Finally! An Away Win!! Arguably City have played a lot better and lost during those 25 games than what they did at Barnsley, however you won’t have found anyone arguing with the final result in the away end on Saturday. We now have a home double-header, firstly live on Sky on Saturday evening we take on Nottingham Forest before Middlesbrough visit the KCOM on Halloween (or Tuesday if you prefer!). Six points could really catapult City towards the play-offs so here’s hoping we can build some momentum going into winter. Here’s your update on what has been another busy week for the Trust…
Les Mutrie
As we told you last week, the Trust along with others has contributed towards the cost of a flag celebrating Les Mutrie who sadly passed away recently.

The Hull City Action For Change group are calling for all supporters, including those who have been boycotting, to attend this weekend’s home game against Forest to show their support for the team, remember the late Les Mutrie and voice their displeasure at the club’s owners . We support this call, but also note that for some stay-away supporters, attending games under the current ownership is unpalatable. This is of course down to individual choice. However if you are prepared to break your boycott at any time, this game is probably the time to do it.
HCAFC Meeting
The Hull City Action For Change group is having another pre match meeting at the William Gemmell club on Anlaby Road from 2:30pm this Saturday.

Geoff reiterated the Trust’s stance that we would not continue to be involved if the club persisted in using the name ‘Tigers Hall of Fame’.
We are awaiting feedback from the club on this point before taking further action.

On a wider scale fans have been feeding back to the Football Supporters Federation on how dialogue is going with their clubs and it’s fair to say there are a lot that are not too impressed. Have a look at the results on the FSF website here.

Development Review
It was a disappointing week for the club’s development sides. The under 18s went down 2-0 to Sheffield United last Saturday, whilst the under 23 side were defeated the same score-line by Exeter City in the Premier League Cup at home on Monday.
It was a disappointing week for the club’s development sides. The under 18s went down 2-0 to Sheffield United last Saturday, whilst the under 23 side were defeated the same score-line by Exeter City in the Premier League Cup at home on Monday.
Hopefully they will both bounce back on Saturday when the under 18s travel to Bolton Wanderers and the under 23s take on Birmingham City at the KCOM. The under 23s game will immediately follow the first team’s game against Nottingham Forest with kick off planned at 19:30. We appreciate that many people make plans for Saturday evenings, hopefully we will be celebrating a victory against Forest, but if you are not in a rush perhaps you could consider staying on for a while to lend the development side your support.
