Banner in support of No to Hull Tigers campaign ???

[Hamilton]

Can I open another pack of Pringles chaps?

No, you're alright. I've had enough too.

 

[drew]

Talking to yourself again?

Well of course I would have been had you resisted replying!

Can I open another pack of Pringles chaps?

Depends on the flavour. Anything but smokey bacon!

Can't quite see the hypocrisy in what you've written there can you?

Correct, enlighten me.

90% of this topic would be delighted to know that the SWC are doing "something" to protest on behalf of Hull during tonights game.

I was watching on TV from afar. What did they do?

 

[Giraffe]

Small orange banner appeared in the North Stand before the game, and then again in the 19th minute.

In the South West corner a bigger, more Hull official looking banner appeared at the same time.

That was it in a nutshell. Went to take a pic of both but I wasn't quick enough.

Was a bit crap wasn't it...

'City til July, City til July' etc

 

[Barrel of Fun]

They had a chance to back it or sack it... and they backed it.

Wow, with 6500 out of 15,000 bothering to even respond, is it apathy or mountain out a molehill then

Quite.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

IF that vote wasn't as bent as an African election, then that's pathetic. 2/3 of STHs not voting is apathy on a grand scale.

Those who do nothing deserve all they get.

I don't believe those results for a second.

No independent verification, not an anonymous ballot, loaded questions - all total rubbish. But then I'd have thought that whatever the result. A referendum of little merit.

 

[Working class pride]

Even if so, it still seems 9000 against but only 1 for

What were these loaded questions?

The SayNotoTigers campaign collected 13,824 signatures - just scanning the signatures, there seem to be a large proportion of fans from other clubs signing it.

Were these campaigners a noisy minority?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

The FA have still been recommended to block it, so probably will regardless of the ballot.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It was a poll Putin would have been proud of.

Loaded options ( name change and the Allams not selling up as a joint option ).

Voters' ST number / name on each ballot paper, leaving open the possibility of future 'consequences' of your vote.

 

[The Large One]

The question was loaded to imply that voting No would result in mean the Allam family walking away - as they had threatened to do.

Please choose one of the following...

• Yes to Hull Tigers with the Allam family continuing to lead the club.

• No to Hull Tigers.

• I am not too concerned and will continue to support the club either way.

It just required a simple Yes or No. This circumstance reminds me why I am so relieved that we have a lifelong Albion fan running are club. And also that the famous 'not for profit' clause was re-inserted all those years ago.

The FA Council have rejected Hull's application with a 63.5% vote against it.
