Are you James Clark's mum? The whole night was a complete non event. A story 150 years in the making and 30 minutes talking about a test match that has no relevance to Hull Fc as a club. Raffle prizes to attend Hull City matches....do you seriously believe that the fans input would have made a difference?

That's why it is irrelevant.

It was completely relevant.

He branded the entire anniversary programme "a joke". He (or you for that matter) could've asked to be involved in planning events, but I guess it's far easier to just moan about it anonymously on a message board.

It's not irrelevant. There was an opportunity to have a say and offer to participate. Seeing that it was fans who organised/facilitated the event then obviously fans' input was important. On the Hull City tickets, I have no idea what your point is. Are you saying the raffle would have been better with fewer prizes? Perhaps it was a signal of improving relations with the SMC, who knows?

Does anyone know anyone who was on the committee and what input they had into things? Must admit the whole 150th anniversary passed me by completely, due mainly to the poor product on the pitch probably but also a lack of inspiring events. And no, I didn't volunteer for the committee as I don't have time

There's a sticky thread on it started by BEN_THE_BLACK&WHITE who was a volunteer. Not much interest in it though judging by lack of posts.

I don't know anyone on the committee. From what I know the Vice Presidents had a big role in the City Hall event, and I think there was a Legends dinner earlier in the year. FC Voices arranged the Boulevard Memorial event and the Streetlife Museum exhibition had a big contribution from fans in terms of memorabilia, photos etc. The other stuff like FC Mastermind, Challenge Cup cinema screening, Poet Laureate event, Celebration evening, charity single etc - not sure.

I just remembered I went to the street life museum exhibition which was OK

Sounds like the City Hall dinner was weighted in favour of the NZ links. Far cheaper to do that and invite their touring squad than to bring lots of fomer players over from the other side of the world. The Vice Presidents paid for James Leuluai to come over but finding sponsors to pay for Kemble, O'Hara, Sterling, Muggleton, Ah Koui, Swain, Fitzgibbon, O'Meley et all would've been nigh on impossible.

Seen as you were on it. You will be able to tell all why the chair resigned and the money was "used elsewhere"

She's the current clubs mouthpiece, on the payroll. She wont have owt bad said about the club. Unlike pre season with her threats of violence and constant slagging of the club

Make your mind up. "Constant slagging" vs "payroll mouthpiece" You're like an early hours drunken Greek tragedy - incoherent and monumentally contradictory.

I find it really sad having to read this kind of thing.
With over a years notice to organise an event and it sounds like a real damp squib & lack of structure for the evening & more importantly relevance to the clubs history.
steak and apple pie must cost a bomb these days to knock up, jeez and for a marquee event!
Is there really no-one at the club capable what with all the contacts/resources to actually make evenings like this spot on rather than leaving people feeling peed off, it smacks of the amateurism that haunts the club from top to bottom

"Seen as you were on it" doesn't make any sense but if you are suggesting that I was on the organising committee then sorry to disappoint you but I wasn't.

I agree that the 150th anniversary was an opportunity missed but we're not alone in staging half-baked events.

The fan fest at the Olympic Stadium yesterday was typical RFL fare. A winswept car park with a few inflatable games and a bus selling overpriced crap beer.

You asked why i wasnt on it or applied. Which suggests you know i was not for sure. As if you'd make a wild guess on here.

So if you were, you'd address the points i raised.. If not, then dont assume. And just wonder about those 2 points i raised.
