Just listened to the interview. I think he sounds less bullish than during previous interviews. Not sure what that means if anything. Anyway best of luck with the sale.
F off both E + A Allams Theirs no going back for supporters around here now there's no bus running thanks to the Allams. And as I said before the results of games had nothing to do with it Only 4 people still go from around here that I know of , one takes the other 3 in his car. Some of the old blokes were 10+ years older then me and struggled to get to the bus station in Filey and had been going since before me.
Does anyone have any stats on the percentage increase in our away support since thousands of fans started boycotting home games?
Fair enough, last time I tried that was Stockport away with my wife & stepson, and the bloody stewards made us go in the home end. Mild applause at City scoring nearly got us beaten up.
If there was enough genuine interest in Filey and district for a bus for city games I'm sure one would be put on by EYMS who are not exactly burning any bridges customer wise lately. Or some enterprising person would hire a mini bus and drive you all there back for a reasonable ( and profit making) fare. I cannot see how it is the Allams fault.
Circular argument though If you accept that it’s the Allam’s fault that people don’t want to go (I know you don’t fully accept that mind you) then the people in Filey who have been put off by them means there won’t be enough interest for a minibus
But surely the interest should be in Hull City and football, not the Allams ? I know EYMS run a bus from the villages beyond Beverley, a double decker which passes through Cottingham with hardly any ****er on it, and back after a game. Surely if it was better advertised, or advertised at all, more people might use it ?
As you know some people have been put off going to City by the Allams, some have gone off league football completely and the Allams have tipped them over the edge and the average age is older so there bound to be some getting too old (or sadly too deep in the ground!) to go and there’s not a lot coming to replace them (Some come and go with success on the pitch, but I’ve ignored them as I assume we’re talking about some hardy souls who went through thin and thinner) So it isn’t as simple, for everyone at least, to say it’s just about Hull City and not the Allams. I do go, but I did boycott for a short while myself, and that was only due to the Allams. On the bus side though, I don’t really know where they run but I’d be surprised if they go to Filey. They could do with more publicity in general though I think (clearly if neither of us know then that’s a sign)
I know from this time last year when the Not 606 gang planned to go to a Scarborough game, the bus service was ****e and we couldn't do it.
So I’m asking was this a specific hull city bus? Put on by the club? Or did eyms just decide it wasn’t viable and stopped it??
I’d assumed it was arranged by fans from that area tbh, and simply stopped as numbers made it less viable, although not sure why I think that.
