    What, they've given it away for one pound in the last 24 hours (and ****ed off further than anyone has ever ****ed off before in the whole history of ****ing off). Fantastic.

    Were they a separate entity to CTWD?

    Most of them singing wouldn't even have been members of CTWD, so singing 'We're City Till We Die' would've been inaccurate. There's that 'We' again :wink:

    Never straightforward at City is it? I used to sing City Til I Die whilst wearing a City TIL We Die scarf.
    There again we are the fans who used to sing give us a C, give us an I, give us a T, give us a Y and then announce what we had got from those 4 letters was The Tigers. Leaving opposition fans to deduce that Hull’s lower standing on the education tables was no surprise in that case.

    What a crock that lot is.

    Quote me where I blame anyone other that the Allams.

    Time and circumstances change. I thought (some years ago) that a mass boycott could have served a purpose. I only attended away games. Not much is the same now, so I think it is wise to reassess and take a different tack.

    Personal principles seem to be very important to you. Why do you believe, that when I take a thought through change to my approach, my personal principles are compromised. What abject nonsense you spew on here.

    Nobody has told you to do anything, so grow up and get down off that incredibly high horse.

    Discussion is wasted on you. You actually remind me of another principalled, unbending arrogant fool and he owns the club..

    Bye. <doh>

    It's not a blame game. (Sorry your words again). You can’t stick for something for a proper 24hours now, not even an Allam one.

    I hope you stamped your feet when you’d finished that.

    Toodle pip.

    I don't which is the reason why we gave up our memberships. Our memberships went up to around £70 per month, which is a bit more than £9 a month.

    I think there’s been something lost in translation during this discussion with Kemps and Chazz.?
    It sounded like it was £9 a game, when actually it’s £9 a week all year.
    £36 a month, or £72 a month for a couple (I think that’s what you’ll be paying?)
    Personally I find it distasteful anyone proclaiming how cheap it is and saying that anyone can’t possibly stop because of the cost, as everyone’s circumstances are different, but I genuinely think this was a confused assumption on prices.

    I could be wrong...I was once before (when I thought I’d made a mistake but it turned out I hadn’t...;) )

    Olm quoted cheaper. Sorry but if you can't afford less than 36 a month then football really shouldn't be your priority anyway.
    Why is it distasteful. I've been pretty skint at times. And I stopped going, became creative with going out for a drink, etc etc.
    Life's tough at times.
    Personally I think obi is being dramatic and there are other reasons at play, lost interest whatever. Sorry but that's my opinion

    Three years ago I took early retirement because my job was abolished. It was that or being made redundant. My income fell by more than half. I got a lump sum which, with a little creative accounting, might be enough to last until I get my old age pension. I'm not skint but soon could be if I keep spending at the rate I have been.

    Over the three years I reduced my expenditure significantly and still there's less savings at the end of the month than the beginning. I don't drink. I occasionally eat out, father's day and my wife's birthday. Both paid for by my children. We got rid of the car so Hull City is our biggest expenditure after the utilities, council tax, and groceries. An extra £30 odd a month was too much to pay for both of us.

    No problem.
    As I said if you can’t afford that imho
    Then you really shouldn’t even be thinking about going.
    If it is then life’s dealt you a **** hand and that’s nowt to do with hull city no matter who are the owners, as I said I’ve been too skint to go so I didn’t go.

    So somebody explains why they can't afford to go and somebody else says that in their opinion that can't be right <doh>
