| I shall bow out of this tedious nonsense now.
I wish Hull FC well, I wish Hull KR well, I wish the Stingrays well, I'm from Hull, why wouldn't I? Anyone who wishes ill on another sporting club in this great city of ours is either very dim, or is simply very bitter.
I'd rather have seen an event in Hull tonight, but I understand Assem's reasons for not wanting those clowns Brady or Geraghty to try and take any credit and as it turned out, it was a decent night.
I wish your lads well for the rest of the season and if you ever want to pop on our boards at any point, then you're more than welcome, nobody will threaten to ban you, we tend to be reasonably grown up.
With love,
OLM

Those are, on the who,e, reasonable comments. However, to suggest the City forum (the one linked earlier I this thread, of which you appear to be a forum member) is reasonably grown up is a contradiction in terms judging by some of the ill informed and insulting posts on there.
I have no idea what Brady and the councils view point will have been, but I cannot see how they could claim any sort of credit for City's success. Allam not having the civic reception has denied some local businesses from an unexpected pay day. Yet isn't this the very thing he claims to want to instigate?

especially when, after 6 games in, they're at the foot of the table and Bruce walks into the sunset, like he has so many times.

You've earned our undying gratitude. The tedium quotient just dropped like a stone also.

Or not from Hull.

Everyone understands his reasons. The less sheeplike also recognise how self-serving and petty those reasons are.

All football games have segregation. Cardiff had an allocation of 2200. Also a few single seats dotted around the place I would imagine.

Segregation for soccer games at the KC takes out 300 seats.

There was about a block on each side of them so I would guess a bit more than 300. Either way it was described as a sell out, I'm sure if they could have sold more tickets they would have

In City's first season on the top flight (08/09) they had a couple of genuine sell outs. One was against Arsenal when there was just over 25000 there. Segregation would take a max of 400 seats in that situation.

As is Rugby Union, Rugby League, American Football, Aussie Rules etc.
Soccer makes for less confusion.
But I'll tell you what, you drop the word League from Premier, Championship, Champions, One, Two, Blue Square etc. and we'll stop calling it soccer

Nonsense. Soccer is the original and correct English term.
Many sports using the word football pre-dated soccer, particularly 'rugby football' in England. When the rules for Association Football were drawn up in the 1860s (by Hull's very own [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebenezer_Cobb_MorleyEbenezer Cobb Morley[/url (not sure where Princess Street was?)as alluded to by Mild Rover the other week) the game was called soccer to differentiate it from other forms of football.
Soccer is the original grand name for the game, while it only became known as football once the masses cottoned on. [url=http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/06/the-origin-of-the-word-soccer/There's a rather interesting history here[/url.
Plus, I insist on calling it soccer because it pees the soccer fans off.

| Well the story I'd read from years back was that the term 'Soca' comes directly from the word 'Association', it was used by foreigners who could not pronounce 'football' correctly
Soccer was used in England until the 60s very frequently, it's even referred to as soccer in children's ladybird books at the time even though the front is the ladybird book of football.
I too insist on calling it socca just to get up the wendyball fans' noses

I left England in 1966 and it was soccer, then to South Africa where it was still soccer and then to Aus where to a vast majority it remains as soccer today. Attempts to rename the game football have not succeeded and no attempt has been made to change the name of the Aus National team from being called the "Socceroos". The name "Footballroos" just does not appear to have the same appeal to the Aus general public.
I also call the game soccer to avoid confusion with other football sports here.
