i was there last night in the Hull end (im an Albion season ticket holder but some colleagues over from the US wanted to watch a premier lague game)

The Palace banner i saw wasnt in support of Hull (although there may have been) but attacking the Met police for not dealing with the 6 stabbings in 10 days around Croydon. Palace fans were heard chanting "Tigers, Tigers" at the hull fans though that was quite funny.

**** me though, loads of Palace live in brighton and overheard some quite funny conversations slagging off the Albion - ie we only had 6000 fans before 2011, we are thier feeder club etc - just had to laugh really

reagrding hull - i reckon we will beat them based upon last nights showing

There was a Scottish manager up on merseyside in the 60's/70's that would have disagreed with you.

He said some other "romantic" things too...

I couldn't give too hoots about what shankley said. Anyone who makes reference to his life or death quote as relevant to football is, in my view, pathetic. Having said that, I admit football did once mean a lot more to me but the events of 1985 completely changed my view. It's about putting things in perspective and when you grow up you might be able to do that. It is not fundamental as you keep making reference to, it is, if anything, peripheral.

Every successful leaflet/twitter/banner campaign needs a catchy mnemonic slogan to ride under....the obvious example being Ernest's ARS.

I was thinking Change Unnecessary No Tigers....perhaps with some of NSC's finest pictured on the banner. I'd buy the t-shirt.

Love the condescending tone you employ there. You really do try to pull all the levers don't you? Poor Shanks eh? I guess he just hadn't grown up.

Look, we disagree. I see football clubs as still meaning something to communities and still having an important role - maybe more than just independent entities. We're lucky in that we live in a relatively prosperous town, but you'll know that many communities in other parts of the country suffer from economic pressures we don't see. For communities in Hull, Sunderland, Liverpool etc the club means a lot. However, they've seen the club distance themselves from those communities, being priced out of the market as football has become more expensive. Anything a club does to further distance itself from the supporters without good cause can't be good.

I remember standing on the kop as a student and seeing what Liverpool meant to people and the connection they had with the club. I'm not sure that connection is still there now as it's been eroded a little - can't be certain, just an opinion. I don't think that's a good thing.

I'm sure we got the idea from here , the fanatics ( bless em ) did one in support of the tigers to show solidarity so to speak . Maybe you should do one for the hull game unless your not DBR ( display banner ready ) .

I'm li-it-rate mate

Or maybe "Keep Calm It's Not Our Problem" on the front, and a list of clubs facing problems with owners on the back?

If you could change that around to form the word c.l.i.t.u.r.u.s then I'm in.

The one supporting hull was at kick off time the one you saw was a rush job I think after half time . I say rush job cause you could smell the spray paint rather strongly :mad:

You are a nerd of the highest order. You complain of my condescending tone but then do exactly the same. Read the thread again and you will see that the insults started from those that want to support Hull's 'cause' and many of your own posts do the same looking down your noses as a holier than thou uber fans at us mere mortals.

Of for goodness sake Drew. Nobody is looking down anyone's nose at anyone. This is something you've introduced to the thread.

Am I allowed to use the term 'man up' in my day to day conversations with people? I'm really not sure...

If you'd hit a nerve you'd have probably got abuse , what you got was incredulity at your earnest , almost bovine stupidity, you , are a bedwetter and drip, extraordinaire.

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