Its what I used to do on a Saturday for as long as I can remember. Saturdays always revolved around Hull City and I have a pass/membership ( which I hate) because of it. I hate the term membership because I was one of those who fought against the Government who wanted to bring in ID cards ( membership cards) for football supporters. And we won that battle, only to have it forced on us in later years.
But the goalposts have been moved too many times. The traditional 3.00pm Saturday afternoon kick off is now a rarity. We can be kicking off at 8.00pm on a Monday night, 12.30 on a Sunday morning, in fact anytime that suits those watching at home on the telly and not a thought given for those who actually make the effort to get their backsides to the ground to actually support their team, come wind, rain or shine. And I'm getting a bit sick and tired of it. For example I will get home close to midnight in Monday after the Coventry game, and we are at home FFS. I've arrived home far earlier than that when I've been down South to watch City on a Saturday afternoon.
So for the first time in over 50 years my decision to renew my pass/membership for next season is in doubt, and I'm not fussed which league we are in either, although I hope it is the Championship, it's the lack of consideration, the taking for granted of our support, and the overall attitude from the ruling bodies that our support means **** all to them and they can do what they like with us. So I'm seriously thinking of telling them to shove it.
