Good, supportive article in Football Republik http://footballrepublik.com/hull-city-afc-tiger-came-tea/?
Loved this bit: “Hull City AFC is the thread which connects Boothferry Park, the KC Stadium and Wembley; that links Raich Carter, Chris Chilton and Ken Wagstaff to Ian Ashbee, Dean Windass and the team of today. It represents our community.”
1 - Cash Converters on the shirt (Shameful) 2 - The fact that if you stop to take a piss after the match ends means you're then waiting 30 minutes in the freezing cold for the next Park and Ride bus. 3 - The water used for the hot-drinks tastes rank 4 - The cone in the speakers in the West Upper have blown and sounds a racket when they turn up the volume just before kick-off 5 - The fact that you if you stop to take a piss at half-time, you have no chance of getting served before the second-half kicks-off. 6 - The fact that supporters seem to groan at every wayward pass any one of our team makes (particularly aimed at the Simpson/Koren haters) 7 - The fact that there is always some bastard lighting up in the toilet at half-time when I'm taking a piss (notice the theme here) 8 - Why do they not serve chips in the concourse? 9 - Why can you not get an internet signal between the KC and the Park and Ride bus (while you're waiting 30 minutes in the freezing pissing cold) 10 - The confrontational "We say No Allam" chant... Don't mind the City ones, but that one will be making him even more determined. A grumpy old man.
I'm surprised you've not got "people who are bothered by the name change" on your list. You like many others who pretend not to be bothered about the proposed name change spend an awful lot of time either contributing to, or starting threads about the name change.
"10 - The confrontational "We say No Allam" chant... Don't mind the City ones, but that one will be making him even more determined." It's not quite as confrontational as telling people who are customers and fans that they can die as soon as they want.
7. Is the theme one that you are extremely short-sighted. Which is a polite way of asking if you are stupid as this post makes you appear. You are a Grumpy old man? This post makes you sound like a hysterical pre-pubescent. An internet signal more important than 109 years of your foot all club's history. With fans like you we don't need enemies.
ears Who is we? I support the team as much as you. You think Tom Huddlestone loses any sleep over our 109 years of history?... Is he an enemy too?
I take it this is just a bit of harmless fun, so fair play mate. If it isn't, well then you are a desperately shallow individual, i'm afraid. Oh and i'm sorry about your bladder troubles, but congratulate you on speaking out on a problem, many would feel embarrassed to. These things need to be out in the open, and you will be helping many others to face their own incontinence issues. Good man
It would be interesting to know his thoughts if this were happening to the club he supports rather than the one he's employed by. There is a big difference.
The replies so far highlight point 11: 11. The self-righteous brothers of the holy order of anti-Allamism have no bloody sense of humour. But back to your problems. May I suggest 2, 5 and 7 could easily be solved if you fix a suitable tube to your nob-end and insert the other end into a hot water bottle firmly attached to your leg. Of course you will need to wear quite baggy trousers to hide this arrangement, but the warming effect of your piss container will be a real comfort during cold match days.
Thought Markkc's post was quite amusing however, it appears to have turned into another spat about who qualifies to be a 'proper fan'. Just to add my twopenneth myself and many of the fans around me at the Stoke game stood up and sang at 19.04, followed by a pretty decent round of applause. The majority however did not join in with the several outbursts of "we said no Allam" and I could cleary hear people saying "that's enough now". I agree with Markkc on point 10 and feel it's a bit of an aggressive chant rather than one of protest.
Do you count yourself within this group? As I said yesterday, many of the "Anti Allam Club" are either pro or indifferent to the proposed name change.
So, if it's not you, who is it you're referring to? You're the only one who's posted so far that I remember having ever posted any anti Allam posts.
We is Hull City. Players come and go, as do chairmen. Supporters are with the club through thick and thin. Gloryhunters are willing to put up with anything to get their vicarious thrills through rubbing shoulders with the supposed big boys of the PL.
Have I got it all wrong then. Are you and your mates really the "We love Assam fan club?" I've been so blind!!
I seriously question how the campaigners think they can influence the not-bothered to their cause. Me: "I'm not bothered about the name change" Campaign supporter #1: "You're not a true supporter" Campaign supporter #2: "And a c***" Me: "OK, I'm still not bothered but now I'm anti the campaign supporters."
