    Next year's vote may be a completely different kettle of fish if it happens. Parliament may well act and decide who can and cannot vote and how the vote must be conducted.

    I notice my invitation to renew my season ticket didn't mention the Allams and the request to buy came from Steve Bruce.

    Nothing is a lost cause, even if he gets his way it could see the emergence of AFC Hull City. AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester have shown that starting again is possible.

    maybe to you , but the lack of frantic support for your statement on AFC Hull City "15 minutes !" ... says a lot of your support .. I would have thought they would be all over it , hell I would too tbh ... as I like your theory

    Apathy rules I am afraid

    For both sides apparently. I was surprised how low his vote of confidence actually was.

    Are you sure you're even a City fan? Apart from spouting bollocks on here, your only connections with the club seem to be being sacked by sub-contractor for dishonesty and having an imaginary relative on a coach.

    Based on 15000 passes at £500 (probably an over exaggeration as I don't know the actual figures but obviously there are many children/OAPs but then also corporates which may balance it out), a 30% increase in prices raises revenue by around £1.7m. If we had earned one more point this season it would have increased revenue by £2.5m. That shows you how little the effect it has on the club's finances despite the huge effect on the lives of supporters.

    It should reduce the numbers on the walkway to town as north standers will take a while to do a lap of the ground to get there.

    that's why I conceded .. it's bitterness, because he can .. he is forcing the hand of the "diehards" , and a lot of diehards are tired of it and seem to be walking away ... you can see from other forums , the proud instigators of CTWD are now saying "**** it"

    I don't recall commenting one way or another on AFC Hull City. I have wondered if getting caught being dishonest has left you befuddled or if you've always been clueless.

    OLM can moan all he likes about his price hike but I didn't pay for my season tickets for three years running and then boom £400 for mine and £90 for the boy.

    That's nearly a £500 rise.

    It's a liberty I tell you.

    Someone is taking the piss.

    The location is academic, although near city centre / Prinnny ave is a bonus. What makes ait viable or not is current and projected city hotel room occupancy projections vs provision and what standard they are. Hull is on a surge of development (Siemens, CofCult, etc) so it must be assessed by its own business analysis - anything from anywhere else is spurious and misleading. So no, it wasn't worth pointing out, as it is divorced from our circumstances :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I've just heard a "It's his club, he can do what he wants to" type, disputing the decision to move him from E3. Strange.

    See my post to Mel; it's a case of each on it's merits.

    Blame Steve Bruce and the players then.

    Ultimately, it's their fault that they let their intensity and level of performance drop through the roof.

    Have it out with them.

    I shall pay the extra for my season card and for the juniors season cards .

    I will enjoy being in the north stand as I first watched City with my dad on bunkers behind the goal

    I watched the semi final and the final in 110 behind the goal

    It really is a shame if the increase prices out fans .
