    Interesting. Probably like you, I don't have a link, but I have heard some were not quite as dismissive.

    Either way, It's done. It-s history.

    Which still doesn't alter the fact that what I said was correct and your assertion I wasn't was wrong.of that I am positive.
    As for moving up some away fans rankings, the KC was voted the best stadium by away fans some time ago before any initiatives. Probably because away fans were left to do what they wanted by the stewards and police.
    That is one thing that has improved since the days of Cooper declaring it was his house. Now you get the odd jobsworth steward making a twat of themselves whereas a few seats ago it seemed policy to **** off the home fans. Of course the police are, unfortunately, as clueless as ever.

    No, no of course you weren't wrong. What you're right about is **** all to do with what I'd said and your peculiar repeated attempted twists, but in some way shape or form best known to you, you were right.

    This positivity thing is ace isn't it. I wonder why some seem to fear it?

    I've never been sure how to spell olly olly in, or if it was just a Hull thing to end a game.

    Instead of evading questions and offering vague, deeply divisive answers, why don't we list some questions and try and answer them with hard, accurate and totally supportable answers (eventually), as, perhaps, then we will have a base to work from and an easily accessed reference point to refer back to? As a positive action I would be happy to use this post to update the questions and answers and will try to be as unbiased as possible, or, if someone would prefer another means then so-be-it, but let's try and stop arguing the same ****e month after month . Here's some starters, I will enter yours when I am able:

    (My thoughts and ammendments are in blue and these will be changed when a convincing argument is presented to make the change valid - simply post your view by replying to this, if it proves to have real merit then it will be changed - submit a new question by replying to this thread, as it is easy enough to scan - I will date questions and changes - we might surprise ourselves with the outcome)

    1. [15:36, 05/111] I asked earlier, but a simple enough question that I recall being bandied about at the time: Was the ASI used to subsidise the upkeep of the KC Stadium - the responsibility of other funds (under the terms of the stadium lease)?
    A vague recollection but someone may have something more tangible.


    2. [15:37, 05/11] Have we ever seen a detailed breakdown of how it was spent so we could understand that the PL did actually believe it was money well spent in the spirit of the ASI, or. indeed, on the ASI itself?
    I can never recall seeing one so I do not believe one has existed in the public domain, which I believe makes it impossible to say that the PL was happy with the way it was spent, as they, just like us, do not know. A positive and attributable account might change this, has anyone got one to offer?

    3. [15:45, 05/11] The scarves and T-shirts were said to be from previously planned funds and not from the ASI fund, is this correct?
    I'm pretty certain this was corroborated by a FWG member - was there anything else, is this contested?

    4. [16:23, 05/11]

    Has the advertising audit been concluded and is there an outcome that would indicate the ease of placing further banners?


    5. [16:36, 05/11] Do other clubs spend ASI funds on the visiting support?
    It appears the answer is yes -
    My question is whether it is club or council owned?

    6. [16:47, 05/11] Have other clubs failed to spend anything on their own supporters?
    Answers to questions #1, 2, 3 and 5 might go a long way to answering this.

    7. [16:58, 05/11]

    I believe this is wrong, or it is wrongly interpreted.
    I believe that the PL members met as a collective and, within their organisation, were offered a way forward to tackle the growing concerns over away support and the atmosphere it should bring to the game.
    I believe they agreed the outline conditions as stated by Peter Scudamore, and I believe they voted and agreed, as an organisation, to implement them over an agreed period of time. I believe this was binding on them all and the monies (£200k/annum/club) was signed off as being inclusive to their PL monies.
    I believe that not spending all of that money in the spirit of the ASI is a betrayal of the initiative, but the PL washes it dirty laundry behind closed doors, so no comment will be forthcoming that criticises one of their (ex)members.

    I have two, a 15 year old one we have had 11 years and a 3 year old one we got a couple of years ago to keep him company. Both rescue dogs. The younger one,which is a superb dog in every way, and normally only barks if there is someone at the door, is frightened of bangs. He also has a thing about people pulling out those extending rulers. He hears the sound of one those going back in, even in next door's garden and he goes crackers.
    Main problem is older dog is deaf so not bothered by the bangs but notices the other one barking and feels he has to join in but doesn't of course stop when the other does. A bugger if they are in another room and you are constantly having to get up and down.

    Someone I know had two dogs, and one of them used to bark like buggery at anything, so it was suggested they got it a special collar. The collar gave off a mild electric shock if it barked, with the idea that it learned not to bark, which was seemingly effective.

    The problem was the other one, that had been quiet up to that point, worked out if it barked, the other one got zapped, so kept doing it to piss the other one off.

    He reckoned you could almost see it laughing after every bark and subsequent shake from the former noisy dog.
