    It's certainly true that I don't like being lied to.

    Brucie wants all fans to get behind the team - so what do the Allams do - discourage our fans travelling away and encourage more away fans to come to the KC - and they think they've got it right

    To be fair I think James is an unfortunate pawn in all this. He takes the responsibility but if he had the power he'd surely just give the fans what they asked for.

    The Allams style is never to communicate directly cos they know they can't back anything up if questioned. So they use JM as one way communication channel and when people ask him questions he can only say he doesn't know.

    I agree, I have no doubt that if it was down to James, we'd have got discounted tickets as requested. Unfortunately, it isn't down to him.

    I thought people though the stand move that initiated this was a good idea?

    I dont believe Ehab one bit...if this was the case regarding the £200,000 why has it took nearly a full season to tell the fans where the money has gone. ?

    Personally i wish they would just **** off and sell up.

    I would have given free travel for young fans and free tickets for away games for them with the money..

    Bastards.

    There is a suggestion that the move to the North Stand is all part of a desire to rename each stand. From next season the stands may have new names.

    East Stand "The Den"
    South Stand "Bunkers"
    West Stand "The Tigers Lair"
    North Stand "The Kop Out"

    That has **** all relevance to the misuse of the ASI fund, as you're well aware.

    Hull City owner Ehab Allam defends stance on Away Supporters Initiative money

    'ASI IS FOR AWAY FANS': Hull City vice-chairman Ehab Allam.

    Comments (19)
    HULL City owners Assem and Ehab Allam appear to be risking more unrest after admitting they've spent none of the Away Supporters Initiative (ASI) money on their own fans.

    The Tigers, like all 20 top-flight clubs, agreed to spend £200,000 of their central Premier League funding at the start of the season in a scheme designed to provide support for away fans.

    Just his picture sends shudders.

    Predictable stuff from the Allams. It's now a concerted effort to bait fans, rather than simple incompetence or lack of a clue.

    It's not just Hull City fans who they've been hurting lately though is it. This sort of stuff will bite them in the end, and it will hurt, and I will laugh.

    Spoilt, rich tarts.

    In your opinion. I'd disagree, obviously. It's all part of the same thing, no matter how the way it's funded is described.

    Appears a little dishonest to me, sort of robbing Peter, or the supporters as they're commonly known, to pay Paul, or the bills as they're commonly known.

    The ASI fund has been misused, City fans have been hung out to dry and your attempt to drag this back to your eviction does you no credit.

    Let's pretend for a minute that Ehab isn't talking **** & lying like a ****, it's just pretend mind.

    If what he says is true then why are they, as fit & proper owners, not banging on the doors of every PL club, The FSF & the PL demanding answers as to why other clubs are mis-managing this fund to the detriment of HCAFC supporters.

    Ignoring a part of the issue does you no credit. There are a number of occasions when people make points, but get derfensive arguments rather than open discussions from you.

    When you say people, you actually mean Dutch.
