NEW for 2011 are the brand new video profiles for the current first team squad, a host of new blogs, new look match sections with previews, reports and stats and the opportunity to pledge your support as The 18th Man. If all that wasn’t enough, there’s some brand new video content in the world of hospitality and Mark O’Meley will soon be providing some exclusive video hints and tips for the young and old alike. And it doesn’t stop there either, as also on the way this year is a brand new match centre, which having been the first of it’s kind in Super League last season, will now be the most detailed and up to date match portal available online for Hull FC matches.

Not for me

I've managed to get it up. So to speak.

I wonder if that will be the actual view from the terraces, or the sanitised, club-endorsed view from the terraces.

I reckon its a made up name, sounds like it, Kath or Ja Rool in disguise.

if you read his first entry it is deffiently the clubs view

In another of our new blogs for the 2011, the voice of the fans, Phil Back, gives us his take on the new season. Throughout the year he will be conveying the opinion of those that grace the terraces!

Another big take up of season tickets by the FC fans appears to have seen our ticket sales up there around last year’s record levels again. If a measure of our loyalty as fans is needed then you only have to look at how our season ticket sales compare with the average total gate of some clubs in Super League.


Not that I am gloating of course, but it has to be a glowing endorsement to the passion and long suffering commitment of the fans around the terraces of the KC. I know that the club continue to tell us just how appreciative they are of our support, and we should be proud of it as well, because we must be as a body of people one of the most loyal sets of fans in the game.


This closed season we have made four new signings as the club attempts to consolidate. It’s sometimes easier to see how you can get loads of season ticket holders when you have been out there splashing the cash on 4 or 5 big name imports or have a recent playing record like say the Saints, Wigan or Leeds fans have enjoyed.


It’s also easy to stay away in your droves when times are hard like the good people of Salford and London do on a regular basis despite the best efforts of those clubs and their players and officials to provide first class entertainment. In fact it’s probably easiest to commit when your club drops their prices to a ridiculously low level as a ‘Loss Leader’, like Bradford have done this year.


Here at the FC, however we are just fans, who love our club, sometimes we feel aggrieved and badly done by, because as fans that’s out right, we pay our money and are entitled to our opinions but in the end we just believe in supporting our team ‘In Any Kinda Weather’ and at times like these when the fans are experiencing hard times and have varying opinions on our playing record, I am still just as proud to be part of that great community.


These are tough times but loyalty is a great thing in a fan base and perhaps something that the newer clubs in our competition will find is hard to develop in the short term at least.

It is something that is historically built on the bed rock of years and years of celebrating isolated but glorious success in a desert of general mediocrity and disappointment.


That’s what the last 50 odd years at Hull FC have been like for those fans who have weathered it. As a fan I know once said, it’s invariably the bad times that make the good times so good, and though gates will fluctuate with our on field fortunes, there are many of us who stick with it just for that reason!


Even in our seventies after a life time of trudging the country watching the Airlie Birds we just can’t bear to be anywhere else when the FC are playing!

Looks very good, better info on the youngsters and hullfc.tv on the iPhone/blackberry is great.

OMG pass the sick bucket, typed with one hand twisted behind his back

More spin

Gone very aussie

Where did he get the idea that we people may stay away?



Water! Water!

I appreciate that levels of cynicism are at a record high, but I'm not sure what everyone's problem with that blog piece is. Reads like it was written by a fan to me, and while a lot won't agree with the sentiment there are plenty who post on here who would.

Plus anyone who is expecting a highly critical piece to be published on the club's own website is living in la la land.

So the banner maker won't be getting a blog?

Probably not been living in a cave for the last several weeks.


You'd need several tankers to cross the 'desert' we've been stuck in.

Reads like it was written by someone pretending to be a fan to me.



Indeed. Which makes the whole exercise kind of pointless, as it's not the 'view from the terraces' at all.

Not sure about that TBH. You get all shades of opinion and it wouldn't be that difficult to find a fan with a media-friendly attitude. Especially given the bit about how old he is and how long he's been following the club. We've had examples right here on the forum. Seems more likely than making someone up when that info would be bound to leak sooner or later.


I agree. I've never been a fan of gimmicky stuff like that TBH, regardless of where it's been used. I only really visit the official site for FCTV, and I haven't seen anything on the new site that's likely to change that pattern.

Looks better than the old Hull site (and the current Rovers one). One thing that does annoy me though is that both Hull and Rovers go out of town for the majority of their design work. There are more design agencies in Hull per capita than anywhere else in the UK and while a lot of them are small fry pretenders there are some quality studios putting out great work (I should know, I work at one). It's disappointing that 2 clubs that put so much emphasis on the local community and getting support from local businesses don't return the favour when it comes to them spending their own money.

Probably a selfish rant, I'd love to do work for either Hull or Rovers.

We'll have to differ on that. It reads like an outright piece of club propaganda to me. If the guy [iis[/i a real person, it looks like he's been given a fairly narrow brief about what his piece should include.

I've just watched the u20's v hudds, a very good program.

Hopefully this will carry on for the full season.

This is the new message for 2011 , Bad times make the good times better! Hell we don't want to get into that winning all the time stuff it'd just be boring but .. hang on.....

That is hilarious. I feel compelled to mock up a picture of Jimmy Rule as Joseph Goebbels but sadly I fear my photoshop skills aren't up to it... anyone?

You don't have to invent someone in order to do that. As I said, it wouldn't be that hard to find an on-message fan and as you point out he could be further guided by giving him a narrow brief.

And just about everything on every official club site is propaganda of some sort. That's kinda the point of them, which is why I don't use them much.
