Membership scheme vote - Concessions to return...

Option 3 for me - Allams Out.

I am sick of their rigged votes- Heads we win, Tails you lose. How difficult does it have to be? Just add discounted prices, e.g. Kids for free (under 5), 12 & under £10, under 18 and OAP £15, Adults £25. Surely it's better to have the stadium brimming with cheaper seats, than less than half full with full price. Also, additional merchandise, food, drinks, programmes, shirts etc. Simple as. For anyone with an ounce of common sense.

Even Donny Rovers can steal a march on the business brains of Hull City. Ditch the half time crap "entertainment" and invite local youth teams to take part in penalty shoot out competitions on the pitch at half time. The kids would love being on the big pitch, big size nets. The players for free, but each to be accompanied by at least 1 paying adult, you would probably see the whole family turning up. This is something my son was invited to when he was younger, he absolutely loved it, particularly as he saved a few penalties in the big nets in front of a match day crowd. (Ok, it was Donny) but you get my drift!

 

Ben nearly got run over by a female supporter pushing a twin buggy at Scarborough with two very young future fans in .

 

Ahhhhhhhhh......................

 

I don't

 

I threw myself under it, suffragette style protest.

 

No doubt that's the real number plus 20% in Allam world

 

Thought I'd just give the vote ago, using my, what I assumed was a now [old] invalid booking ticket number thing & it let me ...
Voted B in case you wondered
what it will be counted as only the Profit Allams will know ...

 

Latest news from the club is that 32% have voted, meaning 84% are yet to vote.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

Is this from the the same reliable source who provide attendance figures?

 

Ok, so I've just returned from hols and apart from this thread, missed the developments re the ballot. First thought was that I wasnt interested in another rigged ballot which they will try to use as evidence of listening to fans, we've had two already, which were ignored as he didn't get his own way.
We are told over 30% have voted already so there is a chance it will reach the 40%. If I do vote, it'll be for return of concessions. I haven't looked in depth how much that will cost me, and now we have settled into North stand, don't fancy another eviction (has he tried to justify why the eviction is linked yet? Is it another opportunity to split the more militant again?), but the future of the club is more important here. I suspect the majority on this board would vote the same way, but probably not representative of everyone able to vote, so of the alleged 30odd% who have voted, what is the feeling of how it's going?
The club's openness around how many have voted in an apparent attempt to encourage more to vote suggests to me they are confident the result will be no change?

 

I might try that library card you wax lyrically about, see if I can get a second vote.

 

Always use your right to vote.

However I’m with you (literally) in that it’s a vote for concessions with a hope that sense prevails on yet another seat move

Bite size chunks I think. Get the concessions over the line then start a concerted effort to have it implemented without a move

**for what it’s worth I’d support a campaign for a mass pass cancellation by everyone in North. Immediately if the T&Cs allow (based on the fact they would have broken their part by denying me access to the seat I’m paying for)

 

I've had a first look at the options in detail. Am I right in thinking most families with kids would actually be better off under the revamped Current model (option A)? So leaves kids who go unaccompanied, OAP's and those with disabilities hanging out to dry?
Realistically then, these latter cohorts and the few members who remain principally opposed to the lack of unconditional concessions are the only ones likely to vote B?

 

Kids can't go unaccompanied. You have to be over 14 to go on your own. Some clubs have pricing structures which take that into account and have discounted prices for 14-18 or 14-20 year olds.
Of course they are not as far sighted as our business genius owners who seem to think that kids priced out of it will suddenly become fans after not going to football for years as soon as they start earning.

 

How the hell do they know what the actual percentage is if Ron B has been able to vote using an old booking ticket number?

 

It's based on 'official crowd' [estimation] figures of each match, factoring in the ['potential'] Hull Tiers City Asian market] using an inverse multiplication of the actual membership number, minus the people who voted against their 'stewardship' in the original vote of no confidence.
Praise be to Profit Allams

 

I spoke to a couple of members this morning who knew nothing about any vote. They don't do social media and haven't had anything from the club informing them of a vote.

 

Don't read the HDM as well. Who can blame them for that though?
