The list of things the 'current' owner has done to 'fan's grows & grows
After the season pass holders vote on whether we wanted the 'stupid name' (it's nickname) the whole areas I was in & the most vocal & 'resistant' got moved at the end of the season after 10-12 years in our seats since we moved stadia, 2 attempts with fabled 'business' reason for name change, 36% increase in prices over 2 seasons including relegation, falling out with the local council 'Hull City' - ooh & then he wants to change the name of the club from Hull City, when we got promotion last time instead of 'city' wide tour as previous - just at 'his' stadium, poor treatment of fans in general, disabled fans, closing down & 're-using' an adjoined sports arena the home of many local community & disabled groups, dismissing ground & cleaning staff (toilet-gtae stink was almost funny) , getting rid of ticket office* & turnstile staff with a system worthy of windows 95 in a windows 10 world (spectacular failures) , very antagonistic to fan groups or tokenism none-engagment , using 'Hull-Tigers' on all merchandise, media he can -even though the FA has rejected it twice... & yet some believe he's our saviour - 'bought' the club 24 hours before administration & gifted it to the people of the city at 4% interest, - a few hundred grand or more fee's & double the debt (rumour has it he bought it early at cost - with the hope of getting adjoined retail land & the stadium for free & when this did not come off has had a long running spat with Hull City council Vs his 'Hull Tigers' (sic).
New season pass / ticketing system for next season which personally would cost me less - though no concession for children or older adults (he's already scrapped disabled) -the most strange / complex 'zonal' pricing - so if you've had your seat since the stadium has opened the majority of people are being moved to accommodate their 'business genus, no comprehension of the social, communal tribal & friendship football engenders >>>'giving away fans the best view in the stadium or closing a whole area down
The turnout / tickets at Wembley
Reasons many
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
No ticket office to sell tickets - 'out sourced' to Ticketless Master - with a complex system to buy tickets some just couldn't get any, i.e. people who go on a causal basis, (non season ticket holders / ticket buying number) - last tie 2008 we took our full allocation plus more (& so did Brizzle)
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
Apathy maybe?
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
My 4th visit since 2008 (we are quite successful for a little club with no history - (the 'Wall' of the north -but less fashionable)
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
No ticket office to get tickets from
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
Finances - city still in depression
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
Children / over 65's concessions / disabled concessions removed having to pay full price next season -'new season ticket-less' system -zonal gerrymandering
Fan disenchantment with our 'owner's'
I'm sure there's more & still happy we went up - & no I'm not joining the 'new season ticket-less' system on principal - I still love the club, my club ... rant over
