Take the piss all they like. Anything those ****s do will always, thats ALWAYS, be overshadowed by April 13th 2014. That proper shut the ****s up. All the ****ing bully fans picking on little kids along Anlaby Road during the 70's and 80's. The regular defeats. and so on. Well 5 - 3 tops the ****ing lot for me. And then 1 - 0 against the Biggest Club In The World. Get ****ed sheffield
That's a great listen. Surprised, but pleased, at how frank & open Geoff Bielby is in this interview. As far as I could see previously, he's been incredibly diplomatic ... but no more, had enough, and just telling it as it is. And it's damning. Certain other influencers working in our local media should take a leaf out of his book.
Agree totally Driff'.... whilst he gave up one or three gems... he was still biting his lip to a degree I feel..
I “I wouldn’t trust [Ehab Allam] to run a bath, let alone my football club.” Tremendous quote from Geoff Bielby.
HCST Statement – Supporters’ Committee Meetings Hull City Supporters’ Trust wishes to place on record our extreme disappointment at the cancellation of last night’s Supporters’ Committee meeting. Mr Allam cited an article in the Hull Daily Mail as his reason for calling off the meeting, claiming that he could not operate under a “thinly veiled threat of further disruptive action” by HCST. The article in question can be found here. We do not accept this as a valid reason to cancel a meeting which people had given up their own time to attend. If you read the article it is absolutely clear no threat is made by HCST. Just an observation that after over four years of bad relations between the owners and supporters and two meetings that have yet to provide any progress, if there were to be no tangible improvements then it was conceivable protests could start again. That is reality. We would like to remind Mr Allam that these extraordinary meetings of the Supporters’ Committee were arranged by him in order to try and reach an amnesty and put a stop to protests. We presented Mr Allam with a detailed proposal on how concession tickets could be re-implemented easily and at no cost to the club, but we are yet to hear any feedback on this. Similarly we also presented Mr Allam with an alternative version of the current naming guidelines used by the club. The only changes we made were to never use Hull City Tigers or Hull Tigers and to instead use Hull City. Again, we are yet to hear a response. Guideline 111 sent by the EFL to all member clubs in April 2017 details how Clubs should conduct supporters meetings or forums. HCST sought clarity on how the Supporters Committee should be structured in future and requested the club follow these guidelines to the letter. We await feedback from Mr Allam on this also. Hard copies of the Guidelines were distributed to Supporters Committee members before participants left on Wednesday 7th February As always, HCST is willing to engage with any owners of Hull City AFC where there is a genuine desire to come to an agreement acceptable to all concerned. We believe Mr Allam’s actions will only result in exactly what he purported to avoid and strongly urge him to meet again with fans as soon as possible.
Are they for ****ing real. Should have made a public apology for the scarves and backed down from their threat but instead they issue another threat! MB
On the ropes and awaiting the knockout punch. An attempt to change their negative legacy has failed. No more appeasement. Bandits Out!
Good post. Half a dozen of the cuts cornered me in a garden down North Rd in 81. One if them head butted me but I managed to leg it. Really brave of them.
Just back on the comments Geoff made. Did he say the top 6 clubs have complained about Ehab trousering the parachute payments money?
Geoff's been playing a long game. He's not been fooled. He know's what he's doing. Geoff for PM. xxHTxx
There should have only ever been one item on the agenda for these meetings. When are you two ****s gonna **** off and what can we do to help facilitate this. Or is that two items?
I predicted a 10 minute meeting, I was wrong. Allams out. The best protest is for ALL fans to cancel their memberships.
Geoff: "How can we get the fans back on board"? Allam: "Geoff, I don't care"... Unbelievably, there are still two or three apologists still out there.
A good honest interview by Geoff, and great credit to him, as he has tried to find common ground between the warring factions, which frankly have never been possible with these 2 cretins.
