Someone will no doubt put me right on the wording if I am incorrect but recently in his programme notes he said he would still be in charge at the Hull game. (or words to that effect)
Now I got to thinking......Why choose THAT game?
Why not say he would be here for the foreseeable future? Why not say "I will still be here at Christmas"?
The programme notes, I 'think', were 30 days before the game.....maybe that is a subliminal 'hiccup' by him, saying he was staying for 30 days for a reason we don't know legally?
I know I am probably over thinking this whole thing but I don't think Bates says things like that without a reason.
He constantly lambasts ex-players, the council, the government, the ruling body, agents, fans and anyone else and they seem like the ramblings of someone who is used to having people say "yes Ken, spot on" or at least the mental anguish of someone who thinks his way is the only way...
So, thinking of it in terms of Ken says what he feels and thinks (right or wrong), why Hull>?
Someone may make a connection I can't quite grasp at the moment but it just seemed "out of character" to me to name a game and date that held no significance to anyone in particular.....
Too many conspiracy theories, which only come about because of lack of information given out.
I know he likes to rant and say what he wants but I can't for the life of me think why he would pick Hull.
Anyone got any "sensible" ideas why he would pick Hull?
Ken Bates words - over-analysed or ......

I'm not being critical of you personally, but the desperate straw clutching of our fanbase, sums up the situation at the moment. I have stopped even thInking about a takeover. I console myself with the fact that the numbers don't add up to a profit anymore and sooner rather than later, Bates will cut and run because he will not allow the club to cost him money.

Im tempted to agree with the OP. Why that game in particular?

Bates is buoyed by the tens of thousands of letters of support.
He doesn't know we support other clubs...

And if he realized you follow Barnsley he's forward your letter of support onto Disney tfor them to file with the rest of the letters for Mickey Mouse fanclubs
