Is a clean slate possible? What would it take for our core support?

    To start with the Allams would have to come out & apologise & admit they were wrong. So NO!

    I went to the FA Cup final at Wembley instead of her 60th Birthday (with her blessing) she said make it up to me next year.

    She died suddenly and totally unexpectedly 3 months later from a massive brain haemorrhage. I never got that opportunity to make it up.

    I have felt guilty ever since for putting football before family.

    My Mam was in 2013....

    Tough time, I occasionally ask her if there's anything she can do about our results!

    I know, I still can’t help but feel incredibly guilty. Especially as the plan was to drop in on route back from Wembley. Unfortunately North bound traffic jams on the M1 prevented that. I think they had put the M1 from 3 lanes to 1. Which created huge traffic jams for those heading back North.

    Allams need to go. End of. They've burnt too many bridges, and there will never be a positivity around the club as long as they are here.

    If they could make money in League One, they would be perfectly happy to just linger in midtable, but they've realised they can't make enough money to pay for their cars and yachts, so they need to be back in the Championship to do so.



    Grant should've been sacked 6 months ago - but he has, to be fair, started this season well. I still don't like the man, he comes across too much like a puppet for Ehab and some of the **** he was saying at the end of last season was unforgivable.

    Should we continue to play and perform in a similar vein over the next couple of months, I may start to warm towards him, but at the moment? Nah, he can still get ****ed.

    There's not a man standing who doesn't have regrets in situations like this.I have regrets about things with my Mum but I don't dwell on them,nothing can be changed.

    As an aside....I didn't have traffic issues when we played in London,BA from Glasgow/Edinburgh,55 minutes.

    Some mates I used to meet at games at QPR,Palace,Wembley etc used to say "how did you come down today Ric"? You could feel the envy when I said "we flew down on the 9.10 from Edinburgh"!!!:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Imagine how happy she was thinking you were watching Hull City at Wembley in the FA Cup Final.

    My Mum didn’t like football. But she knew how much it meant to me.

    So true. That's pretty much all we wish for as parents.

    As my old mother in law used to say "don't let anyone live in your head rent free".....You appear to be doing just that?

    The Allams could afford to sit back and let the Club perish for the next 3-4 years,not blink an eyelid and still afford luxuries you and I could never imagine.

    They've put cash on the table and we're beginning to see that there's been some money well spent on recruiting kids who genuinely want to play for Hull City.I know as fact that Greg Docherty was absolutely euphoric at being given an opportunity to play for us...That's clearly evident in his play.

    McCann needs to attone for last season,absolutely.You can dwell in the past and post diatribe on a daily basis all you like,it is what it is and you either embrace it or mock it and await our first defeat so you can say.." see,told you so,that McCann is a useless ****er".

    Me,I'm buoyed by what I've seen so far,as are numerous others.

    Absolutely!! The early signs indicate that this squad will roll their sleeves up and work hard on the pitch.That's all I want and need as a supporter..
    McCann is lucky he's still in a job,the tail end of last year was an absolute embarrassment to us all but the signs are positive for this season.Of course we'll suffer defeat at some point and yes,it's imperative that they give their all in defeat.Last season they clearly never..
