For the record, our AGM was held in a conference suite at the Royal Mercure Hotel and there have been no marches since last year, as we actually won the campaign last April, it's over, time to move on. As stated above, the campaign ended in April, we haven't been doing anything since then, I think you'll find it AA who held a rambling press conference on Thursday, not CTWD. If you want this nonsense to stop, I suggest an email to AA telling him he's wasting his time and dividing the fans with his continued petulance and he should probably move on now.
The HDM have got it right again... Philip Buckingham: How 'watershed moment' put Hull City name-change divide into spotlight A WATERSHED moment arrived at the KC Stadium at 8.19pm on Monday night, one that revealed the true depth of the great Hull City divide. As supporters opposed to owner Assem Allam's name change plans rose to their feet with 19.04 on the clock to chant 'City Till I Die', others around the ground found their own voice with a resounding chorus of boos and jeers. And with that, the feared split was complete. Everything that followed on the night was destined to be lost in this intensifying storm. Even debut goals for Abel Hernandez and Mohamed Diame, delivering an entertaining 2-2 draw with West Ham United, struggled to be the main topic of conversation on most homeward journeys. It wasn't the odd one or two, either. All of a sudden there appeared to be thousands, not just hundreds, rounding on the campaigners who have fought to protect a 110-year-old name. This was the outbreak of Hull City's Civil War. Or should that be Uncivil? The abuse flying across social media in the small hours of Monday night was vitriolic and unsightly. It did no one any favours. Some have called it the darkest day in the Tigers' history. Infighting amongst supporters is typically reserved for clubs deep in the abyss of a crisis, not in the midst of a golden era. And that's the shame of it all. Regardless of the colours tied to your mast, this feels like an unhappy club far too often. There has literally never been a better time to follow Hull City. Ever. Yet somehow it just doesn't always feel that way. Supporters are prone to spend more time worrying than dreaming about what comes next. And that, irrespective of beliefs, cannot be right. City fans have surely survived too much to fall out now. Eight years in the bottom division around the turn of the century demanded solidarity and donations into collection buckets. Without that togetherness the club could have sunk at Boothferry Park. Even more recently, during the protests against the bubble policy of West Yorkshire Police for the trip to Huddersfield in March 2013, an unyielding sense of unity was to every supporters' credit. To see that unraveling in the Premier League is painful. Former brothers in arms will not even hold hands. The worry now is that the division will grow wider before it is healed. The arbitration process is unlikely to be concluded until late November and both the chanters and jeerers of last night are unlikely to fall silent in a hurry. Anyone attempting to sweep the matter under the carpet will find obstacles planted on all four corners. So long as fans are fighting one another, just as they were on Monday night, the enjoyment served up by Steve Bruce and his impressive squad will be diminished. Attendances could suffer, too. While the crowd of 21,275 could be justified by television coverage and average guests, it was the KC Stadium's lowest Premier League gate. And by some distance. The previous low of 21,939, recorded against Cardiff 12 months ago, came on the back of steps into the unknown under Bruce, rather than the best transfer deadline in living memory. The next game at the KC Stadium will be against the Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday week. It is the type of fixture that few ever thought possible until a maiden promotion to the top flight in 2008 but the sense of anticipation is perhaps not what it should be. Monday night saw to that. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Phil...tory-22936173-detail/story.html#ixzz3DYvbJrrj
I didn't boo, I've never boo'd anything at the KC, other than referees and opposition players. People were booing because they're tired of hearing about the name change now and want an end to it, as you lot keep saying there is nothing the fans can do about it now, yet still the chant was sung and were it not for the boos "We say no Allam" would of come next. Can I just say also "where were you when we were ****" was ridiculous, I know many people who support Allam who have been going for longer than any of those idiots chanting that.
