Watching Brad Hepi and Jim Leatham attack a young lad on Hull's marina for having the audacity of bumping into them and listening to Phil Sigsworths explanation of why some players couldn't play but why Paul Sterling did.

And been to young to think I couldn't correct them.

November 1999, hearing that David Lloyd was prepared to close down Hull FC.

Trouble is I worry that the current low could get lower still!

One of the lowest was when Hull gave Agar a two year extention on =#0040FFApril fools =#0080FFday a few seasons ago, knowing what we had to go through, after the boredom we had suffered.

I would say 2007 was far worse than what we're experiencing now. Back then the only two bids on the table were a couple of local businessmen who really didn't have anywhere near enough money to put us anywhere close to where we are now. There was no doubting that we would have survived but we'd be in Championship 1 right now and not necessarily having it all our own way down there in front of 1500 fans.
Nobody expected a third bid and when it did come in not many knew the sort of investment capability that SOC had.

This years been dump, but there have been good times and I'd rather be here than in the Championship. The only point I'd be completely gutted about this year is if we're three years down the line and nothing has been attempted to solve the performance problems. Until then I'll hope that we make a good decision some point soon regarding the coach.

There are two that stick in my mind.... hearing that we had been rejected in 2008. I genuinely thought that the RFL would use licencing as a vehicle to get more expansion sides into SL and I think (from a personal point of view) we've been fairly fortunate that Toulouse, Barrow and Crusaders couldn't get their acts together.
And genuinely.... hearing Betts was going to be appointed as our SL coach. He obviously wasn't up to the job in the Championship and we were being linked with some decent names. Then to hear he had been given a new 2 year contract and realising that our first year back in SL was going to be a damp squib left me pretty angry for more than a few days.

no bottle that bloke



Mine have been many, but losing to Donny (mid 80's) in the JP was a low point, I was working in London and got the train up for the day, losing a days 'double' pay and the cost of the trip.

Millward leaving, Rowley being put in charge.

Pretty much covers it, although that bloody drop goal against Dewsbury (IIRC) in the playoff finals was pretty dishearteninng too.

The 9 days that was Leeds away 70-0 followed by 75-0 at saints enough said.

Challenge Cup Final in 1989,worst sporting day of my life.

Halifax 2003.

Beat London Broncos away in the first match.
Lost every match thereafter.
And then had those 2 London points taken off us for salary cap infringements.

It was like eating a turd cake, with turd icing and then eating a turd on top.

Right now

A little early to be saying that, isn't it?!

Not 6 months ago when the RFL helped you out? That must have hurt. Come on Starry, you're in the Quarters against the World Champs. Game face on lad. Aaaaaaargh!!!

Last match for me tommorrow, a steady decline is on the way, both in the sport in general, and my club in particular, East's and Miners for me from now on

I've only been going to FC since after the move to the KC, so I wasn't around for the really dark days in the late 90s.

The lowest point since I've been going have to be the Agar days, especially finishing 12th in 2009, only being saved finishing bottom by the 2 promoted clubs with new licences, with no young players coming through either.

Why whats going on at leigh thats that bad?

You Sir, have a brilliant way with words.

Come on Starbug mate. Chin up.

Not much, thats the problem, a decline to Doncaster/Rochdale ( no disrespect intended ) levels is on the cards in the next 3/4 years, and it would seem the clubs administration dont have the will or the foresight to prevent it

27-0.
5 in a row.

Still feel lucky that our lowest moments have come in Finals.

In game terms, losing 2-1 at home to Barrow on a water logged Craven Park pitch. Both teams came off covered in mud and couldn't tell the difference between them. All points scored were from drop goals. Very painful.

But overall, it still has to be Wilby trying to buy us to close us down in the 90's which led to near collapse of Rovers. Plus the ever present shadow of Merger. The Allams hinted at it again recently, although thankfully Hudgell and Pearson seem to realise the strength of the rivalry.

From what I have witnessed in my limited years of watching rugby, for me 05/06 seasons were grim to watch. Luckily everything is looking up now.

Wilkes isn't and wasn't garbage - it was your club that was garbage at the time, grow up. If signing a good journeyman like Wilkes and a freak blow out score is your worst moment my heart bleeds, really

Simple....Cas being relegated in 2006, when the whole of RL knew that Wigan had knowingly breached the salary cap as they scrambled to survive.

It was like watching on cctv whilst a burglar stole your stuff and someone telling you that the cctv video was inadmissible towards justice being served.

Before my time but when Northern went out of business in 1963 was the club's lowest point.

In the past 30 years I'd say our lowest points were flirting with relegation in 86, 89 and 92. The 71-10 thrashing in the 1992 cup semi to Wigan showed how far behind we'd slipped. That said I don't recall being particularly upset that day as we all knew we had no chance beforehand.
