Same old spoiling for a fight bored now as Higgs has gone so let's see what's new we can split the fan base over next Can't comment on the individual posters, but one thing I have noticed since the takeover is the the IF has gone native and very quiet, also pretty positive about the stadium amongst other things. This forum has become a little more sceptical, not necessarily a bad thing if not taken too far. Agreed but is it possibly because those IF posters are now posting more on here now

Oh go on then..... Bastille, Martin Luther King, Boston Tea Party, South African Independence, Berlin Wall ...... Hull Tigers Cardiff shirts Hull is actually a good example of the FA (probably) listening to the Fans.
There is no logical reason and indeed no reason given as to why The FA rejected the name change

Genuine Question: To those that believe it will never happen or that they can't change anything. Why? In fairness I'd ask what evidence is there that us boycotting will make a difference. When was the last time the powers that be in any walk of life gave a sh** about what people want? They will do what they like either way. When was the last time taking a stand for what we believe in ever actually worked? The Poll Tax

We need the full weight of Steve Hamer & Wael behind this one.

I thought they got rid of it after the protests Phil,i know a fair few that never paid it. Spot on about needing the clubs owners on board as they will have the final say,hopefully the fuss created will give them food for thought.

I have a (spent) criminal conviction for non payment of poll tax, this was accidental rather than deliberate and when the bailiff contacted me I was somewhat flummoxed as I was in Germany and was unaware of the conviction. Top skills by the council

Yeah, opposition to the Poll Tax was one of the main reasons the Tories got rid of Thatcher. And replacing it was one of Major's priorities, coz they knew it was a massive vote-loser.

How many very large protests never worked ? It's easy to name a few successes , what about the countryside march in London 400,000 people and they got zip, mainly because more people live in urban areas than country area, so the powers that be ignore it. Pretty much like the FA will ignore a few thousand angry football fans.

Both scenarios are a good thing. Really ? Group of moaners ruins forum so moves to another forum, that is a good scenario ?

Pretty much like the FA will ignore a few thousand angry football fans. But it's not the FA dealing with reorganisation of the Football League Trophy and the Football League there is a very big clue in the name (though bizarrely some marketing guru thinks the EFL is better than The Football League). And I believe the Football League is owned by its 72 members (on relegation we had to hand over our share to Cambridge Utd not sure whose share we got on our return) so its the individual clubs/chairman we have to convince not the FA hence why I'm boycotting all trophy games this season. The lower down you go the more the effect of bums on seats (or no bums on seat in this case) is felt. I'd implore everyone not to sleepwalk into disaster, disaster is u23 teams, Scottish clubs or spreading the current jam too thinly. Thankfully I remember at least one club chairman when the idea was originally mooted saying it would cost his club a million pound in lost revenue and he wouldn't vote for it as he couldn't see where that lost revenue would come from. Certainly it wouldn't come from a drop in costs.

The IF is quieter for sure, but I think in general that is because it is a more contented place Pretty happy with the new owners and what they have done so far ,a far cry from the previous regime (that probably did get some undue stick at times)
Generally content at the goings on, on the field. Realistic enough not to demand WAQ spend a load of money, or complain DC has got it wrong etc, etc

Funny because they hated us going on their land after Hares,but as soon as the ban came in they suddenly liked us and wanted us to join them at their course meets. They were out voted in a fair democractic vote and didn't like it,bloody towners telling them what to do Appoligies if i got the wrong protest. .

Does EFL stand for English Football League or Exploiting Fans' Loyalty?
Who remembers the Bristol Party? Set up after another failed stadium bid IIRC.

That would be Teflon Tony forcing it through parliament ? How would so called towners like it if a protest said you should all be in bed by 10 because people from the villages think it,s right ? No more night clubs , no keeping pets in high rise flats ? So called Towners would tell the country folk to F off and because you have the numbers you would win. The strange thing is, we love all the 'odd' things people from other Countries do, but hate our own traditions, I hear the black face dancers have been stopped, did anyone know why they had black faces ? did any protester ask ? No they ban it because 'black' is used. Now I will be told this is not Rovers related.

Everyone should be in bed by half 10 though, can't argue with that.
