The club and its chairman/owner have gone on record.
Am I not allowed to question their claims?
Should I sit by and watch the club make the same mistakes again?
Should we not consider the past record of those who make decisions?
You can sit there and swallow all the bull you like, but Hughes has form here. Why should I, a customer and supporter be prevented from questioning the Chairman's ability to get things done properly?
2015 season....5 weeks away and to date we have had no shirts to buy, no ticketing information, no fans forum ....nothing......other than twitter and facebook feeds with a few emails thrown in. Nothing has changed.....other than the division we play in. We've had a pre-season....but we had one of those every other year until last years "wobble".....we have a team of journeymen (1 retired player who was mining in Western Aussie......good mate of the coach though) a coach who is unproven (but at least is a straight talker) and we are even more reliant on 1 man for our finance than we have ever been before.
I get it.....the few hard core that are left are looking forward to 2nd tier RL and are in a positive mood, but the reality is the MAJORITY of our fans are gone....and gone for good.
Stick me on ignore or stop whining.....I really thought more of you.

The trouble is, who are you questioning ? No one on here has the answers so if the above are your stated aims, then you are wasting your time on here. You need to contact the club or better still David Hughes himself.

I am quite positive about the season as it happens but primarily because we will hopefully see some competitive games which have been sadly lacking in recent seasons.

| gotnofax likes the sparring we all know he is Gus's love child really. Its called having a bit of fun sometimes, and quite nice that we have not had to resort to emergency swearing think it was suggested it was banter a while back.
The daft thing is we all know its been poop, and its rubbish that we are where we are, but you have to get on with it don't you and look to the future.
I actually think this season will be quite fun until we get to the stressfull end of the season, I still think their will be a surprise or two at the end of the season, but that's my opinion, other folk think different, I just hope I am the one proven right in Sept.

Billy calls people moonies. I on the other hand below each to their own and regardless of your preference, the mind numbing stats put me in the majority. As usual, because it doesn't sit with your agenda, you deride me......and you wonder why the greater public have a stereotypical view of shoulder chipped flat cap wearing, whippet racing northern rl fans.

I have always supported most of the points you make in your posts. I also find your stats a telling and sad indictment of how the club has been run. No-one on this site would argue about your views about Gus. As to David Hughes, whilst many would agree he has made some appalling decisions your attacks are way over the top. Even if the club was achieving 4-5k attendances a week, they would need financial support and you cannot criticise David's support of the club.
HOWEVER, I am getting fed up of every thread turning into the same rant? And I use the word carefully - every thread is exactly the same. I think you and Micky etc should take your personal insults off line, it's boring. Also as someone born in Hull, and a season ticket holder at FC for 20 years I resent being called a flat cap, flat earth, whippet loving...... I dislike the North for its weather and some of the people are narrow minded, but I suspect no more than in the south! Many are broad minded and want London to succeed.
I am looking forward to next season, because we should/ will win a few games. After the last 3 years that's a bonus. If that makes me a stooopid moron, then I accept the charge. I realise we are playing at a lower level, realise that the wins will not be as valuable as beatin SL teams - but hey ho my expectations have lowered.
So why not give the Gus, David H, we're doomed, the past 3/5 years, a rest - it's boring

| I took a 3 month voluntary break from this forum Las year and other than one initial thread about everyone's favourite game (an off season topic mid season) there was more action on the skolars forum on here.
I accept I am repetitive, but as I have already asked, is it wrong to question the clubs stated aim when that is the thread topic
Hughes is in charge still and very little has changed.......thats all I am saying.
As for flat caps......it wasn't directed at you, but if it fits.

| Brian, i accept the point gutters likes reacting to my posts and I do like baiting him a little bit. I do try my best to stay away from insulting anyone, being a born and bred northerner myself am pretty impressed with your dedication to the FC cause I FWIW am a York fan through and through so used to supporting lower league teams. In my view the wins will be just as valuable as its the only way we will get back into SL. I actually think the hard thing is staying back up there when and if we get there.

| "If the cap fits" - that's what I mean gutter fax. Did I say anything personal about you? So why be snide, sarcastic or Mr nasty?
I left the North in 1985, I go back because my parents are still alive and live there. If they were not I would never go north of Watford. I was a Hull season ticket holder 1963 -1986' have supported London from 1999.
I enjoy rugby, wam interested in other people's views, but frankly have now no time for you.

Sorry...the cap fitting comment was meant as humour. It would seem you're a tad touchy about your northern roots, so I'll steer clear from now on, but no offence was meant.
As for the thread and it's title, the fact that the club has declared a return to the SL is what it wants and expects leaves it open to question. It's not repetitive to ask "what has changed to make this stated aim a real possibility"?
What has changed?
A few Tweets and a couple of FB posts and some people here are acting like we're Barcelona FC David Hughes has said he'll back us for a few years.....I could have sworn he said he'd back us for 3 years in 2011 yet "wobbled" after 2 years.....do we trust him now more than we did in 2011? Yes.....it's in the past, but if a dog bites you once he should never be give the opportunity to do it again!
Our Coach has very little in the way of a track record that is quantifiable. He has assisted at 3 NRL clubs but never looked like stepping up and has coached Malta, who I have no doubt the defunct Hammersmith Hills Hoists would beat with ease. He has a 16 game record with 1 win against a 2nd tier Leeds pre challenge Cup final...his side shipped 47 points per game, so no better than Rea had performed in the first 11 games...although we scored 1 more try per game under Grima.
The squad he has assembled, no matter what way you spin it, is made up of journeymen and a scattering of young talent. They have been together for 8 weeks and include a player coming out of retirement after 2 years.
Until a competitive PTB takes place, all we have is and wind, with smoke and mirrors.........I want us to be as competitive as possible and will be delighted if we make the middle 8.....but the reality is, until they KO the season, little of any substance has changed at the club.
By all means be excited. By all means look forward to seeing us win some games, but never lose sight of the fact we are winning against Doncaster, a part time outfit of Plumbers, brickies and bakers. Hardly friggin Wigan, is it and it's Wigan that the fans will come to see....and without the fans....well, ask St David of Swinton how that's worked out for him so far!
