If the next phase of the campaign was to get those 10k to vote non-Lib Dem, you might see a response from Minns.

Don't forget it was just a couple of Rovers fans raising the petition, not an organization. I think Julie and Mike deserve credit for taking the initiative, and getting the local MP onside was a coup.

While I admired their efforts, I was sceptical about about how much could be achieved. 10,000 signatures and good media coverage has proved me wrong - remember this was an independent fans group with, I assume, a budget that didn't extend much beyond paper and pens. Door knocking on east Hull's 50,000 (at a guess) households would be a massive undertaking.

Tell that to the bloody fellas that put 5 takeaway menus through my letterbox everyday!!!

Thing is, they don't have to wait for you to come to the door - and they get paid!

With a green card?

Best not derail this anymore!

Well gee...thanks for the positive words ...there were 2 of us one pensioner and myself!!! We did what we could and we were constantly asking for help and barring a couple of very helpful people, we did it on our own!!

But thanks to everyone else with your kind words and support, I only hope we achieve what we set out to do,at least we can say we tried if nothing comes of it.

hey we had round ended scissors and glue too

Cheers Bobbin'....

if id have known you was handing it personally to Minns i would have signed it

We deleted all the Mickey Mouse's/ Ben Dover etc etc, as for people getting involved...did you offer??

We continually kept asking for help...but no-one came forward....and until you even attempt to do something like this, I don't think you appreciate how hard it is....we are grateful for your signature and your support, but find it very dis-heartening that you criticise our efforts....

Why have the club distanced themselves from this petition?

I'd have thought they would be keen to be involved

The club haven't so much distanced themselves as they are very much behind us....but, whilst they are, and have been for a long time in negotiations with the HCC, they could not be seen to be backing our campaign, they cant ask the council for 1 thing one minute then start saying they wanted something else as well, we have known from day one that we were on our own with this and had no problem with that....we did the petition from a supporters point of view not solely from the club's.
