Can’t we have a conversation about anything without descending into name calling it’s like ****ing play school on here sometimes, you wouldn’t do it to my face so give up, I have my opinion on tickets, you may disagree, it does not mean either of us are right.

Hull City fans are probably the most fickle ****ers in the EFL, turn up when doing ok, run a mile when we aren’t, me and quite a few others have turned up nearly every game for many years, 51 in my case, thick and thin, mostly thin, and when the club is offering cheaper tickets to day trippers when we are doing well, yet not even a Christmas card, remember them, or a free pie maybe to passholders, then I’m perfectly entitled to question why.

I don’t think it’s a fair point at all, in fact, I’d say that Acun’s got all the ticket pricing and offers bang on since day one.

Well I think it is a fair point.I'm quite content paying the £20 and for membership holders to enjoy their seat at a cheaper price for their loyalty over the years.

He's filling the stadium with fidgeting kids,hoping they'll all buy a burger...

He won’t be making much money of ticket sales the money will be made from kids buying burgers and judging by the queues in the concourses I’d say that’s working

While we're on the subject, is it just me who thinks the grub on offer looks revolting? Too much sauce for a start. I'd never swap my pre match pattie for anything anyway, but I'm always surprised at the rave reviews the stuff they sell at the ground gets

By way of explanation:

Around 1980 I attended a gig, at Hull City Hall, with my then girlfriend, to enjoy the splendors of national-treasures-to-be Squeeze supported by the incomparable Wreckless Eric. Squeeze were good but Eric was magnificent, formidable, outstanding.

Waiting outside the venue for her Dad, a taxi driver, to pick us up, we were confronted by a run of the mill Hull pisshead, hellbent on picking a scrap with someone.

He stared me in the face, and screamed 'I'm a ****ing miserable bastard me, like'.

This is a bit of a no win situation. If you reply 'yes, you look the part', he's gonna deck you.

If you reply, 'oh no sir, you appear relatively happy to me', he's going to deck you anyway.


He decked me.

He then decked my girlfriend.


This, not unsurprisingly, led to an argument along the lines of I could have (a) handled the situation a bit better or (b) defended her a bit better.

Me pointing out that defending her a bit better was severely hindered by the fact that I was spark out at the feet of Queen Victoria cut no ice and we broke up in her Dad's taxi on the drive home.


I moved to Sunderland in 1986 and to Newcastle in 1992.

On innumerable occasions in the last 40 odd years I've met both Mackems and Geordies, who, with a drink inside them, will argue black is white, red is white, the Earth is flat, or Chemtrails are actually a thing, until they make that drunken knob outside the City Hall look like a considered and rational bloke.


Don't try to reason with them, it's not worth it.

I was at that gig. It wasn't me by the way, I'm not like that.

I was starving at half time. Made the mistake of getting some waffle fries. He didn't use the full name to sell them (very salty and spicey waffle fries). He musta known I wouldn't have bought them if he had.

I couldn't comment on the grub served up at home games,my cousin always makes me a big breakfast before I go for a pint and I'll grab something on the way home.

I usually have a couple of pies at away games cos I haven't eaten all day but they're usually ****!!!

Some of the stuff I’ll agree is hit or miss. I’m a personal fan of the Katsu fries they do however

I haven’t particularly indulged in the new fare, (it just seems wrong) but it’s definitely popular with the younger supporters. Our sears are at the end of a row, because we aren’t very punctual at the start and then one of us leaves early for half timers, so avoids disturbing everyone. I never thought we’d have to encounter the almost continuous stream of people from our row going to/from the concourse in the first half on Boxing Day! All carried trays of food back. If we weren’t already standing, it would have been a real pain. We noticed one fella went back for seconds and then thirds. At one point, we realised that of around a dozen people in the row immediately in front of us, all except one was eating a tray of food.
Is this a culture change in football, or just at MKM? Or are we just surrounded by a large group intent on eating their way to improving City’s ffp position?

Good business to fill the stadium on twenty quid tickets then scale up the food offering to make up on the ticket revenue shortfall.
