The round of applause is for those away fans who respect our song and show their support, as on Saturday, by clapping their hands. In essence just good manners.
The 'tiny minority' in the corner are the only ones who ever make an effort to get an atmosphere going, it's probably asking abit much to expect the rest of the stadium to break the habit of a lifetime and join in. If the name change goes through i imagine the vast majority who inhabit E1 E2 will simply walk away, leaving the rest to watch the game in complete silence.
===== And that's what worries me the most. E1, E2, E3 being empty of those who sing , shout and jump about. That would be worse then the name change for me. If that did happen and they all sod off to support a new HULL CITY.....I would have no choice but to go with them. The spirit of Bunkers and the Kempton is in e1 to e3 IF they all go..so do I. Somethings are important you see Like atmosphere and noise. And my roots of Bunkers....Kempton...and e1 e2 e3. Ps I never said a tiny minority.... A minority yes....but not " tiny "
John, are you going to kindly allow me to read your report? I'm sure it'll be of interest to many fans and perhaps you might even change a few minds. Thanks
Whilst we're awaiting John's report, has anybody else compiled a dossier that we can read? Just wondering.
****ing hell, you really are a sad desperate arsehole. You've quoted 2 posts, totally out of context of course, which is your normal approach in these matters, which explained quite clearly my point of view at a time there was LOADS of speculation, right from Dr A leaving to a full on Franchise move and rename. At the time people were, as they are now, peddling hearsay and rumour and just made up ****e as fact, and I was happier waiting for something official. I know that bothers you, but we're not all sad little sheep that follow the (small minority) flock on here. Was I wrong to ask for some concrete evidence to back up the claims? Oh wait, no, you don't like that do you. Seems its ok for you to demand people tell you everything, while ignoring any requests for the same. Why don't you quote the later posts too? You know the one where I explained all this? You're a ****ing joke, if this is all you have, and all you have to do with your time, I genuinely pity you.
The context was that OLM had heard Allam was planning to change the name and posted it on here, you couldn't bear the thought of Allam doing something so daft (this was before you had to take on the persona of thinking it was a great idea in order to keep defending him) so got all snidey about it and posted those piss taking remarks, which look rather silly now.
oh ppl can't understand that cos the name has changed (ONLY the name) yet the team still remains the same, nowt much will change.
I stated that I knew for a fact that AA was planning to change our name to Hull Tigers, you said it was bollocks, that's the context. I continue trying to educate you, but you remain as blinkered and naive as you were then.
They’ll be a horde of gems to look back on from Happy Tiger whatever the outcome of the name change. He’s a more spiteful version of Comical Ali.
If the Union Flag changed to a combination of stars and stripes but the colours stayed red white and blue, would you have any objections? Would you understand if a large proportion of this country's citizens objected?
