Point is yes,the pricing policy is scandalous,but the Allams soon realise our ranks could easily be split when huge sections of our newly found support gave the protesters the finger,whilst many more thought it funny to point supporters out who refused to stay quite or god forbid sit down yet think nothing of walking out the ground if we are losing. I make no apologies for admitting I still attend,I make sure not one penny goes into the Allams Coffers on a match day and whilst I don’t travel away these days simply due to a financial commitment,these pair of clowns with zero interests in football whatsoever and probably 10 K plastic ****s won’t stop me supporting a club who according to this very website and others,should of been dead and buried at Christmas.


    **** you Allams.

    Whatever the 'Ultras' group said or wanted, the public line from the club at the time was that the stand moves were called for by Steve Bruce after Aluko had missed a penalty in front of a North stand full of Sunderland fans trying, successfully as it turned out, to put him off.

    Now it isn't hard to believe that the club don't always tell the truth, but the suggestion that the club used the Ultras as an excuse to move people is simply not true. It was never attributed to them, but to the manager at the time.

    The manager thing was as much bollocks then as it is now. It was a ridiculous and implausible attempt at an excuse and I didn't think anyone still swallowed it.

    Maybe they don't, maybe they do. But it's a fact that the club gave that line rather than attributing it to the Ultras.

    No I don't.

    There's really no need to read anything more into what I posted.
