    I've said this before, but I'm firm believer that everybody should say and do whatever think is right. Do what you want to do.

    I totally understand if anyone thinks I'm trying to influence.

    In truth, I'd never do that.

    Now come on City!

    Small stakes, cant afford to lose that much.

    But what odds would have been offered for that particular graphic to fly proudly outside the stadium? Yep, still scratching my head and muttering, and nah, can't be, and then skim back to the opening post, and yes, there it is, and start mumbling and muttering...hey ho.

    ... and great to be seeing stuff like this (below) too - meaning 'Hull City', #hcafc, #theTigers. These things do matter to many, me included.
    I guess we'll never know if it's an olive branch, a change of heart, finally 'getting it',etc etc or just, as DB alludes to, them realising they had to do something in order to get support / revenue back.
    Who knows, but it's good to see anyway. .
    Not sure I'm ready to change my picture back, but watch this space (still want them to sell up though)....

    I wonder what has changed over the last few years ?
    Amazing what you can do if you need the money from fans as opposed
    to been able to treat them as irrelevant

    Who writes the cheques?

    Who hires and fires?

    Who takes the risks?

    (Clue : it ain't Bob and Edna from the South Stand)

    It's their club they can do what they want.

    No one tells them how to run their business.

    This is all good stuff. Credit where and when it's due.

    I’m sorry but almost all of that is correcting wrongs they had already perpetrated, no credit for those corrections is due I’m afraid, none at all. So to say what more can they do is a very hollow justification or promotion of their actions.

    So you at least recognise an effort to make amends?

    I recognize the effort but on the basis they shouldn’t have done all that **** to start with they get no credit from me., none at all.

    It looks like Ehab is making more of an effort than his father and has been much more pragmatic in his approach. I can’t say he’s won me round, because he hasn’t, but I can appreciate the decisions made by the club board to try and get fans back on side.

    It’s a start, but it’s nowhere near the end if he wants to fully repair the damage.

    While it's true that they are making an effort to undo the damage, not sure I understand the 'very reasonably priced tickets' part. Is £33 for QPR very reasonably priced?

    There are numerous ways of reducing that..

    Season membership...£15.75 per game

    12 match bundle...£21 per game

    6 match bundle...£24 per game

    Match card...£6 discount on each ticket(this card costs £12,so if you're only going to 1,your out of pocket,2,you break even,any more you're saving.

    P.S There are also concessions available with the bundles.

    As far as I see it, the situation with the Allam's is similar to a woman or man who cheats on their spouse, but for the sake of the kids, they decide to continue the relationship. You carry on for the sake of the kids, the team in football in terms, but you never really forgive what they have done.

    Basically, you never forgive the Allam's but you continue to support the sake of the team. Not that far-fetched.

    Spot on Ric, the club are trying, and I cannot see much more they could do to be honest. Look at the cup game tomorrow at home to Wigan. My ticket cost me £6. You can pay nearly that for a pint in some places round here.
    They obviously got some things wrong in the past, who hasn't ? but the club and times have changed. We are no longer in the Premier League so the demand for tickets and everything is nowhere near the level it was, also staff members change and with that comes different ideas.
    If you look hard and long enough you can always find an excuse not to do anything.
    But I'm of the opinion that life is too short to take that attitude.
    So UTT.
