    Knowing your circumstances, if we have been a help, then that's far more important than most of the **** we all post.

    As Obi made sure to spread his sugar-coated goo so wholesome and pure, taking issue with the points he raised would simply lead to:
    a) being accused of WUMMING (Kempton, you etc)
    b) being accused of being a c*** (Cheshire Ben, Namechange?)


    However a question (just out of curiosity)
    Did the leaflet make any reference to the Twitter account because the number of followers has increased by less than 100 since Friday evening.

    For the record I agree with OLM, Kempton, Golaccio to a point in that I don't want Allam out.

    However I don't think this name change is the only thing he's done wrong. I regularly hear about things that he's done/doing (some of which are definitely true and some of which might not be true) which are disappointing and sigh-worthy but unsurprising because they're so regular. Assem falls out with people left, right and centre. Most of what he says in the public domain is inappropriate, attention-seeking nonsense. Most of his senior staff completely disagree with what they're being told to do. Thompson was completely stitched up regarding the name change thing. Regardless of what you think about the name change itself the treatment of Thompson in not telling him was just ridiculous and completely unfair. My big fear is that Steve Bruce will eventually become another Allam casualty. They seem to have a good relationship at the moment though. I just hope that doesn't change.

    Assem is a good owner overall but he's far from perfect.

    In the fullness of time some fans will see that the idea of the rebranding is so that he can get out of being owner & sell it onto other interests who may be even less in the HULL element

    The thing is that when each line is crossed the next one gets easier to cross

    The thing is that he was probably screwed over by Adam not the Allams

    That is why we know Allam is bullshitting, I read recently that building a football stadium costs around £2 million per 1000 capacity, so a direct replacement for the KC at Melton would cost around £50 million. Just where is that money going to come from ? Could such a stadium pay for itself only being used during the football season by Hull City ? (sorry Melton Tigers)

    One thing I hope the Council has learned from all this is that Allam considers them irrelevant & never agree to sell him the KC (let alone give him it as he would like)

    If you want to take issue with the points I raise why don't you do it? I've answered questions and replied to points raised by other people so I don't see why you can't.

    The leaflet mentioned twitter. To be honest I don't really care for it. I don't have an account and very rarely look on it. I'm old fashioned in that way. Did the fact that less than 200 marched against Cardiff City stop me wanting to campaign to save our name? No it didn't. Does the fact that less than 100 new twitter followers affect me? Not really.

    You've previously admitted you come on the threads to wind people up because you believe questioning the Allams is wrong & inappropriate.

    You've previously said you're not against the name change & suggested you were in the group who had taken their 30 pieces of silver.

    You've previously stated that for the record you are neither for it, or against it.

    You've previously said that you are not for Hull City Tigers & very few people are & that we are Hull City, We are The Tigers.

    You've previously said that less than 5% of supporters were for the name change, without argument.

    You've previously suggested the "for" & "against" camps could be a 50/50 split.

    You've previously said openly, on different posts to the ones above, that 95% of supporters do not want the name change.

    You've said previously that you sympathise with supporters who don't like Hull Tigers & Hull City Tigers as you too don't like it.

    You've previously suggested the rebrand isn't a bad idea.

    You've previously berated supporters who are questioning the Allams regarding the name change although you sometimes agree with their views.

    You've previously suggested we'd be the laughing stock of football because our supporters are being indignant by speaking out at the name change.

    You previously stated (nearly two weeks ago) that you refuse to comment on this topic anymore.


    To enhance your footballing knowledge & dispel any indication that you're new to this football lark you have also:-

    Previously suggested we change our entire team for the Man City game as we'd get battered anyway, which would be bad for moral.

    Admitted to having not ever heard of Shane Long

    Suggested that you not ever hearing of Shane Long was because Lukaku had a good season last year.


    You've previously stated that your posts are consistent in there content. I agree with this, they are consistently full of contradictory ****, & that is why Kempton & others call you a wind up merchant & Agro & myself refer to you as a ****. You ****.

    er.... that's rather un-nerving that you have taken the time to back-catalogue my posts. How weird of you.

    You just subscribe to threads, it's simple.

    Shown you up for the WUM **** you are though, fair play for not denying it.

    But what the hell....

    Let's look at the evidence m'lad.

    "You've previously admitted you come on the threads to wind people up because you believe questioning the Allams is wrong & inappropriate."
    - I have never admitted to wind people up. It is possible that my responses wind people up. But that is not my intention. My intention is to state why I disagree with your point of view.

    "You've previously said you're not against the name change & suggested you were in the group who had taken their 30 pieces of silver."
    - Not opposing the name change is not the same as supporting it. I believe I have made this point a number of times.

    "You've previously stated that for the record you are neither for it, or against it."
    - Yes, I do not support it, I do not oppose it. We agree.

    "You've previously said that you are not for Hull City Tigers & very few people are & that we are Hull City, We are The Tigers."
    - I concur. I will continue to refer to the team as City. The Allams and Nick Thompson expect fans to refer to their team as they always have.

    "You've previously said that less than 5% of supporters were for the name change, without argument."
    - I concur. There is a difference between pro-name change, and not anti-name change. I get tired of making this point.

    "You've previously suggested the "for" & "against" camps could be a 50/50 split."
    - Slightly taken out of context. That was my estimate based on non606 posters. Not606 seems to attract fans who are very clearly in one camp or another.

    "You've previously said openly, on different posts to the ones above, that 95% of supporters do not want the name change."
    - Do not want the name change is consistent with the 5% pro, however see point above, this does not mean that 95% of supporters will oppose the name-change. Oppose suggests they will do something active to show their opposition.

    "You've said previously that you sympathise with supporters who don't like Hull Tigers & Hull City Tigers as you too don't like it."
    - True, see comment above.

    "You've previously suggested the rebrand isn't a bad idea."
    - I'd like to see exactly what I said. What I more likely said was that Allam has the right as owner to pursue avenues of future additional investment, and if he believes rebrand is the way to go, then that is his prerogative as the owner of the club.

    "You've previously berated supporters who are questioning the Allams regarding the name change although you sometimes agree with their views."
    - Being disrespectful to the Allams and what they have done for the club yes, berating them for being ridiculously petty about losing their heritage...possibly. However in my world, berating would be the equivalent of calling someone a c***. This is something you do almost on a daily basis. Please find me a post where I have done the same.

    "You've previously suggested we'd be the laughing stock of football because our supporters are being indignant by speaking out at the name change."
    - Again taken out of context, but yes a small band of grumpy old men trying to get their picture in the paper every other week doesn't bode well.

    "You previously stated (nearly two weeks ago) that you refuse to comment on this topic anymore."
    - Ah guilty m'lad. That was however before the "campaign" relaunched.

    "Previously suggested we change our entire team for the Man City game as we'd get battered anyway, which would be bad for moral."
    - Yes it appears as my light hearted suggestion was taken as an easy swipe for the individuals on here who I seem to have got under their skin.

    "Admitted to having not ever heard of Shane Long"
    - Shoot me, I hadn't subscribed to Sky Sports for a number of years as the Premier League had become predictable. Seriously I'd never heard of Shane Long as I don't follow West Brom. I haven't even bothered with Match Of The Day... but I did watch the Football League Show to see the 40 seconds of highlights that they usually showed.

    Please review my answers above, and if you still believe them to be contradictory then clearly we do not speak the same language.

    However that was still very weird what you did.... you must be very bored.

    HDM has a live section?

    I know that they had one in 2008, for games, but last I heard it was closed down when we got relegated.
    I might check it out.

    Decent coverage of the campaign on Look North this lunchtime, I assume they'll run the same piece tonight.
