Weekly News Update

It was a history making game last weekend as City drew 5-5 away at Bristol City. It was a game that perhaps split opinions with some enjoying the fact there were 10 goals in a game whilst other bemoaned the inability to win despite scoring 5 and some dodgy defending! We can see the merits in both opinions but games like that don’t happen very often so we’ll enjoy being part of it despite the frustration of conceding in the 94th minute!
The point also meant City are safe and will be playing championship football next season. This would normally be a positive if it wasn’t for the worry of another summer of underinvestment in the transfer market, contracts running out and divisive ticket policies!
City this weekend welcome promotion chasing Cardiff City, a club that has gone through its own problems in recent season, and we wish then well after Saturday if they do go on to gain promotion.
Here’s your trust update this week…
Hull City Shirt Auction in aid of Trawler Memorial Groups
HCST are pleased to announce that some of the shirts worn at the Chelsea game commemorating the Triple Trawler disaster are to be  sold.
The shirts have kindly been donated by the Club to the Triple Trawler Memorial Group who asked the Trust to advise them. We in turn have asked Les Motherby of @HullCityKits to organise the auction.
The funds raised will be split between the four Trawler Memorial Groups
More details can be found here on the Hull City Kits website.
This is an excellent example of the Trust working with the Club and other Fans organisations to benefit the local community and hopefully will lead to many more joint ventures.
Jacqui Forster RIP
It is with great sadness that the Trust learned this week that Jacqui Forster of Supporters Direct had passed away after a long battle with cancer. 
Jaqui helped in the formation of almost 200 Supporters Trust and was particularly helpful to us over the proposed name change campaign and with the formation of HCST.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time.
EFL – FSF Survey  ‘Stand up for Choice’
Linked to the recent Parliamentary Petition on Safe Standing passing 100,000 signatures, the EFL & FSF are conducting a survey of fans view on having standing areas at venues. 
The survey only takes a couple of minutes to do and can be filled in here.
Hull City Ladies
The damage of a shock 2-1 defeat for Hull City Ladies at Crewe Alexandra last Sunday was minimised by main title rivals Brighouse Town going down at home to Morecambe by the same scoreline.
So the Tigresses will be looking to bounce back when they host Brighouse this Sunday at the Hull University playing ground on Inglemire Lane at 2pm in a game which will have a massive impact on who wins the league.
With 4 games to go, 8 points could be enough from these games due to our Ladies superior goal difference but a win this weekend will mean 2 points from the following 3 games is all that will be required to secure the title.
So if you’ve not ventured down to see the Tigresses this season, what better opportunity than effectively a title decider. Good luck Ladies

Weekly News Update

After back to back wins against QPR and Burton Albion, City showed why they are where they are in the league with a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday. The Tigers didn’t perhaps get the rub of the green and could have quite easily earned a point against their Yorkshire rivals but it wasn’t to be..
This Saturday City head to Bristol City. The Robins need a win to keep their slim play off hopes alive whilst a win for City will guarantee survival baring a significant swing in goal difference. We wish a safe journey to all those travelling.
Here’s your Trust update…
Hull City Ticket Model
You are all no doubt aware that the Club has recently decided to ignore the votes submitted in the original ballot relating to a proposed ticketing model for next season and instead issued a 2nd ballot without any consultation with the Supporters Committee.
Needless to say as a Board we have continued to pursue this matter with both the Club and also the Football Supporters Federation and Supporters Direct, both of whom the Trust are proud members.

Weekly News Update

Here’s your Trust update…
Cocessionary Pricing Vote V2 – Update
HCST are very disappointed that despite writing to club officials last month seeking the result of the first ballot and asking questions over why there was no consultation over a second ballot, we’ve had no response.
We’ve shared full details with our affiliate organisations Supporters Direct and The Football Supporters Federation who have both contacted the club on our behalf.
We are now awaiting feedback from SD and FSF who we understand have also updated The EFL.
We will update members as soon as possible but again call on the club for dialogue and ask fans to ignore the second ballot.

