Just cancelled mine x 2 this morning via e mail. I’ve tried phoning quite a few times but with no reply. Not going to matches will really hurt, but it needs to be done.
Decent sized survey (1,952). Damning verdict on owners, McCann, memberships. Around half cancelling. Another 1 quarter undecided (& that's before the recent announcement and the continuing silence). It's literally falling apart. Allam's will have to do something significant. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/hull-city-supporter-survey-results-4383577 Hull City fans deliver damning verdict on owners, Grant McCann and want change - Big Hull City survey 2020 results Our Big Hull City Survey 2020 results in full (1,952 fans took part) Q1: Following Hull City’s relegation to League One, who do you hold primarily responsible?

Obviously if each question had a choice ending “with the Allam family continuing to lead the club” the results would have been different. FACTAFUCKINGMONDO
2,000. That's about what will be left of our attending fan base (and that's being optimistic). It's a bloodbath.
I guess they've had lots of cancellations and decided that they will try to milk them for 2 months payments.
Plus that’s when they’ll be worried about a second wave causing a drain on the NHS as it’s when they’re getting busy anyway with winter illnesses
On a positive note, at least City are now well set to comply with social distancing, as so many won't be going within miles of the stadium.
Whilst that’s true for next season if you tag August and September payments onto that season, it does mean members will have paid more for the season just finished as payments were taken in March and April but no games were seen. Normally, 2 months have payments taken where no games are played. The season just gone had double that. June and July before the season started and March and April at the end of it.
Aren’t the other things included benefits/bonuses like the match card points, priority tickets to cup games etc? I can’t remember what else they throw in with the card. Car park passes and passes into the dugout bars are add ons.
That's what a normal person would so, but we are dealing with the Allam's, no one tells them how to run their business.
Four years after its first announcement, the benefits package for members is still mostly awaited. They’ve been pulled up by trading standards for this already, I think.
They have. I may have grassed them up to both Trading Standards and the Football Ombudsman. Both agreed the club hadn't provided the advertised benefits.
Outside of the usual suspects, what ****ing psychopath thinks we're still worth £40m? 3% of the fans who filled it in makes 70 people. Is that all of the Allams' extended family?
Always sceptical of these surveys simply because anyone can can cause mischief by filling it in. I know because I've been guilty of it myself in the past. Once filled in a Hull FC related survey about the old boulevard ground and the best times/games/atmospheres there etc. Mine was a pisstake and my best memory was the all time record low crowd of 800 for a league game v Huyton. 99% of the other posts were about beating HKR or the BBC 2 Floodlit trophy. They printed mine word for word in the special edition pull out, signed T.B.Larrde, Boulevard, Hull.
I don't think the reinstating of membership payments has anything to do with the number of cancellations, I understand club staff were told to announce the resumption of payments in August before Ehab went on holiday and he's not bothered getting in touch since.
