I was queueing in our local Chinese takeaway last night, when who walks in but Ehab. Ignores the queue too too. I thought he was ordering a number 15 but then realised he wasn't putting an order in at all. In fact he was actually giving the Takeaway owners plus family members 15 free passes for today's game. it was for the Directors box as well. He handed over lots of City merchandise too. What a generous gesture, maybe he has changed after all.

More smoke and mirrors me thinks, Chinese super boat (as you point out) in a Hull dock. lots of Chinese faces in the crowd (although probably not multi millionaires) leaving people to make outrageous assumptions .
Sad but who knows what goes on in eeyores tiny mind, or mine come to that ! :emoticon-0142-happy

It's funny you should say that...

Just got home and to my surprise an A5 flyer had been put through the door advertising this, and other City stuff.

Bizarre.

When I was a callow youth in the late 70s the accepted and decades-old method of advertising forthcoming games at BP was a yellow bill with black print giving details of opponents and kick off times. These were pasted on advertising hoardings on the main roads like SBW and Kennings roundabout.

Then we were too skint and disorganised too advertise games like this, and relied on people to turn up out of force of habit and prompted by HDM.

Then we we had the internet and emails etc

Now it seems people are being paid to push flyers thorough letterboxes, presumably as some people don't have the internet, get the paper or listen to radio,

Will we see the return of men with sandwich boards strolling round town advertising the game?

Marketing genius, thinking outside the box, or total retro **** up?

Maybe we should have a ticket office to sell tickets to people who want to by tickets as well. Old fashioned I know...

I hope we get back to sandwich boards. Employment opportunity there. Do they still sell Daily Mail around town. That bloke who used to stand in Debenhams doorway screaming in your ear just as you passed him. Memories :emoticon-0100-smile

The boat was seen in Grimsby first...perhaps they are a better buy.

Hate to say it. I’d rather Allams in charge than Duffen and his penniless muppets.

I wouldn't.

And, do you know they are penniless and muppets? Do you know who they are? Do you even know if they exist?

If Duffen gets a backer(s) that he thinks he can make a go of it with, I'd take him every day of the week over the ****s.
