Out of interest where do you expect to finish this year? Top 4? in the play offs? or outside the top 8?'" Play offs is a must, can't hope for much more cos we still have mainly Agar's players but hopefully having Gentle here will allow more of them to fulfill their potential and we can maybe aim a little higher. Next season will be more interesting when Gentle has more of a chance to bring his own choices in.

| Quote ="unknownlegend"Most of us expect to finish in the play-offs (probably 7th/6th) this season, with a decent cup run realistically. This match on Sunday will not be boring, both sets of players will give it a good go! Ours will be trying to avenge Fridays defeat and yours will be fired up by our ex coach, I'm expecting a good tight, exciting game. I know it's a couple of quid extra but hope the minority on here has'nt put any of you off from coming. Don't miss this one fellas, get yourselves here!
'"
Sanity at last!!!
So most of you are expecting to finish, where Agar got you and he was the anti christ, that makes sense..................not!
Re: Sunday's game, i think we might cop a hiding TBH, but you never know, i hope to god Hull dont play like they did against London, that alone is enough to put me off coming never mind the price.
We'll bring a few (and they'll make some noise), but not as many as the price is a bit steep, but that's Hull's choice i suppose.

Thats not much of a forecast is it?? but you'll be happy with the Aussie number two getting you as high as the spawn of satan and SLs worst coach, got you last season.
You really need to give your head a shake!!!!

Garbage!
Surely if Agar was as bad as you lot have made him out to be, the Aussie number two must be able to improve on his terrible efforts!!!
Your blame Agar for everything just because you are frustrated supporters of a once big club putting up with mediocrity, is starting to crumble.

Its really difficult to try and explain how most of us feel about Richard Agar, don't think many of us wish him ill. I'll ask you this and you tell me how you would feel:-
If your club is averaging 12,000 crowds for the last 4 years and you never won a play-off game and only scraped into the play-offs twice, never beat a super league team in the cup and lost to Leeds 11 matches out of 11 and on top of this getting beaten on a regular basis by your arch enemies, how long would it be before you started moaning?
We gave Richard a fair crack of the whip (4 years), and like I said in an earlier post I think he will do a lot better for you, but for us it was'nt meant to be, so lets move on (please!) Hope to see you all on Sunday and good luck for the season.

And not be ripped of at the turnstyles, sounds more that ok to me.
Whatever happens, happens but i can safely say we'll never be merged/hybrid club, how about you.

We've had far worse to contend with than that and as a result have moaned probably a damned sight more, that's natural of course.
I think the bottom line with many FC fans is that they still think that they support a team that should be at the top, and that sadly is not reality.
To be a top four side, which IMO is what constitutes a big club, you have to recruit better, turn over more income (or have a big benefactor) and have more luck than one or more of the current top four, and that is a big undertaking and could take years.
IMO hull are in the middle ground, anywhere from fifth to tenth and take it from a wakey fan, that is better than what we usually look forward to, I would put us in the bottom group ninth to fourteenth.
To put all your problems at the feet of the coach and then to continue to blame him is plain wrong, it's not a new coach that's needed it's a grasp of reality.
He's had a fair crack of the whip I agree, but so had every other coach that failed to make Hull FC all conquering, however few have been denegrated so much as Agar.
Now the new man is at the helm, the new reality is to accept what you had under Agar, that to me is madness baring in mind the vilification he received, and shows many FC fans up to be little more than brainless.

When fans come on here and offer views/opinions like you have i think most fans find it a refreshing change from those who cannot put down the poison pens they hold.
Are you 100% happy that Richard bought and chose the teams he put out, or did he have one hand up his back from the previous mob, lets face it Kear was the evil one not too long ago.
Said at the time i did not want Agar at Wakey but i will support him and the team while he's here.

Yep,Hull and Gateshead merged,a known fact.Luckily though the club is called Hull F.C.,that will do quite nicely thank you.

Really didn't want to get into this Agar discussion, but we have one of the highest turnovers in SL, only Leeds and Wigan get more, 3rd highest average crowd and now a pretty wealthy owner (in RL terms). We should be challenging for the top 4. Agar recruited pretty well in his time at Hull, his main plus as a Hull coach, unfortunately he took us backwards and offset our youth policy in his term at Hull.
His wasn't the main reason that Hull have underachieved though, that is down to our previous board.
As for the game Sunday, not confident at all.
