How is it irrelevant? IIRC the group asked for volunteers for ideas and support at the outset. It's reasonable to question whether those dissatisfied with the output responded.
Are you James Clark's mum? The whole night was a complete non event. A story 150 years in the making and 30 minutes talking about a test match that has no relevance to Hull Fc as a club. Raffle prizes to attend Hull City matches....do you seriously believe that the fans input would have made a difference?

It was completely relevant.
He branded the entire anniversary programme "a joke". He (or you for that matter) could've asked to be involved in planning events, but I guess it's far easier to just moan about it anonymously on a message board.

That's why it is irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant. There was an opportunity to have a say and offer to participate. Seeing that it was fans who organised/facilitated the event then obviously fans' input was important. On the Hull City tickets, I have no idea what your point is. Are you saying the raffle would have been better with fewer prizes? Perhaps it was a signal of improving relations with the SMC, who knows?
Does anyone know anyone who was on the committee and what input they had into things? Must admit the whole 150th anniversary passed me by completely, due mainly to the poor product on the pitch probably but also a lack of inspiring events. And no, I didn't volunteer for the committee as I don't have time

There's a sticky thread on it started by BEN_THE_BLACK&WHITE who was a volunteer. Not much interest in it though judging by lack of posts.

I don't know anyone on the committee. From what I know the Vice Presidents had a big role in the City Hall event, and I think there was a Legends dinner earlier in the year. FC Voices arranged the Boulevard Memorial event and the Streetlife Museum exhibition had a big contribution from fans in terms of memorabilia, photos etc. The other stuff like FC Mastermind, Challenge Cup cinema screening, Poet Laureate event, Celebration evening, charity single etc - not sure.
Sounds like the City Hall dinner was weighted in favour of the NZ links. Far cheaper to do that and invite their touring squad than to bring lots of fomer players over from the other side of the world. The Vice Presidents paid for James Leuluai to come over but finding sponsors to pay for Kemble, O'Hara, Sterling, Muggleton, Ah Koui, Swain, Fitzgibbon, O'Meley et all would've been nigh on impossible.
