'HCST will be hiring a space at Bloggs Hotel on 1st August and invite any fans to attend who wish to discuss protest ideas' or something?

Nah. There's been a few attempts on here for discussions on ways to improve things. It could be something like that allowed to grow.

It's pretty much similar things to the call for fans to be given a voice in how the club is run.

It's possible that this time, the card protest could have some effect, and I know it says something further is planned. I just can't help thinking it needs something beyond that to help bring a conclusion, and more heads could just help.

As mentioned earlier, some specifics on what the protest is about could just help get more involved, as it could inform non-City fans looking in.

Sadly, anything not blowing praise, seems to be abused. That's not reasonable fan involvement. No doubt it'll be pointed out that trust haven't officially abused anyone.

The 2013 article I read specified the two hours a week etc, but specifically mentioned that it related to Sky, BT and Premier League TV.

My understanding was it was part of the deal for winning bids of all 10 packages.

The radio ones listed as winning packages are the BBC (including Radio 5 Live, BBC Local Radio, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru), Talksport and the Wireless Group.

Talksport seem to get a lot of access on their own if it wasn't included as part of the deal.

Perhaps. It's a matter of opinion, but it'd be more interesting to see the trusts polite and considered views on the other points raised.

Unable to contribute further to the conversation, stock response is an emoticon.

Good job investigative sports journalists such as Kimmage, Walsh, McIntyre (MacIntyre?) weren't put off by the like, just a shame they didn't work for HDM

So if you think they would give the club more **** get them onboard. We are after all looking to get national and international coverage of the state of the club, hence the call for protests during the Leicester on Man U games.

Good luck with the protests lads, got a great chance to make an early statement kicking off the season hosting the Champions.

Maybe you could do something like Charlton did and throw mass amounts of beach/tennis balls onto the pitch at a certain time? Will delay the game with the entire world watching and give the commentators no choice but to mention reasons. Would also probably bring a fine to your owners too.

It's never nice to see a club with **** owners and we've sufferred ourselves with that in not too distant past, so again all the best <cheers>

Wouldn't get the beachballs in but maybe the tennis balls. Was done before against Lloyds rein

In my opinion, the protests now can only be about regime change, without that, none of the other issues will be addressed.

I agree
that was mainly why I asked what the protest was focussing on
there are so many things if you stick to a particular one you'll miss others views
if the focus is on encouraging them to sell up then that needs to be clear

Which needs a buyer to be available. In which case, the fans have an opportunity to show prospective buyers the potential there is in the club. One potential is a vibrant, positive and constructive fan base.

In the shorter term, it can still be a positive to the situation and prospect of a sale, if the fans can show a willingness to act independent of the board. As one example, Proposals to improve the matchday experience don't necessarily need the club's permission or support.

It's time that we became uber-efficient with our knowledge-based management paradigm shifts.

This is no time to bite the bullet with our facilitating relative hardware.

It appears to me that what we need here is something that would definitely get world wide attention and would be so hurtful or shaming to the Allams that they would have no choice but to move on. What about a mass mooning at a set time!

BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport
Hull City fans are planning a protest on the first day of the Premier League season - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36963875

More and more the nationals are getting on board and explaining more about our plight, they're also more accurately reporting the facts "The Tigers, who host Leicester on 13 August, have been without a manager since Steve Bruce resigned after a fall out with vice-chairman Ehab Allam." <ok>

I emailed your link about the protest to The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, BBC Sport, Sky Sports and talkSPORT.

Not heard much back but thought it was worth at least trying to get the word out.

If we really want to insult them, everyone should remove a shoe and hold it up with the sole facing the cameras.
