Best to be honest, don't kid yourselves. You lose your integrity if you carry it on as a facade. If its the way you plan to remain I suggest you take my advice and release a statement just to reassure you're pro allam. On the other hand, everyone has to already know about the group by now, and anyone who is going to support the campaign already will be doing. Maybe the only way to further fatten your ranks is by convincing people HWSNBN is a **** and a danger to our club. You know what I mean? Equally, there could be many who support the stance of te campaign group but don't feel it's up to actually doing anything yet so haven't thrown there hat in, but will if there's something they feel will make a difference. I'm in this group.
I don't think I've ever openly laughed at a post on here so much. I don't even know why. Our lass just goggled at me sideways as I'd mutated into a giant HWSNBN wearing a HT kit.
I AM not anti Allams, I just dont want the name changed! I believe CTWD is doing its best to work with Club (Allams) and resolve this pointless name change.
I'm not the brightest poster by a very long way . I don't know I still would rather we never changed our name . But I'm sick of reading anti Allan stuff . I don't want anything to do with that . It puts me off the CTWD campaign. Maybe I'm wrong it's just how I feel Good look anyway ...
But where are you seeing the anti-Allam stuff? All CTWD have done is correct it when he's lied. Now I'm anti Allam and so is SuitedandBooted but I don't think CTWD are.
With the Hull City Tigers activity book please log in to view this image A Hull City activity book, designed to help children develop their literacy skills, has been published by the Children's University. This is the second edition of the book. The first, published when the football team last made it to the Premier League in 2009, outsold both Dan Brown and JK Rowling in the Hull branch of Waterstones that Christmas. John Buttrick, director of the Children's University, said: "Some of the answers to the questions in the book will involve family members, those who have followed the Hull Tigers over the past 50 years. "This will, hopefully, bring families together and develop children's literary skills. It's a book for four-year-olds to 94- year-olds." The Children's University, based on the edge of the University of Hull's Cottingham Road campus, aims to raise young people's aspirations through education. It counts Hull City owner Assem Allam as a long-time supporter and, now, Mr Allam has given the book his official backing. He said: "I'm proud to be associated with the Children's University's Hull Tigers activity book. "The quizzes, puzzles and reading activities provide a great opportunity for families to get together and share their knowledge and skills, related to the club. "I think it's a great way for young people to improve their reading skills, with help from all the family." The book is part of a wider Children's University project to improve the literacy of Hull's young people. Mr Buttrick said: "Children learn to read quicker if they are interested in the content, because they start to decipher words in the context of a sentence. "I looked at the content of Sats papers for Key Stage Two and some of the topic areas were just completely alien to the children I teach and represent in schools. "It's a changing age through new technology. "We as teachers need to be prepared for the generation who are growing up in the world of iPads and iPhones and we need to make sure the way we are teaching is just as engaging." Mr Buttrick is a big fan of Hull City and this is one of the reasons he is committed to the project. He said: "I'm a S****horpe lad, but I've spent 40 years in Hull and it's my club, I've been a season ticket holder for years. I can't watch them every week now, but I'm a big, big fan. "I met with Mr Allam yesterday and I said, 'If this is another success, we will continue to move it out'. "I think I may also put a version online, so anyone who wants to buy it from anywhere in the world can. "It will help spread Hull support around the world and also raise money for the Children's University." There are 3,000 copies of the book available from retailers across Hull, including the Hull Daily Mail offices on Blundell's Corner. It costs £4.99 and raises money for the Children's University. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Chil...es-Hull-City/story-20116227-detail/story.html
It's off a BBC show called Walk on the Wild Side where they voiced over animals. My favourite is the laughing zebras on this clip. [video=youtube;DIDp05SHJVk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIDp05SHJVk/[/video]
**** sake, a great cause for kids and he ****S it over with the name change **** well done allam you grade a buffoon
I think the issue with that statement, and similar ones previously made by various posters is that, at least from what I've seen, it looks like that is referring to the conduct of the CTWD group. As things stand I don't think the group has been anything other than anti-name change. There have been people who support the group that have taken it further and expressed anti-Allam sentiments and connected them to their views on the name change. Up to this point there should be a separation between those two groups that perhaps hasn't been clear enough to the general supporter of the club so both sets of people are being lumped in as one. Then when the CTWD group is criticised for it those in the group have taken it as more of a personal comment against themselves than has been intended. Obviously now supporters of the group can officially become members of the group the seperation is going to be eroded, and I suspect it will be a greater rate of the more extreme supporters who sign up to it compared to the more single issue supporters. It's always the case that the more hostile the view the more chance of action. As an example I'm not that bothered about the name change itself, I don't agree with the way we're doing on impulse, but you'd be lucky to get 10% of people like me signing up, where as you're likely to get 30%+ of the anti-Allam set doing so. Yeah, he does love his capitalised initials doesn't he. I know they're doing their own fundraising for the campaign, but in the absence of a referendum being organised by the Allam's perhaps it would be worth CTWD finding out how much the good cause receives from each book sold (it'll be well below the selling price). Then they could ask those who are opposed to the change and want to boycott products with the wrong name on to donate that amount to the charity separately through them. A significant number of people doing that would help to determine the scale of the support the campaign has, as well as generating extra revenue for the cause. They'll get the money from the books the club does sell, the money from people who would have bought it with the right name on it but who want to boycott the product and donate seperately, and I'm sure there'd be others who wouldn't be buying the book regardless but wouldn't mind making a small contribution to the cause at the same time as showing their support.
