To be honest that would be ****ing hilarious Get people to wear the team were playings kit too itd be ****ing bedlam boots shinpad the lot , names and numbers on the back hahahahhaha
We need to hijack the COC launch party/ceremony on January 1st next year. Queen Vic Square rammed with "ALLAM OUT" banners and every City fan giving it the biggun' with the national press and TV everywhere. 1 month to plan it. (assuming the ****s are still here of course)
But no brain or backbone. Also I understand his polo pony is somewhat special in that it has a **** on it's back.
Pretending to be a Dr having bought an honorary doctorate when the uni needed a new building buying Referring to an interest bearing loan as a gift while Mike Ashley's interest free loans seem him derided at Newcastle The fact all this **** started because they through a paddy when the Council wouldn't work with them and they just expected us to blindly follow them Die when we want, and stop being disruptive by singing songs you've sung for years and carrying provocative banners with things like "We are Hull City" on them whilst we make another shockwave with a press release the day before a big game May - 2 sponsors lost due to name change refusal, June - 1 sponsor lost, August - No sponsors ever spoke to us about the name change having any bearing on things Misappropriation of £200k ASI fund Deletion of current identity just from anything they can get away with removing it from because they're not allowed to do it to the team itself 24 hours being a period of time that even Kiefer Sutherland has to stop and rest in Threat to increase ticket prices if we didn't back them in vote when they were always going to go up as the two decisions should be unrelated. Bribery of Greg Dyke, unless Dyke was genuinely just being racist when he dismissed the name change the first year before deciding it was a good idea the next year. Attempts to defraud the Council, admitted but not pursued, which may or may not have soemthing to do with being a 7 figure Labour Party donor and it being a Labour council Forcibly moving fans from their seats to other areas Huge increase in ticket prices followed by cut in prices back to original levels using kids/oaps/disabled fans to subsidise adults in breach of PL rules Eviction of and stealing from AirCo Arena community teams Feigning an intention to sell, wasting the time of others and stifling protests as "they are going, just support the team now" attitudes
Promising a charity friendly match with Al-Ahly to raise money for the victims of the Port Said disaster purely as a publicity stunt to try and look generous, but not actually having the match. That'd be wholly inconvenient of course.

If you let people treat you like **** who's fault is it? The people treating you like **** or you for letting them? The name change we did something about it and won. The north east evictions we did nothing because large numbers agreed with it. Dutch Mountain Dog was the only person on either board who showed any sustained opposition. The Airco Arena evictions nothing as organised supporters again. A number of supporters offered support on the match day protest. 6 people attended the second protest, only two of them Hull City supporters, one of whom was me. The partial closure of the upper west and the membership scheme, we held up red cards for three matches but bottled the home leg against Derby County and Wembley. Since the first home game (or was it the second I can't remember) we've done nothing. No social media campaign, no press releases, no pressure on the Premier League, no pressure on the club, not a peep. Our name: we have passively accepted what we've been given No sustained attempt to get the club to call us Hull City AFC. We have no banners or flags with our name on it laid on the empty seats, no scarves with our name on it, nothing. No mass protests, no social media campaign, silence. The Allams have lent £70 million to Hull City to pay for a successful football team. The team and the management aren't perfect but they've risked their life savings on bringing success to Hull City. They haven't screwed us into the ground like Bartlett. They haven't sold us to someone who used the club's own money and huge debts to buy us like Pearson and Wilkinson did. They are pigheaded and stubborn but they aren't the problem, we are. We can't get them to call us Hull City and re-introduce concessions so how do you expect them to give up £30 or £40 million by forcing them to sell up? I'm past caring whether they stay or go. I simply want my club back. I have plenty of ideas on how we can try to do that, but they doesn't involve marching down their street, sending them **** through the post or taking the piss out of Ehab. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image TedLloyd 2589 posts First used 18/07/16 please log in to view this image Hull City Lot of truth in this post,we roll over to easy at times.
I've tried to keep out of this for a number of reasons, but here goes for my two pennerth. I'm starting to feel like nostradamus, as my predictions have turned out to be sadly accurate, but no doubt I'll still be called a ****. The current campaign is following a well trodden route tried unsuccessfully by others. One of my drums still holds true, the trust simply do not communicate with people. They've taken up a couple of my suggestions, in the ridicule and clothing, but they haven't done it very well, and the timing is wrong and the message is mixed. It reads more like an ultimatum from a group with no cards in their hand. It is also dividing fans. Some have become obsessed in a personal crusade against the Allams, instead of a crusade to support Hull City. I had high hopes when Geoff got involved, but on the face of it, nothing has changed. It's still the inner cabal presenting their decisions to the plebs with little to no two way dialogue. Bigger and better have tried these things and failed, Blackpool's been mentioned, but Leeds, Swansea and Newcastle also fell short. To me, the message is the current tactics are not working, so we need something else. If the fans want to run the club, they should buy it, or at least demonstrate who they speak for. In my view, a better way forward is to look at where we are, change what we can, but be realistic about what that is and look for the opportunities the situation presents. The empty seats and lack of desire for a boycott, is an opportunity to find out what fans want from their match day experience, and draw like minded people together for a shared, unified experience. Make the KC a fun place to go, rather than a whine palace. If a group can show that they can not only demonstrate they understand what fans want, but create something in spite of all that's going on, it's a positive message to present to the owner or a potential owner and it could make the matchday more fun in the process. There's an opportunity for an UNofficial Hull City clothing brand to do a reasonable trade. All showing how communication and marketing can be done. If done right, the media message writes itself, "this is what fans say the didn't like, this is what fans did, and this shows it works" the owner becomes irrelevant. I also think this is best achieved by uniting fans and fan groups, not some daft competition for dominance between supporters or supporters groups.
I agree with much of what you've written Dutch. Your version of being realistic may be slightly different to mine though. I wouldn't call it an unofficial Hull City brand, I'd just use Hull City AFC on everything produced and sold. There are a generation of children who want to wear black and amber but are denied the opportunity to have our name on it. I presume the club owns the trade mark for the old badge but there's nothing stopping us designing a new badge with our full name on it to use on the merchandise. We don't need the Allams permission to make attending the KC fun. We just do it ourselves. There's plenty of space to do it in as well. We have half a block of the upper West to fill with our flags and banners from yester-year, all proclaiming we are Hull City AFC. Personally I think we should do it for the Palace home game. Yes we need the permission of the club and some hardy souls to sit up there and look after them. A refusal would highlight the empty seats and seem spiteful. A yes would bring a lot of colour back to an empty unused space.
Other than the fact that the club owns a trade mark registration in the names... Hull City AFC Hull City AFC 'The Tigers' Hull Tigers Hull City Tigers 1904 Along with registrations for the old badge, the new badge and the tigers head.
They don't use Hull City AFC though. I'll check with my mate about whether they can hold a trade mark they don't use.
