Is this an example of 'Fill in the Blank'? The schoolbook-regurgitation stuff on here about the historicity of mythical figures, though, is soporific if not coma-inducing.
Of course. An alternative rendition would be 'the stuff consisting of the regurgitation of material from a schoolbook'. I guess that may be more your style. Or, were you misreading the word as 'schoolboy'?
I'm not the crowd czar. It would be great if the stadium was fuller or even full. Would it or would it not?
Utter bllx. It is the allams club until they sell up and then it becomes someone elses. The only way it will become our club is with a fan base takeover, and that will never happen. Used the allams as an excuse? What bloody planet are you on. Don't you see what is going on at the club or are you just oblivious to it all?
I think you make an excellent point. I restarted attending some City games back in the Championship. Personal circumstances (work/family/sporting) had changed freeing up some slack time on Saturdays; this coincided with the club's later progression. There were other things I could do locally, but such was the buzz, around the team I had always tried to follow, that I made the decision to invest time and money into migrating south on some fairly infrequent Saturdays. I continued this until the name-change debacle. I stopped attending as my own personal point of principle, rather than a protest, as I was fairly anonymous. The only way I would have considerd being a part of a protest would have been if the numbers became really significant, but they didn't. The Battle of the Name-Change was won and I started attending some games last season, very few admittedly, and have attended one this season; although I can't see another happening this side of Xmas - this is due to similar changes in work/social/sporting circumstances that opened up the opportunity for change in the first place. This is how life works. The difference now is that Hull City as a club have become unappealing, with too much ****e surrounding it and it fails to be more important or attractive that other family or social options. I rarely go to a local PL game, as I feel PL football is unedifying and all too often not entertaining. It's a wonderful sport with an open wound caused by the lack of governance of the money it generates. What makes Hull City different is the owners; they are a disease that has taken control and infected our club, which makes it even worse than most others. Maybe that infection will leave, maybe the club will sort itself out, maybe my circumstances will change again, I don't know, but I believe that there are many who live a whole lot closer than my 137 miles who react in the same way.
Quite frankly, at the very outset of the present owners tenure, it would have been difficult to for-see the depths to which they would be prepared to plunge in their quest to impose their will on OUR club and its supporters.
You're pushing it - the Allamites will be at your throat. Not only that, but Castro will be at you for using an illegal hyphen.
On an emotional level I can see why people are claiming City as "their" club. But as they aren't share holders, it isn't really theirs is it? Emotion doesn't pay the bills does it? I mean can you imagine going into Halifax and saying: "Today I feel happy, can you knock £500 off my mortgage please?"
Sadly I was an 'Alamist' during their initial involvement but it is difficult see how anyone could continue being so as their true colours began to emerge.
If you all cast your mind back to when AA 1st took over, I believe that I was the ONLY one that was against it. I was up against people calling him altruistic. He's a business man. Simple.
Everyone originally, well nearly everyone, was an Allamist initially as we were naive enough to believe what he said. One poster on CI cast doubts about him right from the off and was castigated by virtually every other poster but has been vindicated. Someone I know, not a City fan, who had been involved in business dealings with Allam said to me at the time that it is all brightness and light now but it will all end in tears. Another one owed an apology as I told him he was wrong.
