    Er, no. I think the Allams have been a disaster since 2014 but I think they might now realise they do need the support that they once said was irrelevant and I hoped some might return just to show the manager and players some support, whatever they think of the owners. That's all. Today's attendance not encouraging. I accept a lot wont come back until they leave - just a big shame for the manager.

    Nothing wrong with hoping for that :emoticon-0148-yes:
    Just never gonna be a big supported club !
    If new owners did come in and could push 15,000/16,000 I think that would be very good !

    Leave him alone. He's entitled to an opinion especially when I agree with him :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I wonder how many will come back?

    I wonder what percentage of the ones who no longer attend do so 'because of the current owners' ?

    No one knows.

    My first game today since 2016, atmosphere where l was sat was awful (South /East) a few trying to join in the few hundred in the North /East corner. I felt very much separated from my beloved City, don't know if l want to go again, 3 years of doing other things mainly with my wife and kids made me realise what the Allams tenure has done to me.

    Kingston, the Allam's don't give a **** about us the supporters. If they did Enob would have apologised to some extent. The fact that he/they haven't reeks of paying lip service, in your words "they might now realise they do need the support", to try and boost gate receipts now the parachute gravy train has reached the end of the line. So they can **** right off , and then **** right off again.

    Didn't David Lloyd say "You will always be crap if you play in a run down stadium"? Cue mass umbrage orchestrated by the HDM

    Didn't David Lloyd say "The people of Hull are living in the Dark Ages"?

    People resented the words of this uppity rich Southerner, but I don't recall many people playing the "I aren't coming again, he's really wounded me with those harsh words" card.

    Different times, different fans.

    Lloyd got out, and then the next lot were even worse and bent as owt.

    Just sayin like..

    Are you actually comparing the Allam's with David Lloyd?! **** me. Well yes of course you are. Did he try and change our name, did he remove concessions, turf disabled sports clubs out of a sports hall, tell us we could die whenever we wanted, and so on ad infinitum.............

    Absolutely right, but it never stopped me going, some really awful years before during and after Lioyd but my enthusiasm for City never waned taking me to Runcorn, Witton, Hayes etc.

    Personally, a soundbite from these or any other owners wouldn't stop me attending to support my club.

    Owners come and go.

    That's just one thing, people tire of the whole list, its well known what they have and haven't done.My problem is that any enjoyment I might obtain from going is obliterated by the utter contempt and disdain I have for them, and the awful realization that I might have given them some of my money. At one point Assem said "well they cant object that badly, they still come to games". Well , thats something else he got wrong. I wouldnt give those two ****s the steam off my piss

    Same here.
    Traipsing up and down the country, but always felt connected to the club.
    The Allams put paid to that, time and time again.

    Different strokes for different folks....

    Some hanker for the shower of rust from the Best Stand roof, the bogs behind Kempton, Simon Trevitt's lugs etc.....and don't seem to link the owners of the club in the 90s with that shameful ****ness.

    Yes he did. He changed Hull fc to Hull Sharks and he wanted Hull City to be Hull Tiger Sharks. He used the cash raised from City's league cup run which included our biggest pay day for years, Newcastle away, to refurbish the boulevard which he owned and his intention was to move City there and sell Boothferry Park. He spat his dummy out on several occasions.

    Did they not (or one of them) say the supporters are irrelevant ? Seems inconsistent with the first sentence above, unless I'm missing something ?
