OLM is there a set of minutes/notes in one place of everything that was said/discussed at the meeting? So far I've only seen the tweets and various comments on here, but there's just too much ****e to wade through as normal, to find a set of notes.
There are full minutes that we have internally, but I'm not sure what we're going to do with them yet. It was a very frank, open and friendly meeting and the minutes include things that could be commercially sensitive, they also include some things that related to personal family stories, particularly relating to Assem's family, so I can't see the full minutes being released, as it would be inappropriate. We were allowed to take our own minutes and these have been passed to Ash, I assume we'll issue something with the private stuff removed, but I'll know more after our next meeting tomorrow.

I think that (like me) there are many who view these threads, but don't use Facebook or Twitter - can a cut'n'paste be done so one and all NOT606 users can see what took 3 hours of discussion? I would be grateful if someone can offer this.
Fair do's and as I would have expected regarding some type of review before release. Did your views change on anything in relation to this btw as a result of the meeting? I don't mean changing your mind about the name change, I mean about the way the club is run and Dr A? I've only seen whats been posted on these forums, and its never obvious if interesting stuff is lost in the noise our threads generate.
Not really, though I am now absolutely certain that Assem is a successful man, who is now involved in something he has absolutely no understanding of. Some of the things he said were simply incredible, we often went from the bizarre, to the even more bizarre.
For the avoidance of doubt: The campaign is not scaling down. The campaign is entering its next phase. Though we are pleased that some positives came out of it, we see Friday's meeting with Dr Allam as a beginning, not an end. There was no confidentiality agreement regarding Friday's meeting (and we would have refused to sign one). We are currently working on minutes of the meeting and hope to publish them shortly (Monday or Tuesday). On Monday evening City Till We Die will be holding another regular meeting to discuss what we learnt from Friday, and future strategy. Our giant City Till We Die flag is now completed. It was not unfurled on Saturday because it was felt that this could disrespectfully interfere with/overshadow the minute's silence, but expect to see it at future games, where we will be asking fellow supporters to add their signatures to show their support for the campaign. We will continue to promote the singing of "City Till I Die" at 19.04 minutes. We have another 3,000 No To Hull Tigers badges to distribute at future fixtures. More City Till We Die scarves are on the way and will be available to buy from our online shop shortly. City Till We Die's aims remain the same. Paramount amongst those aims is protecting our club's historic name. We believe that any change to the club's identity should be agreed upon by a majority of supporters. NO TO HULL TIGERS CITY TILL WE DIE
#NoToHullTigers ‏@NoToHullTigers Apologies for the radio silence from our CTWD group. We have been digesting what was a long and at times puzzling meeting on Friday night. #NoToHullTigers ‏@NoToHullTigers Be assured - our commitment to #notohulltigers has NOT wavered one jot. We remain totally focused on NO name change for Hull City AFC. #NoToHullTigers ‏@NoToHullTigers We are meeting this week and will report back on our key findings. In the meantime, here is our presentation - https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5d9zuhq0xf81xo/CTWD Presentation - 01-11-2013.pdf
I've been looking out for a badge for ages, but there's never anybody giving them out that I've seen. Maybe they don't do it around E1/E2/E3 turnstiles.
I like that presentation. I'e also started analysing what I shout at games, and it seems to boil down to: Cmon City For fooks sake! Coooooommmmmmeeeeeee onnnnnnnnn yooooou Ulllllllllllllll If I'm talking to people, I talk about The Tigers. Or The Mighty Tigers. Or Hull City. Never really thought about it before in that way, and was thinking about it as I read that presentation. I still can't be arsed about AFC, although I now understand the protest to keep it. I may now actually be a fully "in support of CTWD" other than that. So, good work fellas.
My first impression would be Allam being straight off the blocks defending himself saying how he saved the Club etc as well as stating his disappointment that the Hull City fans didn't oppose the Council about the KC Stadium. Could be wrong though.
There will be a press release issued(hopefully tomorrow morning) that will shed a little more light on what went on at the meeting. I have been in some difficult meetings in my time, but this was the first meeting I've ever been to where the person I went to speak to answered completely different questions to the ones that were asked, went into rants about things that had absolutely nothing to do with the reason we were there and overall, it was quite simply bizarre.
