| I like the HDM article and would certainly contribute if it were to be organised.
I don't think a boycott of a cup game would have any effect at all as it could be argued that the low crowd figure was down to general apathy towards the cup.
For me not attending the next home game en mass against Salford would be more appropriate and send out a short sharp shock to the management.
Yes it's not nice hurting the club we love but it would be akin to pulling off a plaster quickly then hopefully instead of just continue to linger from one disaster to another losing fans along the way Pearson must be forced to act.
I certainly will not be attending until this debacle ends. Yes it initially hurts not going but then that hurt turns to general apathy so I would urge the disgruntled mass to do likewise and hopefully this hurt will prolong no longer just think of doing it as being for the greater good.
I will also be e-mailing Adam again to get his thoughts now.

| I will put my hands up and admit I am a" any kind of weather supporter"but feel aggrieved that because of that loyalty I will accept anything.Like many others i spend a shed load of money following Fc in the way of passes ,merchandise and every away game, and that's not just for me its a family of four.What we watched on Friday was pure dross and make no mistake I have let my feeling known.What I will not do is walk away from the Club I have followed for over 50yrs.I fully agree something has to be done and quick or the pay on the day fans will stay away and the Club can ill afford that.Its been said that Pearson is only in it for his back pocket ? Its cost him a small fortune so far and he will have got nothing back so how on earth fans think he is making money from the club is beyond me.The way forward in my view is for Pearson to meet with some fans and listen to what they have to say and for him to explain why it looks as if he is not bothered,this needs to be done in a balanced way and not threats because I doubt he would do anything if blackmailed with walk outs,ect.What the need is fans to stay loyal but the club need to show they care what the fans want. SPOT ON HOKIE

| I think people on here tend to forget that a only a tiny percentage of the supporter base read this.
Trying to organise a boycott is laughable.

| Not trolling but why hurt the club by not turning up. A novel way would be to turn up in numbers but be completely silent for the game even when scoring.. Make it a library.

Lets not forget there's the Hull sites on F/B & Twitter also , A co-ordinated approach across all forms of social media , Radio & local press would reach quite a lot of fans imo . We first have to nail the game & time the protests should take place the get it out there .
This is Hull , we all know how quickly rumors spread in this city .

There is no easy answer to all of this and those calling for a boycott or other action at the derision of some only do so out of frustration and the hope something will change for the better.
I'm not calling the IAKOW weather brigade here who clearly not happy will still attend anyway but how would you feel if the actions of a few changed the club for the better for the majority would you all still be willing to mock and call those who did something?
This is not solely directed at you but a genuine question for those of you on here.

I was not accusing you of mocking and whatever side of the fence you sit on we all want the same.
Just saying those that want to watch regardless just watch those who want to act,act. Should be no derision towards either side.
Fans should now pull together in order to stop this rot.

| Quote ="bonaire"The best way for fans to voice their concerns would be to take out a large or even full page advert space in the Hull daily Mail.
I don't know how much that would cost but if we had a campaign it could be paid for by the fans on here.
By using the HDM it would be picked up by local radio,internet,and more important as Humberside is a BBC radio station it would definitely make news on the TV.'"
How about everyone canvasses their friends and family to get a few hundred names of people who won't be buying a season pass if Radford is in charge. Then we take a full page advert in the HDM and print all those names.
I'm no marketing man, but for me that would be a pretty powerful message.

Clearly. Why pay for an advert when you can get a letter printed for nowt.

A proper advert carries more weight imo, and I doubt the HDM would print something like that as a letter anyway. Certainly not of that size.

| I'm afraid the only way that Mr Pearson will actually take note of the fans is when the tills stop ringing. I am not implying at all that he is only in it for the money, he has plouged too much in to be accused of that. But revenue is the lifeline of the club and his sanity. We as a group of fans need to stop purchasing shirts etc. We should not be signing up for the 12 month direct debit season pass scheme (I notice that was stuck in our faces immediately after Friday's debacle). Even if you have a season pass don't turn up on Friday. Regardless of passes being counted or not through the turnstyles, AP will know exactly how many people passed through a turnstyle. If hes not monitoring it, I'm sure our Egyptian friend is. They can claim a 10k gate but it won't take a genius to realise that there is only 5k in.
The bottom line now is that most have had enough. Yes this forum only has a small percentage of the fan base contributing, but I bet many more read it and sadly are agreeing. Others have simply left the scene altogether. Not protesting, not shouting and screaming about things, they've simply quietly disappeared probably never to return.
That is the sad thing about the current situation. Since 2006 we have endured some absolute dross without too many highs. But generally speaking we have stuck by the club. Average gates for a side achieving what we have would I suspect generally speaking be about 5000. That says alot about how we are actually IAKOW. But we have reached the tipping point and enough is enough.
If Mr Pearson really cared he would be listening and not be digging his heals in. I know he can't knee jerk with every fan moan, but this is getting bad now. He should have a team contacting pass holders everytime they fail to attend a game. He should have that same team calling lapsed pass holders to see why they have not renewed. He should be showing that he cares for his customers. Once he does that and starts to address the concerns of the loyal fans he will see the rewards. But rallying calls threatening us about lost revenue and closed stands if we dont do this that and the other was a mistake and is proving to be a bigger one now than many of us could have imagined.
So don't go on Friday, it will have an effect and will send the message out. Salford will bring a packed taxi making the atmosphere shocking. That I suspect will be what makes Mr P sit up and take note.

The 240, 000 that travel to every Rovers away game have been staying away from home games for years, whats your excuse?
