In years to come I'd imagine this will be looked back upon as the most exciting and successful era for the Tigers - seasons in the Premiership or fighting it out at the top of the Championship, an FA Cup Final, a (brief) European excursion...and those at the helm during that period will rightly be given a lot of credit for that. But let's focus on the name of our Facebook page instead shall we?

I just hope we don't one day get to find out what it is like to have genuinely bad owners (although having been there before you wouldn't expect that scenario necessary to give some people perspective on the Allams as owners).

Well put!

The Facebook garbage is the umpteenth example of sly and provocative goal-post moving, like the continued refusal to call our club Hull City in all the media communications and the continued blank name on the club badge, which will go down in history in the negative column with the words petty, vindictive and short-sighted in brackets after it.
We've just had the best 10 years in our history. Why are we not playing in a 30,000 sold-out stadium at every home game, instead of the League 1 size crowds we are now getting?
Will the Allams be known as the ones who shrunk our fanbase during our best ever era?
Answers on a postcard to Tiger Marine c/o the KC stadium.
(Honey, I shrunk the fanbase!)

Really? You don't think City could do any better than this?

I can think of one reason we aren't playing in front of a 30,000 sold out stadium every week.

Agree with your other points. The badge thing was pathetic and was his equally pathetic way of trying to back up his assertion we had been .Hull City Tigers since 1904 in response to the 1904 chants when we had been nothing if the sort.

Let me guess....it's because the wealthy tenant refused to speak to the nasty landlord a few years ago when an East Stand Upper tier was mooted ?

You mean when were getting nigh on full houses and it was mentioned about the extra tier, the extra rows at the back behind the goals etc ...I imagined that?

I was commenting on your question as to why we aren't getting sell out 30,000 crowds every week.

Er....when have we ever played in front of crowds of 30,000, well, since the 60s anyway? We had good crowds in the first year in the prem when it was all new, a d a few fair weathers were attracted, but sadly I genuinely believe about 20,000 is what we can realistically achieve regularly, thanks to the apathy of many Hull folk. I would be very surprised if post Allams we started even filling our 25,000 stadium.

Premier League and we fill, Championship and we don't, it's a fairly straight forward proposition.

We have had bad owners

We also had exciting times fighting for promotion from division 4 and division 3

Winning promotion from any league was great

Last time we had a league crowd of over 30,000 was Boxing .Day 1966 against Huddersfield, 35,000 (the day after at Huddersfield the crowd was 32,000 to show how times change, though the Huddersfield crowd contained the largest City away following for a league game I can recall), the last 30,000 crowd we had was for the West Ham cup game in 1973, 32,000. Was at both of them. Since the Huddersfield game you can count on both hands the number of times we got over 25,000 for a league including the great season under .Terry Neill, and most of those were only just over, until we got in the PL.
