Please join the Trust...

Lost my membership badge somewhere where so I get a new one from.

 

Still one of my favourite photos of the ground

 

Looks like my second teams ground.

 

Disappointed with the Trust's tweet yesterday. As a member, I'll be contacting them today, and I hope they seriously consider deleting it. Pleased to see the thread has been unpinned on here too.

 

What was the Tweet that you found to be disappointing?

 

Depending on your point of view, Kenilworth Riad could have shown how not to sing the national anthem.

HCST communications should be about Hull City and the supporters, not lecturing others how to support their clubs or country. Not a good way to encourage renewals.

 

The Trust taking a swipe at another club’s supporters isn’t the best look either.

 

Without getting to political.

Liverpool as a City has axe to grind with the establishment and rightly so. I don't think it's controversial that they booed the GSTK.

 

What axe is that? More or less than anywhere else, I genuinely don't know.

 

Without getting political, a look at the data would suggest that far more Cities have a much bigger axe to grind with the establishment and that there is a fair amount of what they blame on the establishment that was self inflicted but don't behave like they do. And before anyone pipes up, this predates Hillsborough and Heysel. There is also the very obvious fact that the 'institution' they feel aggrieved by wasn't a result of actions by Royalty.

I think our own City is a good example of the way two conflicting positions can be held simultaneously, with us rejecting Royalty, including the 'honoury title' but being relatively supportive of the institution.

 

It was an unnecessary tweet from the Trust. They should probably consider the fact that some of their members are sympathetic to Liverpool fans’ stance and others aren’t. No point in the Trust endorsing one viewpoint or the other when it’s **** all to do with Hull City.

 

Can someone explain the Liverpool issue please?

 

Didn’t even spell-check it for typos which shows how much thought (or lack of) went into it.

 

Ah, the minority

Jeez, 7 years gone!!

 

Yes agree not relevant to City. Bit of a dig at Liverpool obviously. Thanks for reply. It was more a question about the City of Liverpools stance re the establishment. Does it stem from Hillsborough?

 

A Google search doesn't come up with much of a definitive answer, even their local papers get a bit mixed up. It's become their thing and there's a good chance those booing don't know why themselves.

 

It depends on the age and experience of the person you ask. The underlying issues predate Hillsborough and Heysel and relate to them feeling that they got a raw deal from central governments.

 

I’m not entirely sure. I’m sure it’s a couple of things. Hillsborough, Thatcher’s comments on ‘managed decline’, the strong Irish heritage of the city/Merseyside, especially from Irish emigrants caused by the famine etc.