Development Review
It was ‘goals galore’ on Monday afternoon when the under 23 side travelled to take on Ipswich Town. 
They came away with a 3-4 victory thanks to goals from Callum Smith (2), Robbie McKenzie and Liam Edwards.  They are next in action on Saturday, after the first team play Sheffield Wednesday at the KCOM, when they take on Millwall in a 17:00 scheduled kick-off. We hope that many of you will stay behind to lend them your support.  Then next Thursday they travel down to take on Crystal Palace in a 14:00 kick-off.
It has been a slightly disappointing week for the under 18 side.  Last Saturday they were defeated 2-1 at Charlton Athletic, Max Sheaf scoring for the young Tigers.  Then on Tuesday a young side travelled to Burnley and were comprehensively beaten 4-1, with Keane Lewis-Potter on the score sheet.  They have two quick opportunities to get back to winning ways.  On Saturday they entertain Colchester United in an 11:00 kick-off at Bishop Burton, then on Tuesday they travel down to Millwall’s training ground for an 11:00 kick-off.
Hull City Ladies
The Tigresses went back to winning ways last Sunday with a hard fought 1-0 victory away at Bolton Wanderers.
This week the girls are away again at 7th place Chester le Street.
Sitting proudly at the top of the league, with 6 games to go the Tigresses are 10 points clear of their main rivals, (Brighouse Town), who do have 3 games in hand.
The forthcoming clash between the sides at  the Hull University playing ground on April 29th is increasingly looking like it will be the title decider.

Weekly News Update

Two games against teams looking to be playing Premier League football next season and you have to say, two very welcome points. City could have perhaps won either game, but they could have also lost either so overall a share of the spoils in both games was a fair result and keeps the gap to the bottom three at a reassuring seven points.
City aren’t safe yet, there’s still games to be won and perhaps Saturday offers a perfect opportunity for that. QPR visit the KCOM, a ground they don’t particularly enjoy visiting and a win here would see City really pile the pressure on those currently in the bottom three.
City then head to Burton Albion (ground tick alert!) on Tuesday where a victory could well consign the hosts to league one football next season. We’re sure four points from these next two games would see City as good as safe but then we never do it easily do we?
Here’s your update from the Trust….
Cocessionary Pricing Vote V2.
HCST have responded to the club’s decision to hold a second ballot on Concessionary Pricing.
You can read the response here.
HCST is discussing with our affiliates Supporters Direct and The Football Supporters Federation the most appropriate action to take following the club failing to reply to our e mail this week.
The Clubs issues have come to the attention of the national media this week with a Daily Mail article (here) about the lack of rebranding, and Tom Barclay of the Sun tweeting his article (here) about the lack of Concessions.
Dean Windass – 10 years on
RM Sports Events are presenting An Evening with Hull City legend Dean Windass; 10 years to the day since that amazing strike which sent The Tigers to the Premier League.

Development Review
Last Monday the under 18 side travelled down to Nottingham Forest’ Football Academy and were comprehensively beaten 6-0.  They are next in action tomorrow when they travel down to Charlton Athletic’s training ground for an 11:00 kick off.  Then on Tuesday they are away again at The Barnfield Training Centre for a 14:00 kick off against Burnley.
Last Tuesday the under 23 side took on Beverley Town in the East Riding FA Senior Cup semi final on the all-weather pitch at Hull University due to the continuing inclement weather.  They ran out 4-0 winners with goals from Greg Olley (2), Billy Chadwick and Robbie McKenzie.  On Monday they travel down to the Ipswich Town training centre for a fixture that kicks off at 13:00.
Development players are still doing well whilst out on loan.  Brandon Fleming’s spell at Gainsborough Trinity has been extended to the end of the season and Will Annan picked up the March Goal of the Month award at Tadcaster Albion.
Hull City Ladies
After a disappointing draw at bottom of the table Mossley Hill last Sunday, the Tigresses are on the road again this week away at mid-table Bolton Wanderers.
Our Ladies won a tight match 2-0 in the home fixture between the teams and will be aiming to improve on recent performances to cement their place at the top of the table.
