I was on a zero hour contract, then moved to a permanent position on peanuts until securing this permanent job on a lot better pay. Does anyone know what the season ticket numbers were the last time we was in the Premier League and then the following season going down to the Championship, I'm just curious to whether it'd the division we're in or the Allam's. I'm aware that it could be a combination of both but the figures will give a better reflection to how many are Allam related, I also know they will be a few more waiting to get theirs and would guess at the start of the season the numbers will be 11500-12000.
Good point regarding dropping down a division impact last time. Personally, I think a lot of people are pissed off with Allam and said enough is enough. TWT as always.
Actually I'm slightly surprised so many have renewed I think it was similar to last relegation ( within 1000 or so) ? Mind you given that the vocal ones are a fairly small minority it'll be interesting to see whether two years of non renewal churn means the % of hooligans has reduced a lot? Not good for atmosphere IMHO
Let's be fair here, the decrease isn't just down to price increases or Allam pissing people off with the name change fiasco, his spat with the council, his disgraceful treatment of people in the Airco saga etc... A lot of them are Premier League fans who haven't renewed. If we get promoted they will be back even if prices go up more than any price increases. That's life.
The bonus is that there will be less of the sit down, shut up brigade at away games more interested in taking photos of the opposition than supporting the team.
Fair enough - it's just that most of your recent posts have been critical ones & the irrelevant attempt to compare Dortmund's treatment of fans with Hull City's was taking it a bit too far. I used to enjoy reading most of your posts as you seem to know a lot about what is happening in the club but now I find them boringly "same-ish" as they are predominantly concerned with your anti-Allam obsession.
All but two, until recently one, stadiums in Italy are owned by councils, not the club. The countries you mention have less continuity than we have had in this country. They have had national leagues for less time, had dictators who made clubs amalgamate or change their names. Germanyndidn't even have a national league until 1963. And when it started Bayern weren't even in it and 1860 were the top Munich club. Good article here aboutb1860 Munich. 57,000 there for a play off game to,see if they dropped into the third flight, which is a bit like our Conference. Interesting read about 1860 Munich here- http://www.theguardian.com/football...860-munich-bayern-bundesliga-germany-football
Bradford City's season pass sales just passed 13,500. That's what happens when you price them appropriately.
So Adam Pearson was ripping us off for years and years then. Worra **** he was. And the Allams are too. Or is it apples and oranges again.
Adam Pearson didn't put prices up almost 40% in two seasons, nor did he charge Premier League prices for Championship football, so yes, that would be apples and oranges.
So the moderator who labelled Hull City fans who chose to watch their team at Huddersfield as being "akin to scabs" has now decided to play at Allam apologist. Your cry baby attitude to HCST since the "evictions" does you no credit Dutch. See you all at Accrington. NOT ONE PENNY WE ARE HULL CITY.
Being a moderator is **** all to do with my opinions. Unlike a fair few on here, I don't just believe any old bullshit just because it seems to initially support my beliefs. A fair amount of it is musguided, wrong or lies. You keep saying I called people 'akin to scabs' when that was initially me replying to a comment in an earlier thread. I've not apologised for Allam either, all I've done is point out that mud hurling is misguided and counter productive if the basis for it is wrong. It's not as if there aren't enough genuine reasons to hurl mud, without weakening the arguments by inventing them. I've also not cried about the evictions, I've consistently said they're done, it's people trying to rewrite reality that make that claim. I do raise it when I see the hypocrisy it shows on other positions. I'm sure CTWD/trust will stand on its own cv, eventually. People seem to think if they repeat a lie often enough, it would become the truth. If you want to have a discussion, feel free, but don't invent non-existent scenarios, there's a love.
