New owner confirmed…

You mean like every other football club in the world?

 

Why on earth did you even give a ****? You were just a steward, on minimum wage.

 

Yes

only before the electronic system was introduced staff would take the pass /card off the person check the type adult / consession then challenge age if needed and either send to the ticket office or retain the pass then ot would have to be collected from the ticket office to explain. A system used at most other clubs

I'm sure some got through but not many

But as I said staff were then told not to challenge due to the long queues

 

Back then the stewards and turnstyle staff were completely separate most of the turnstyle staff had worked for the club for over 20 years and moved across from Boothferry park

 

We have to face the facts, this vote, like all the others the Allam's have introduced, and a delaying tactic to try and show they are engaging with fans. Remember the last time Ehab wanted to build bridges with fans when they didn't want Assam Allam's big day spoiling when the Queen opened his new wing at the University. AS soon as the day passed, everything went quiet again.

All these votes are purely to play for time until they get what they want their money back, by selling players and then finally the club.

Any normal businessman who had introduced a pricing system that had lost him 10,000 customers and millions of pounds of income would just lower prices and bring back concessions and get customers back.

The Allam's know, and have stated they will not put another penny into the club, so they don't care how many come through the turnstiles, because they will only spend what they have, and that means the less revenue, then less they will spend on the team.

So in the final judgement, they will blame the fans because we got a team we paid for. You can't win with these twats, they will play people along as long as it takes, and there are a few that still think the sun shines out of their rear end.

 

Then there's only 1 likely outcome... We need to sell as many players as possible to lower the asking price of the club. If we can get the club down to £15-20m, hopefully someone will come along and save us from these twats.

We'll have a piss poor team that will most likely be relegated but who cares if it means getting rid of the Allams.

 

So allowing adults in on kids tickets (regardless oh how many it was) was actually a choice that Ehab* made then...interesting


*and no I don’t think it would have been a delegated decision by someone else

 

I think this was always a cocked up cost saving by the club
They didn’t want to employ people who checked tickets to make sure the right people were going in (people who often could spot away fans in the wrong end by the way)...and them sulked when some people went in on the wrong ticket.

Not having a go at you by the way. The answer to resolving the problem was to employ a few more people to check tickets, even just on the way to the turnstiles. But they’d rather chop everyone’s nose off than admit they were wrong

 

I think one of the major reasons, and maybe the only reason, for the removal of concessions was the Liverpool game when the Allams failed to get the pay day they expected.

 

It was triggered by complaints from fans about rows and rows of empty seats, many in what is considered the best viewing sections of the West Stand. These 'empty' seats suddenly filled up when we played the so-called glamour clubs, yes like Liverpool.
They were being bought on children's passes ( concessions) and not used for the run of the mill league games but simply upgraded for the big games.
Also a check was done at a hull fc game on just two turnstiles for a home game. It was said that 80% of those entering the stadium on a child's tickets were fraudulent.
It also goes unmentioned that the current membership scheme was run past selected groups 'representing' fans and it was given the thumbs up.
I was against ID cards/membership cards when Mrs Thatch tried to introduced them with Colin Moynihan, and I still am.
There should be concessions for kids and OAP's. Simple as.

 

The club were able to detect how many tickets were fraudulently used but weren't able to do anything about it? How does that work? How do you observe that one is fraudulently used and why would you not immediately confront those people? That absolutely reaks of bullshit.

Also bullshit is your assertion that fan groups gave the scheme their backing. They were shown something completely different to what was later announced and implemented. They supported the idea in principle but voiced reservations about parts of the scheme which weren't explained fully. Those issues were never dealt with.

Fancy you being the one to inaccurately push Ehab's side of the story.

 

That is what I feel, there is only one outcome, and the sooner these 2 twats go the better for Hull City AFC. As the longer it goes on, the lower we will sink.

 

'many raised issues' ?
Not everyone and it sailed through.

 

Considering Allam Snr was meant to be at death's door a year or 2 back he looks surprisingly fit in this photo, taken this month.

What’s he doing dressed like that in the morning?
No sense of style or decorum

Edit - Oops misread ‘month’ for ‘morning’...

 

Get down off your high horse and stick your bullshit allegation where the sun don't shine. Because you don't believe something it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The people entering the turnstiles on concessionary tickets were confronted, that was the idea, and if they didn't fit the criteria for the concession they were turned away. That's what happened and it was more widespread at the rugby then the club first thought.
Its not bullshit that the scheme was run past fans 'representatives' and given the thumbs up. Maybe not by everyone but certainly by enough to give it an air of respectability. No-one asked me for my view on it and I would guess that would also apply to 95% of fans.
But fancy it being you to jump down the throat of someone daring to suggest something you don't go along with.

 

A pal of mine at work has a season pass for forest every year and told me today his 9 year old son gets the seat next to him for £20 a season..great idea

 

But that is a failing system and ours is the way forward. That must be correct, Ehab said so...
