well put RG!

Hi - Perhaps you should reflect on this - I am not a young cyber warrior - nor am I not grown up but on Saturday our next Generation (aged three) was taken to the game and as it is with babies they get bored - He wanted to wander about - Now over the years Grandma would not have taken her eye off the game - But bloody Hell I was Bored so I wandered with him. I think that may sum up the state of our team at the moment. Yes i will take the rough with the smooth but I will not accept boredom.

The performance was unacceptable, but to say the game was "boring" seems a bit odd ?

Or is it only "boring" if we don't play well ??

Like I say there doesn't seem to be much future for many of the teams in the 3 divisions then does there ? By the claims made, at least half of them should pack it in now and stop boring their fans.

only half of them???

I have loved Rugby League for so long now and have always said when footie lovers have had a go - I have never been bored at a Rugby League game as compared to seeing many boring football games - but Ill bow to you as you seem more clued in than me.
Oh and by the way- make a note of what I said about normally not taking my eyes off the game

Well, probably three-quarters.

What would these people think if they had been brought up as (eg) Workington fans ? or poor old Bramley ?

FFS, life ain't that bad

Oh if only I had been born in Workington or Bramley - my misery would have been compounded - but he you keep up the Mr Happy outlook

Strangely enough i am still enjoying hull away days, well apart from maybe an hour or so!! for me its the home games i am struggling to motivate myself to get to, have'nt missed one yet but think i'll need a good friday feeling this week to inspire me, i know the last couple of seasons have been poor to say the least but the negative vibes that start almost from kick off at the kc turn it into a souless place, granted its a lovely stadium but it seems unless a derby game there is virtually no amosphere at all

yeah but we wasnt brought up in workington or bramley was we??? look mate, you may be ok with whats going on at the club, and yeah we know youv seen bad times before, but can you tell me, when have Hull FC ever had it so good off the pitch ie-merchandise, pass sales, regular gates of 13,000+ grade A licence??? they havent, us supporters are getting s*it on, by the board, players and them 2 numptys who couldnt come up with a game plan, if they played 1 game a month, so forgive us if we seem a tad p*ssed off, we should have kicked on from 2005, but did we? 91' when we won the premiership, and we went downhill from there, wasnt as depressing as what it is now, the club was in sh*t street, we had to let players go, now we should be a top 2 team, not scrapping around at the bottom, now if i came from Worky or Bramley, i wouldnt expect much would i? so please dont tell me it aint bad!

I did indeed. Everyone has an opinion and is quite rightly allowed one. Just seems to me that some people base there arguments against the club/players/performances without actually attending games.

I have no moral high ground to stand and i don't like the position we find ourselves in anymore than anyone else. Fortunately/unfortunately i can get to all the games and can make an unbalanced judgement as good as the next fan, but it's based on observation and i don't spend ALL my time on here whininging about it.

BTW TV games are easy to comment on though that wasn't the point.

Read the post again. You have other reasons not to go, therefor it's not aimed at you.

I appreciate the effort it took to reply though.

You're right, everyone has the right to express their opinion, that is regardless of being at the game, listening on radio or being at the game.

There will always be some who just whinge and some who are more balanced, that what makes a forum.

And just how many Hull KR 'fans' were left in Craven Park on Friday night to applaud the players off........????? The 'Robin Walk' me thinks

Looking forward to our big push up the league myself























Well........eternally optimistic me y'know!

To be fair TLJ, I had loads of fun going away to Whitehaven and Workington and watching a poor team lose plenty of games. Even then though, the rugby was not as dour a product as it is now. We used to play some interesting stuff, we always had at least two heroes to hold in high regard and camaraderie between the fans that actually followed us back then was immense. It was in fact my happiest times as a fan in this period.

I know the new fans that have started supporting us since we've been successful can be annoying with their expectations of glory but it's not about us losing, it's HOW we're losing. Paying £23 to sit in the sterile KC is a hefty blow in itself, but to pay that to sit through the dirge we're currently being served up takes the biscuit.

Fair point mate, and thanks for a balanced answer too !

So why start a thread about attending games if it's OK to watch on TV and comment too, which I would probably think most people on this forum would have done.

Just admit it, you think your opinion means more because you attend more games. That's your real point, and now are backtracking.

I would certainly respect the opinion of someone who goes to all the games over an occasional/armchair fan who likes to bitch a lot on forums.

What if the person who goes to all the games is an idiot and does not
know one end of the field from another ?

What if the person who does not attend all the games is a grade 3 coach and has 30years of rugby experience?

Surely it's all relative and each person should be viewed on their merit.

That and £33 for some people to buy a "cheap" away shirt



Fair points there mate

I have not been to the KC all season................

Even though I am ok now I shall still not be going, I am going to start going away Cas being the first one hopefully.

I do not give a toss what anyone thinks

My opinion is just that, an opinion. But it is formed on facts and not hearsay. Simple really isn't it, view all the facts first hand before commenting? (see original post!)

the one where you stated physical attendance was complsory before having an opinion? and TV was apparently not an acceptable substitute.

You are a Cas supporter now

glad you are returning
