    Some of the comments on there are daft and don't think things through. With all the PL money £20 is plenty is one.
    Not just for us but anyone else. If you get relegated explaining that after paying £20 to watch games against .Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City this season you will have to pay £30 of more to watch your team play Brentford, Barnsley and Wigan would be a tricky one.

    They'll definitively not bother.

    Then keep it at '£20 is plenty' in all divisions then.
    It's working wonders at places like Bradford and Huddersfield. And they don't have parachute payments.

    Missing the point though, Driff.

    If given the chance would the majority of city fans prefer a Portsmouth situation.lower league football but with fan ownership.personally I would love it.and eventually I think we could have a decent championship side.possibly the odd yo-yo period into the premier league.a bit like we are now maybe

    I think a majority of fans who used to go before the arrival of AP and the move to the KC might, remembering when going to a match meant meeting up with some mates, having a few pints and having a good time with some spontaneity about things rather than having a "match day experience". The ones who like to sit in comfort quietly watching the game, who have never known real adversity,might not. Those who disappeared whenntimes were bad and reappeared when they improved, always saying they had supported City for so many years, omittingnto say that their support during that time didn't include going during the bad times wouldn't either.

    I want the PL under a decent owner/CEO who understands football, this city and this club.

    Adam Pearson would be ideal.

    That's the point. It doesn't have to be 'PL under Allams' versus 'lower league / Pompey situation'. It could, and should, be as City Man says 'PL under a decent owner / CEO who understands football, this city (ah hem, region) and this club'.

    Seeing the 'Field of Dreams' video brought it all back home for me; recapturing the atmosphere, spirit, feelings from those days and building it to new levels as a PL club - something we'd waited long enough for. It could, and should, have been oh so different to how it's turned out. Maybe it can be recaptured and rebuilt under the right stewardship?

    Looks like some of us have been getting in for free.

    Got a letter from the club saying computer has not been taking some supporters direct debit payments for september and october.

    Will I get in touch with them as soon as possible

    Anyone else got the same letter

    Did it have the words Hull City AFC prominently displayed on the letterhead?
    If not you should ignore it...it's probably a scam

    I would have thought it was a scam not connected with the club if it did have the words Hull City AFC prominently displayed.

    Check your bank statements, if the money has left your bank then you don't want to be paying twice.

    Our ticketing systems are archaic, the corporate ticket applications are a joke and they don't even bother responding to complaints about it.

    Of course they don't. How dare the businessmen handing over large amounts of money to them complain about how they run their business?
