On the match commentaries on the official site they always seem to call us The Tigers or Hull, never City.
Dear Ehab,
This is the sort of initiative that clued up, non-****y owners implement.
Love,

[HASHTAG]#SCFC[/HASHTAG] City7 scheme gives tickets & shirts to 8,000 7-year-olds at local schools & coaching. Now 25% of Stoke’s fan-base is younger than 21.

Silly ****.Fair enough.....still a response, just only in email to trust members
My only takeaway from the interview is that Ehab is bsically saying, "stop getting at me or we won't sell but if you're very good, sit down and be nice we might, but since you've been nsaty boys & girls, you've scared off all the potential interest.. oh and it's not London or Leeds..".. whatever happened to the heady days of 2012 when they were lauding over the catchment areas of the E Riding.. now who has scared who off? They made no effort to widen the club's supporter base
Reduced prices for kids? nah that won't work..
So now they're hoping that Slutsky can get "the Tigers" into a decent position in the top 8 so "the club" can be run by someone else because they've done "everything they can". Financially this might be the case but diplomatically and business -smartness wise it's not. They have messed up big time. Missed their chance in history and folklore to be the good guys.. in the words of DonaldTrump..Sad!
But seriously, it's no joke.. more of a killing joke

Another owner doing what is morally right for him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...field-help-set-breakfast-club-youngsters.html
Obviously doesn't know how to run a club or build a fan base like the business genius we have in charge of us. Hasn't shortened the name from Huddersfield Town to Huddersfield Terriers to appeal o dog lovers all over the world.
Is letting fans in for ridiculously low prices, especially kids. When will he learn?

There are so many examples of good owners looking after the best interest of the club and supporters .. Alas the ****wits in charge don't see any wrong in how they are dealing with matters at OUR club..
14,200 jobs created in Hull as city becomes UK hotspot for research
Hull's employment rate is now the highest it's ever been
Hull has become a UK hotspot for industrial research and development thanks to an unprecedented £578m wave of investment.
The growth in new facilities is being hailed as one of the reasons behind the turnaround in the city's econcomy.
Recent figures show Hull's employment rate is now 68 per cent - the highest ever recorded.
Compared to five years ago, there are an extra 14,200 people employed in the city.

City council regeneration director Mark Jones
City council regeneration director Mark Jones said the surge in major research and development activity was a key factor in Hull's revival as it meant high-quality jobs were being created.
"Unlike the rest of the country, Hull is not in negative figures in terms of capital investment," he said.
"I think there's a very good story coming together about what I call the producer economy in Hull.
"We are seeing a lot of capital investment by the big corporate names at the same time as the City of Culture. It's a real convergence of opportunity."
Mr Jones said the development of new research and development facilities at existing manufacturing plants by the likes of Smith & Nephew, RB and Croda were all significant investments.
"What we are seeing is the ability of producer companies to control their own destiny because r&d is all about innovation and looking ahead to the next product.

New laboratory development facility for pharmaceutical company Indivior in Priory Park.
"Having them based at existing plants also strengthens their presence here. It means they are much less likely to be closed at the whim of an accountant.
"What we have got in Hull is a coming together. That doesn't happen in the UK car industry. Take Nissan, it has its manufacturing plant in the North-East and its R&D facility in the Home Counties."
Mr Jones said the challenge now was to persuade Hull's big corporate names to open their supply chains to local businesses.
"Hull is unique in the way it has brought capital into play and the city council has played a big part in that by investing in the city centre and its facilities.
"That sends a signal to investors that Hull is open for business. It's a cliche but we have walked the walk and I believe Hull is now one of the most successful areas in ther UK in terms of bringing capital and human resources together."

Saw that article earlier and was reminded of Ehab's comments. Employment in Hull the highest it's ever been, yet he claims unemployment is the reason people are staying away.
I believe that's 68% of the local working age population, rather than 68% of people who want to work (nationally it's 75.1%), the unemployment rate is actually about 8% in Hull and 4% in the East Riding.
Are you sure? That means roughly 1 in 3 people age 16-65-ish are out of work. That figure is so low I took it to be 68% of the total population.
Are students included in that, or those ho have taken early retirement? Single mothers sat at home, women not allowed out of the house for cultural reasons? Not too hard to account for a lot of them.
