Do you ever take the time to understand what a discussion's about before jumping in and showing your ignorance?
Oh here we go, cornered and nowhere to go, he starts with the insults. Please enlighten me, what amazingly complicated point I have missed in your thesis?
It was a genuine question rather an insult. I never said it was a protest solely aimed at Hull City, or anything remotely similar.
Oh but you did..... As I said, I support the principal, but not a practice that wrongly implies it's our fault, especially when they don't do the same at other clubs. They protested at Arsenal, Anfield and the PL HQ, plus they openly stated what their aim was and it was widely reported as such, as per the link from the organisers I posted made clear.
No mate it never entered their heads like... Even Brucie understood and fully supported their campaign goal ffs. Liverpool fans have been amongst the most vociferous railing at the spiralling costs and have regularly held up banners at stadiums saying they are 'against modern football'. A statement on the Spirit of Shankly fans' website said: 'We would encourage fans to join us on that night to tell the money men of the Premier League cartel that they cannot continue to charge exorbitant prices, whilst making obscene amounts of money. 'This wealth should be shared and passed back to the lifeblood of the game, the supporters… We will no longer accept these prices when there is more money in the sport than ever before.' Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said at his press conference on Monday: 'I have been made aware of the issue. Fans work hard to get money so they can attend these games. I respect the supporters' right to protest.' Hull boss Steve Bruce has also called for Barclays Premier League officials to act to curb rising ticket prices after admitting he felt sorry for football fans. Bruce said: 'I feel sorry for the supporters of big clubs who have to dig deep every week and I hope when the new TV money comes into play the Premier League can remember football does belong to supporters. 'I know how difficult it is for people here at our club to find the money to bring their two kids to a football match and we have to make sure with all the money washing around we give something back to the fans. 'We have to remember the average man in the street because they are the lifeblood of football and I think if the Premier League set certain rules we would all have to abide by them.'

Nope, that doesn't say I thought the protest was solely aimed at Hull City at all. The other protests are mentioned in other replies, pointing out that none were boycotts. Again, that's not saying the actions were solely aimed at Hull City. Out of bored curiosity, are you round here because you married a Hull lass?
You're playing with semantics again. You patently went on the defensive over their protest and stated that you felt it implied its was your (Hull City's) fault. Only a complete cretin would have read about that protest and the reams of column inches / discussions, TV coverage, it brought about and concluded that it was implying that.
It seems only a complete cretin did. No semantics at all. None needed, well not by me anyway. I was right about why you're in Hull wasn't I.
Anyway, now the cretin has been enlightened, he'll no doubt **** off and bore some other board ****less, responding to points they haven't made.
Clubs don't give a flying fig what they charge to the long suffering supporter. As long as fans are daft enough to pay the prices why should they. The only way to get prices down is by not going to the games. But, we all know that there will always be fans that will pay the crazy prices. IMO unless the SKY money stops...it's a case of "pay or miss out". I chose not to pay...it kills but at least I don't beat myself up every week in justifying paying the entrance money. I must admit though it's a lot easier missing games because of Allam's actions.
I'm guessing this is where I point out it's you that's made the usual tit of you self by getting it wrong yet again, and then you start bleating about fishing and wind ups? Anyway, is this lass that keeps you here a hair dresser?
How do you know it's their favourite past time? I'd like facts and figures to back this statement up.
Well if that above is what Britain has come to I am glad I left years ago. Once again a few get up of their arses and go and do something, and out come the keyboard warriors telling them how they are doing it all wrong. You all claim to be football suporters so you should understand what it must feel like to buy a ticket to a game and then not go ( for whatever reason ) The Liverpool fans couldn't just not buy a ticket as a protest, they have so many fans they will always sell out the allocation we give them at whatever price. So by doing what they did half the away was empty. They made a point on live television and got good media coverage all round highlighting the price of football for the common man ( or woman/child ) Hopefully the ball will keep on rolling.
Keyboard warriors. It's about opinions, and strictly speaking, most did the opposite of getting of their arse. I've said all along that I fully agree that pricing is too high, I just think it's a bit rich carrying out an action that ends up costing more for other games, when they're already more expensive than the one they chose to protest. There's plenty getting off their arse each week rather than pay over the odds for tickets. I've dipped loads for exactly that reason.
So now you are concerned that their protest will cost them money? it was a price those protesting were prepared to pay to get their point of veiw across. Or is it that those supporters who didn't pay 50 quid to watch at Hull will more than likely pay more than that to watch their team at say Arsenal or Chelsea. As for the action itself, it wasn't the first thing they did, it was a step up from their early efforts and who knows what next steps they will take.
