500 posts up on a thread is quite healthy seeing as we have another one of those ****ty international weekends approaching!
I said associated with, i.e. in support of through voting on polls, buying badges/scarves etc. Or don't you consider supporters of the campaign to be associated with CTWD? You also know I didn't mean you and definitely not Obi.
Makes me wonder if AA has got some Far east investor (Chinese mega billionaire or investment company) that will make him look like Bill Gates's paperboy, lined up to invest a **** load of money into the club as soon as the name change goes through...Hmmmhhhhhh I wish..
It'd be easier just to sayit was a condition of sale wouldn't it? I wouldn't like it, but you can guarantee a fair few would sell out at that price.
A lengthy interview (18 mins) with Allam here, not sure if this has been posted yet? http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/story/2013-11-12/hull-owner-moves-ahead-with-name-change/
The other worrying thing for me is who does repairs on the stadium now that it is getting on in age? The council don't seem to have a pot to piss in and I don't think Allam will do it out of spite, anyone know who is responsible?
The stadium management company. Assem Allam needs to keep it up to scratch so we can play Premier League football there. He has spent a substantial amount of money already getting ready for this season.
"Can't help you with the history." Oh dear." Only 500 against the name change." Oh dear "£11m in January for a striker." Hurray!!!
To be fair, Allam is going to give all the campaigners the opportunity to vote with their feet next season where they can refuse to buy a hull tigers season pass. For me the most important part of the 18 minute interview was the confirmation that we are going to spend at least 5 million on a new striker in January. Happy days.
Why is the choice of not buying a season pass fair when it didn't have to come to this if he didn't meddle in things he has no knowledge of like the history of the club?.
His tactic is clear. His real research has shown the campaign group to be between 200 to 500. So for this minority of customer, he is happy for them to **** off. This level of anti-protest will not hurt the company financially in the bigger picture.
200 to 500? You are ****ing deluded if you believe that to be true. Though you are a ******, so I can't blame you.
If it was my father and/or business partner, I think I'd be having some words, even if it's only about the PR impact this must be having on a personal level.
I thought the Humberside and ITV interviews were bad but the 5 Live one was much worse. I've said it before but how can anyone take him seriously. Who would want to invest in this club with him in charge. It is a good job Steve Bruce is mild mannered because I bet he has to bite his tongue sometimes. So he will give us a chance to vote by not buying a season pass. He knows full well that we all love the football, that is why we go so he has got us over a barrel. I am very very tempted not to renew my season pass but like I said I want to support the team. When we have shirts saying Hull Tigers will you all rush to buy them because he will not get a penny from me and this is the way we can make a protest. No to Hull Tigers keep on producing stuff for people to buy as an alternative. Wouldn't put it past him to ban anyone from wearing this stuff either. The sheer arrogance of the man. The few people on here defending him because he put money into the club ought to be ashamed of themselves. He is treating everyone with utter contempt. As for doing good works in Hull, its easy to throw your money around when you are rich to try and buy popularity. Can't you see he does it to feed his ego, nothing more than that. As for being a Doctor. I work with Doctors every day and I would not compare him to them at all.
Correction....he is treating a couple of hundred big gobs with contempt. It's an interesting tactic. I.e. For him to appeal for the support of the silent majority to get the protest group to shut up .
