To win the FA Cup or League Cup, to get back to the top flight and actually consolidate our place there and not just be a two-season wonder yo-yo club. Packing out the KCOM every league game as well. Before Covid, our 2019-2020 average home attendance was 11,553; not even half of our capacity. We've got a good set of lads and McCann's redeemed himself this season to an extent but there's still a lingering toxic atmosphere at the club and it starts and ends with the Allams. They need to go. A clean slate that hopefully follows new regulations for how football clubs are run so as to prevent unscrupulous businessmen from treating football clubs as their own personal fiefdom.
I can't imagine for one minute it's a thought that's entered their heads. Has there ever been a team like this?
Their players aren't all born and bred in Bilbao. The Basque region is quite large. Nearest to a home bred team is probably the Celtic European Cup winners in 1967.
To own our own stadium. Totally independent from spitefull jobsworth council interference and rugby league leeches. A strong self funded club operating at the top end of the Championship with a solid 15/18,000 regular fanbase. The occasional cup run and the odd venture into the Premier League playing in a city that is proud of its football club. Something on the lines of Burnley.
Or like Norwich, a club I consider as middle class where as my example of Burnley is more fitting to the city of Hull. Working class with a 'you get nowt for nowt' attititude. Either would do tbh.
My simple wish is for City to get back in the Premier league, and I am able to fly back and watch them live win a game. In 2014 I saw them draw 0-0 with WBA,and lose 2-0 at Chelsea That we keep KLP Obviously for the Allams to go That when we get into the Premier league we get big crowds and at half time we bring on past players of the club. Despite losing at Chelsea I was impressed by them doing that.Education for the younger ones. 67 now so a few years left!
Norwich middle class? Not really. They are well run though by a family worth about an eight of what the Allams are. Have sold out their season passes every season under them, including a season in Division 3 , increased the capacity of the stadium and built a £100 million training complex. Would be happy with that. Would be happy with fans with the attitude of Burnley fans and like Burnley not seeing loads of Man Utd and Leeds scarves about although they are closer to both those clubs than Hull.
I would imagine it would be high on the agenda if we attract a buyer? I think outright ownership of the Club,players and stadium lock,stock and barrel, would make us a far more attractive proposition in the future.We have shown before that we can mix it at the highest level so the potential is plain to see. If we are sold I'd like to see a new owner/owners with a real desire to reach for the top again...It's been said before but there is a huge potential in the children of Hull to become involved and support their local team.
Norwich isn't Hull, it is middle class in comparison. It is also a one club city, something that Hull isn't. No question about it being well run, but I'll stick with my original point which was I'd sooner City emulated Burnley because the demographics between Hull and Burnley are closer then any Hull and Norwich connection.
Burnley certainly is probably similar to Hull in many ways, even though their population is about 88k. I've been many times to Turf Moor as a good friend of mine is a Burnley fan, and we always go to games home and way when we happen to be in the same division. There is a fear at the moment what will happen now they have got new owners, as it seems to have been financed partly on borrowed money against club assets and that the good work that has been done over the recent years is maybe undone. I guess as Tickles would have said TWT.
Norwich is half the size of Hull. Look at those weather maps. Someone once told me York was bigger than Hull. I just shook my head in disbelieve.
