They've only gone and used our name

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

What a load of absolute bollocks. OLM, We published on our old web site, just because you cannot see it now does not mean it did not happen. The Director who attended reported things as he saw them. We asked supporters via facebook and twitter what questions we should raise and these were raised. Second paragraph, I do not know who raised the point but we were asked to and it was raised. Now you may argue that what was said and minuted was just to fob supporters off, but on two occasions to my recollection, you have been to meetings and held back information at the request of the club and the SAG.

This is the notes from the meeting

Communication

· The club acknowledged that communication is important and are keen to address this. They are hoping to have another interview with Ehab after the current transfer window. Ehab will comment on what has happened and not on what might happen. It was also noted that Ehab is fully open to such interviews and these should happen more often.

· The use of Tigers TV and other media outlets should also see a greater amount of communication from the club with staff and players.


Use of Club name

·
Requested that Hull City was reinstated on all media channels like the Twitter has been. Option suggested by club for the Facebook to be changed to HullCityTigers as per the business name.

· Point was raised that the club does not have a policy not to use Hull City and the new website content shows this.


Concessions/ membership

· Concessions were requested to be reinstated as costs for children were highlighted.

· Club is on course to sell 11,000 memberships and there are over 300 new members signed up this season. A breakdown of the membership numbers by age profile was requested and the club said they would release this.

· Members rewards are still based around the two pots (Spend in retail and receive retail points, spend on tickets and receive ticket points) however there are plans to merge the two to spend points were members want.

· Membership cards are being dispensed zone by zone and this started this week.


Transfers

· All transfers out of the club have finished unless there is a huge offer for a player. All the departed players were due to release clauses being met, huge offers (Maguire) or offers too good to turn down (Robertson).

· Contrary to some reports Huddlestone WAS offered a new contract BEFORE the approach from Derby, City also offered him improved terms after the approach.

· The club expect that five more signings is realistic and the club will have a wage budget on par with a top 6 team.


Tigers TV/ Streaming

· The club are currently assessing the idea of streaming games to fans outside the UK. However there is a big cost to this and there isn’t the sufficient equipment at the moment. The club will be releasing an update about this by the end of the week.

· They plan to make full match replays available 24 hours after the game.

· There was a request from an OSC member to have more child friendly videos on the YouTube channel like Soccer AM style and this is in the pipeline. Made easier through Leonid Slutsky being more ‘fun’.

Match day

· The OSC was asked to raise the point about home fans being held back from the East Stand after a game. The club do this on advice from security/ police and there are no plans to change this.

· Wi-Fi: Club aware of the poor internet connection in the ground and are investigating this.

· PA: Acknowledge that there is a problem but there are no plans to address this as it would take a six figure sum to change.

· South Stand is the dedicated Family Zone and there are plans to have activities on the concourse during a game. An astroturf area has been installed for children to use in the South Stand.


Food/ Drink

· Club expanding range of hot products to include Southern Fried Chicken, chicken burgers, Pizza twists and chip spice and a new range of pies.

· Samples were offered and all in attendance agreed the quality and price were good.

· Looking to make kiosks contactless to make service quicker.

· No plans to change the range of beers as bottles need to be plastic; anything else will mean a longer wait at the kiosk as beer/ cider would have to be decanted.

Did the update from the club, regarding live streaming, materialise by the end of the week?

I suppose because any use of hull city by the club is seen as a good thing in my eyes at this stage.

That doesn't make any sense Syd.
They aren't calling us 'Hull City'.
It reads 'Hull City Tigers'.
They continue to walk all over us, and the football authorities too.

And still they come.

Just one point re this, as it's really important and not reflected in that summary, what Tom Rowell actually claimed in the meeting, is that the club name is Hull City Tigers.

in the summary it said company name sorry business name.

I still have no empathy with those for whom this is a major issue. For people to say they will boycott matches until the Allams leave; what if they are bought out by someone worse? Will you still refuse to attend? And what are your criteria for deciding we have a good owner? I attended matches during periods of ownership by low-lifes like Fish, Lloyd, Bartlett and Duffen - and I don't regard the current owners as worse than any of them. Besides, Ehab has given up hope of changing the clubs name, but his ego means he can't help but make petulant gestures. Nothing has been said in the past that can't be forgotten. (Unless you're a puff who is still upset by the "I wish they would die" comment.) Meanwhile, it would really help if we could get behind Slutsky and the team.

Is your comment homophobic? Are you a full or part time ****er bobby?

No idea when or if it did CB.

I am not evading answering. I lost track of everything going on recently as I had to try to get the new web site running and it absorbed my time. I still have quite a lot to do on both sites. The old site crashed several times and I had to have it reset to an earlier date by the hosting company. I do not keep a track of what is posted on facebook or twitter, that's someone else's role.

The announcement about there being no live streaming next season came out two days after the supporter committee meeting.

What the club say they are going to do is meaningless , it's what they actually do that matters

The problem is, they even say they're not going to do anything.

You can tell I've not got much on today.

 

[TreeHugger]

Never realised that Burton Albion don't have their name on their badge either.

Also what's with the fat man in shoes with unacceptable high heels?

Good, but ageist. Why no mention of seniors.

 

[GEvans76]

It's all just meaningless attempts at PR from the puppets within the club.
Firstly they need to change everything back to Hull City apart from the badge which should should read Hull City AFC.
Bring back concessions and actually spend some money on players then make a full public apology whilst shutting the door behind you then you might not be the most hated meglomaniacs in the City.

It does say BAFC on the badge though.

Also, I'll wear whatever shoes I feel comfortable in.

It's not meaningless at all, just another example of how cunning and devious the Allams are. After using only Tigers for a year on the program, advertising, tickets and the like it does at first glance look like this is an improvement when in fact its just another con trick. Some view it as getting the name Hull City back when in fact you're getting what they wanted with the name change. If its not stopped now coupled with their reducing the number of protesters joining the membership scheme i wouldn't be suprised to hear talk of another ballot on the name.

It is meaningless to me as I did not even acknowledge it or take it for anything other than PR marketing nonsense prior to the first home game of the season.
You see it as cunning I don't.

Just a point but it's not is it? Didn't the mentalist claim to think we were always called Hull City Tigers and he wanted to shorten it to Hull Tigers?

I might be wrong here, I'm passed caring now. It used to be THE stick to beat them with but there's a ****ing rainforest worth now so even just dropping the name change wouldn't be enough for me. They simply have to go.
