The club name of Liverpool FC is Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Limited. Now, which one do you see them using on websites, badges etc? Of course what do they know about running a football club compared to Mr Allam?
The club name is Hull City. The name of the company that runs the business of a professional football team is Hull City Tigers Limited. Its not difficult to understand. Just another pathetic reason for the club to excuse the childish behaviour of our owners.
Let's face it, none of the important stuff will be dealt with whilst the Allams are still here. They may be discussed and it may have been a 'positive' meeting, but Tom Rowell is just another Allam puppet, much like Mooney was. This is just a tick box excercise for the FA.
Using the actual team name?! How very old fashioned and quaint No wonder no one's heard of them. Clearly they have poor quality marketing CVs
I've just got my season card!! And there it in bold zone 2 on it!! Why did you do it Cortez. You may as well have stuck the Star of David on my forehead. Shame on you
Toad in the hole in a bread cake would be a potential world wide phenomenon. Our signature banjo. Our version of the Big Mac or the Whopper.
This is basically it. They seem to see these meetings as an opportunity to argue that the fans are wrong to feel annoyed about things. There doesn't appear to be much listening going on.
I did ask earlier, productive to me means that something has been done. Positive and upbeat means all sides sat down chit chatted for a bit and some promises of things to be done or looked at were made.
I wasn't there, but according to our representative who was there, the club continue to deny the rebranding by stealth and there were no actions agreed to take from the meeting. It sounds to me like another utterly pointless exercise. They get people in, look after them with food etc and try to tell them why they're wrong about concessions, wrong about the branding and have absolutely no interest whatsoever in listening to their concerns or acting upon them. It's all been done before. Presumably this one, like its previous incarnations, will last no more than 3-4 meetings before quietly disappearing. Then a year or so after that they'll announce their next wonderful fan consultation programm and the cycle continues.
A famous case in the early sixties involving cabinet ministers, Russian spies and prostitutes. The rather attractive blonde one was asked by the QC " Are you aware that Lord Astor denies having sex with you?". To which she replied "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?" at which the court collapsed in laughter. You had to e around at the time and witnessed the deference the upper classes were used to being treated with and watch it start to crumble with satire, the Beatles, Stones, That Was The Week That Was etc to appreciate the impact that statement had in the media.
