    That explains why most take place in the East Riding then, I can't see much take up in the council estates of Hull. The club could and should do something like it for free, good marketing or PR which ever you prefer and on top of that a scouting mission too.

    Tymon attended Malet Lambert secondary school, if that helps.

    We're talking about primary schools.

    Agreed. String him up and flog him in front of all the kids.

    Can't be having anyone from Hull come through our youth ranks now can we? Her aggro will be claiming credit somewhere.

    Please ask when will Away Direct be receiving tickets for seats that aren't stuck away in a corner, or yards beyond the touchline. Feel free to remind James Mooney of his words from last season, "Away Direct are our priority this season." When we don't sell our allocation I'll find somewhere else to stand, but when we do you get the 'it's MY seat and I MUST sit in it types, usually identified by the befuddled look on their faces as they search for said seat with ticket pressed firmly against their noses!




    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    I'm going to post Andy Dalton's full report on the meeting once it's ready, his meeting notes are always far better than everyone else's. Due to the nature of some of things we were consulted on last night, not everything can be published yet, so it's likely the details will have to be run by City before publication, so it may take a little longer than normal.

    If I've got time this morning, I'll go through and answer some of the specific issues raise in this thread.

    Usual self pitying Hull stuff. My lads used to go on these in East Riding along with plenty of kids from the local estates. Maybe some parents give their kids more priority than others. I used to go to Middlesbrough regularly in connection with junior football and the courses there were over subscribed with kids off council estates.

    Great post Chazz

    It's often well populated areas that create the best footballers. Especially as there's always large groups of kids of similar ages.

    Look at Brazil and the Favelas. Often the only thing the kids have is a patch of land and a football. They play it often and in great numbers - it makes them capable at dribbling in confined areas and highly skilled.

    Rooney and Gerrard both honed their footballing skills on heavily populated housing estates.

    An oversight by the club.

    Did you discuss season ticket prices? I'm not asking for details, unless you can provide them. Will there be any changes to the cheap children's passes? It would be nice if they come down but I'm not really expecting them to.

    Most of the meeting was about next seasons ticketing arrangements, but I'm afraid I'm not able to post any details of any of it yet, it will all be announced in a couple of weeks (after a bit of tweaking).

    The club accept that Away Direct members should be given priority when the seats are allocated and this will be addressed ongoing.

    I think this has been put on the back burner, though I can confirm that the goal music has definitely been binned.

    Seriously for a sec and I accept you might be cynical, how did the meeting feel to you? Positive? Like they were listening? Or not.

    We can have one if we want one, but we declined this kind offer.

    You'll have to get a girlfriend instead.

    Overall, it was a very positive meeting.

    Much of it was us being told the club's short and long term aims, which were generally very well received.

    The meeting was 3 1/2 hours long and was mainly centred around ticketing arrangements. It was primarily in the form of a presentation with an opportunity for us to give our opinions and suggest amendments to what was proposed and having taken so long, there was very little time to go over other issues in much detail.

    With that in mind, I'm going to email James with some of things raised on here, particularly the stuff about schools, to try and get some further information.

    The only negative issue, is the club's (or more accurately, the owners) ongoing insistence on pretending we're not called Hull City, something that will hopefully be addressed in the not too distant future.
