Who are the creditors? Is a big chunk of them season pass sales? Got anywhere with those other questions yet?

There is no detailed information on the creditors are, as you well know. I've posted the cash position. Why would I have access to AP's bank account? That's just crazy. Look, you've clearly stated that the financial position is OK and not materially different now to what it was a year ago. 2015 accounts won't be filed until next summer. Current credit ratings of the club's financial position and their change over the last year support my interpretation over yours. Get that Radford wheelie bin avatar going. Play to your strengths.

| Quote ="Mrs Barista"The club has lost £1.5m since 2010.
The user agreement is becoming increasingly challenging.
Average gates in 2010 were 14,000, so are down around 30%with commensurate reductions in sponsorship.
Call it bleating if you like, but don't imply there's no financial difficulty here, or claim you weren't given notice of it.'"
Why is the user agreement "becoming increasingly challenging"
It hasnt changed, we pay a set fee for the stadium up to 7500 (approx) people per game then after that we give half of ticket income to the SMC.
I said years ago the agreement was a mill stone to the club, loads had a pop at me saying how it was watertight and safeguarded our club "if times got hard"
Again no figures from AP, but we know in Kaths last year the club was pulling in £5mill pa, AP even admitted this. Hes not come out with a figure in recent years however.

I love this club. I'm not an employee, but I am a passholder, a member of it if you like.

You didnt choose to buy a pass,

Of course this is of Pearson's making, or at least via poor choices he's had a major impact. Where have I said otherwise. But we can mither about the past or take stock of what we have and decide what we want to do as members of the club. Support it with reservations about its leadership and strategy, or cancel our membership.'"
I'm fed up of the same waffle for the last 8 years, first kath, Rule now AP, all the same waffle.
I dont want to settle for 8th, or even 6th, unlike some, its time to do something

| Quote ="Jake the Peg"It is bleating and it's boring. Neither you or I know what the drop in income is, any more than we know what the drop in costs is over the same period but I do remember you telling us a while back that we only made a small operating loss in 2014. Crowds aren't significantly down since then but we seem to have shed a fair amount of cost in salaries so I'd assume it's reasonable to expect a no dissimilar financial performance for 2015.
Maybe you can give your professional view on the additional savings being made on the academy and the increase in SKY income for 2015 or doesn't your myopia allow you to bring any balance to your posts?'"
Dont worry, scrape a 6th and she'll be cartwheeling

I chose to buy a full pass for someone who'll attend maximum 2 games instead, we've done this about 5 times now. Keep repeating it, I'll keep repeating my response. Bring it.

| Quote ="OmneFC"In terms of the "Hull Fc" brand, it is very damaging to say that you are in financial difficulty. This would be a particularly risky move if it wasnt true, a key problem would be that you might struggle to attract sponsors who wouldnt want to be associated with a sinking ship.
I doubt that any owner of a business with a noticeable brand would lie about financial insecurity for a potential gain - it just doesnt work that way.'"
The longer we spend scraping 8th the more fans will leave us, and not return.
It ruined Huddersfield and thats why they have poor gates, once a generation gives up you wont ever get fans back.

If it will take a generation to get fans back, should we mothball the club for 20 years and start again? What's the point in trying in that case?

Hudders kept going with gates of 400, they have multplied their gates ten fold.
Even if we drop down to 3000 again i wouldnt be fussed, my only issue is i wouldnt be able to walk to games, costello is too far, so it'd be a bus

Cockle is a term of endearment, derived from the Latin for little heart. Deary me.

6th in the top flight would be above average in the context of my time supporting the club. So not delighted but about where we are. We don't have the resources of the Top 4, or Warrington, or Salford. Unfortunately.

In my time of supporting the club, we've been worse off, a lot worse off, the relative riches we have now and the level playing field with the salary cap we should have an even chance of being on a par with Huddersfield, they made top 4 with our fat reject running the show
