Hull City: Windass, Ashbee, Whittle, Skipper and Saville in charity clash

“Great cause, bit miffed that this was advertised wrongly with Ash and Deano not even knowing. Shame, I will not be supporting anything else like this as I feel taken advantage of. £2 to get in, the principle is the lies that accompanied the story. Rant over.”

“I went to the game, personally enjoyed seeing some childhood heroes, but for many young fans there it was a massive disappointment that Windass and Ashbee never turned up. Windass was asked about the game on saturday on twitter and seemed to know nothing about it!!!!! First 3 players i saw were Neil Mann Mann Mann, Justin Whittle and The Sav. Great entertainment. As for the "Legends" title????? Paul Mudd, played one game in 1988 for Hull! Steve Wilson still throwing himself to the ball like a young un, great to see.”

“I misread this and went on Saturday but found there was no game!! Glad I didn't go now if the likes of Ash and Deano weren't playing, they were the only two my son had heard of so he would have been disappointed!”

“i went to the match there there was no dean windass or ashbee”

“Hoping to get to the game.

All the best Matt and heres to everything being fine for you in the ears ahead”

“date of game not given”

“great event and cause do you have a website where we ex pats can contribute ?”

“If I was local, I'd definitely go to this! Hope Ash's knees don't suffer too much.”

“This should have gone on the other thread. A bit early in the morning is my excuse.”

“After the turmoil of the last week or two I am lifted by these comments. Like many people, I would have liked to find out what NB is capable of. There are also elements regarding the way things were done regarding NB which could have been handled better. We should not forget however that the Allams see things from their perspective, which is probably nearer the truth of the matter than what the supporters get to see. The news that there are so many people after the job is encouraging up to a point. There are many people after every job these days, but the fact that the Allams are prepared to look further afield opens up some exciting possibilities. Someone like Slaven Bilic who desperately wants to manage in the UK, but is not likely to get a chance with a Premiership club any time soon could be an option, if City are prepared to pay the wages. The situation with managers is just the same as it is with footballers and it may well be that there are some decent affordable options available to a club like Hull City. Legacy appears to a motivating force behind the Allams. If they want to move ahead with their other plans for the land nearby, then I think it is in their best interest to get people on their side, and one way to do that is to build a squad who are a force to be reckoned with. There is a case for saying that the Allams work on a global scale already, and perhaps some of us are guilty of only seeing success in very narrow terms. It could just be that the Allams have more ambition for the club than some of us can contemplate. Those who oppose the Allams on the ground that they wanted some land for next to nothing should maybe consider, that if they were in the same boat they would probably be trying to also get the land for next to nothing in order to maximise profit. Having said all of that, nothing guarantees success in football. You can put as much money as you want into a club and still not achieve anything. The Allams appear to be running the club on sound principles. I hope the loan versus gift argument is in the past soon and that the Allams get the money back that they intended to do, because that makes it more likely that even if the club has to be sold at some point, a new owner will not have to be paying out to other people. You cannot be too optimistic as a Hull City supporter, but perhaps this news means we can move up a couple of points on the optimism scale, and that is quite a nice feeling for a change.”
