    How 'dramatically'? Surely the people who have kept paying throughout the pandemic deserve concessions? If the Club were to start letting people in for buttons then it would be failing to recognise the loyalty of 5 or 6 thousand who stuck by them.

    I would think members who held their memberships through last season should get at least a free month or two of the membership for the next season, and non-members should be offered half-price tickets for the first two home games with kids free.

    Easy scheme to say thanks for the loyalty last season and a way to entice people back. Two games is sufficient as a way to say thank you and entice people back I would think.

    Here in Aus there was no free games offered, but we did get to go into a ballot for a game last season where 200 of us were in attendance with free food and booze so that was our thanks.

    Mel Morris at derby is worse than the Allams..... how?

    Cardiff chairman got it wrong with the colour change but he corrected it. Not sure what he’s done wrong since (I might have missed something though)

    I've been very slowly falling out of love with the professional game for the last few years and the enforced break has started me wondering whether I will ever go back to it. It started when I found myself having to drag myself to games and when I contrast that with watching amateur football I'm struggling to justify shelling out £30 a ticket.

    I don't accept that any of those owners are worse than ours, in fact, some of them should nowhere near a poor owners list.

    The Oystons were worse than the Allams, possibly SISU and Duchâtelet as well (Championship only, there's been others in the lower leagues), but none of those you've listed have been as bad as the Allams.

    I guess that's the beauty of perspective.

    If I were told tomorrow that any of those owners were taking over from the Allams, I'm not sure it would fill me with excitement.

    What a pointless statement - he’s not about to start supporting another Championship club is he?

    None of the owners you list took their clubs into the Premier League and to an FA Cup Final under their ownership.

    Who do you think owned Blackpool when they got to the Premier League?

    Allam never accepted he got it wrong with the name change and still calls us it whenever he can, from engraving it on replica trophies, to every bit of club content still being put out on hullcitytigers.com.

    Whenever he can? When did he, genuinely interested. replica trophies?
    from Buckingham last season

    You’ve mentioned the things you’ve done to draw fans back – the badge, use of the name, concessions – but there’s still a strained relationship. How does that possibly heal with you in charge?

    They say time is a good healer and if you look at our actions we’ve done a lot to try and put things right. There’s not much more we can do. It’s a strained relationship with the ownership but we have done a lot to realign the club with what supporters want.

    At least now there’s no barrier between fans and supporting their team. With some fans I don’t think you can ever get that relationship back because of us but we’ve shown we’re open to rebuilding bridges.

    I can’t control how other people feel about us but irrespective of that there’s no barrier to supporting your team.

    Obviously a **** owner with no intention to sell then? Probably wants a double relegation like Allam did...

    I might think he has when the website gets renamed and that ****ing abomination of a plaque on the trophy gets changed.
    If he really had he could have simply said so and changed everything...easy

    What’s that supposed to prove?
    Perfect example of an opportunity to say ‘I genuinely thought changing the name was a good idea, but I didn’t realise how many fans didn’t want to, so everything will be changed back to Hull City AFC’...then actually do it.

    Obviously can’t bring myself to ‘like’ this, but completely agree with it being abhorrent
