Preparing for the future, especially if he has big plans. Doubling the capacity of the stadium when we're fighting relegation sounds like a crazy idea. How many other clubs in our position have expanded their stadium?
He's going to give 50% of shares in the company away to the fans, plus one single extra share which is under the control of Barchullona.
I can't see him doing that, my bet is he will have much lower admission charges or give a small percentage of the club's shares to fan groups.
Apparently we are joining the Turkish League as their first English franchise... please log in to view this image
Maybe we could make a list of crazy things that have already happened at other clubs around the world, and use that as the starting point.
Strippers (although not during the match of course, but after the final whistle in corporate boxes), hotdog trains and beer pump fitted to your seat https://www.thelocal.de/20110120/32557/ https://metro.co.uk/2010/09/30/hot-dog-train-attracting-new-fans-to-fc-st-pauli-530472/
The Boot! Survivor Challenge! Thousands of amateur footballers will compete on a primetime TV show to win one of 11 professional football contracts to play in the English Championship (subject to confirmation). Unsigned players from around the world are invited to take part in open auditions (sorry trials) in the hope of being selected for the knockout stages. Finalists will be flown to a desert island where they'll be filmed taking part in a series of bizarre football related survival games under the watchful eyes of Tony Pennock and Bear Grylls. The 11 winners will make up the first 11 playing for Hull City in the Championship (subject to conformation) next season.
To be clear I was just starting Dutch’s list of wacky things club’s have done. I wasn’t suggesting we should do those things*, although I’d be fascinated to see the Trust’s consultation on stripping getting to the bottom of the whole empowerment v exploitation debate. *apart from beer pumps in your seat…we should definitely do that!
