You don't really understand sport, do you?

It will be interesting to see the outcome of the offshore payments scenario. Maybe our underwhelming recent singings and room under the salary cap will pay off. For what it’s worth, there are a few clubs sweating over this and one of them is not too far down the road from us.

Been going since the late 50s and i think i have seen a lot worse times than this.No relegation now and we have a top class stadium,big gates and first class facilities.What we lack now is a figure who runs the club and is prepared to kick on to the next level.The last person we had like that was the late Roy Waudby who was a passionate black and white and kicked us on to the top level.Call the dobbins but that is what they have in Hudgell,he hates us with a passion ,pity we don't have somebody with the same passion.We have wanted a scrum half for years and the present board will not cough up for a top class player instead taking the cheap option.Don't say Dykes because even though he was a top player it was well known before he signed that he was injury prone(big time)What do they do this season,sign Thorman.I think the last few few games when the going gets tough we have seen how one dimensional he is.We get rid of a coach and give an untried one a two and a half year contract,another one who when the going gets tough seems to lack any ideas.In his post match interview after the Wakefield match all i could hear was him mumbling between slurping his drink.He is like rabbit in the headlights,out of his depth(another cheap option).Compare him with the media whore Justine who just loves the limelight and instils confidence in his players.How much longer do we have to go on with the cheap option, Kath and Co want to remember there is a recession on and people will not spend there hard earned money on one dimensional play we are watching.Most of the supporters know we have injuries but so do other clubs,we can excuse that but we can't excuse boring five drives and a kick.I will always go whatever, but next season supporters who are feeling the pinch may decide not to buy their pass,their shirt,their drinks in the bar then Kath will see the income drop.Come on Hull get your act together and stop using the cheap option,it's a false economy.

I agree with you dabhand

some have money they can afford to spend and not worry

some do not and i guess those that don't may be getting pretty tired of spending money on something that is boring, predictable, players that take their money and dont earn it, and poor value for money I AM

i had only missed 2 home games since 1975 up to salford in the cup. I decided to save my money and not go and glad i did after the result.

its a good job we only have 1 home game from now till 5th June. thats 7 weeks i reckon. so i only have to spend £22 providing the players get their act together during those 7 weeks.

We can only keep the faith Mike and hope for a miracle,we are passionate local supporters not out of town business people.We love the club that's why we are on here.

had to edit that as my adding up needs attention. as my old maths teacher used to say.........as your from east hull green you should be able to add to 12 quite easily by using the 6 fingers on each hand !!! wasnt laughing when i gave him a bunch of 6's

1 home game in 7 weeks not 11. many apologies

You were maybe hoping it was 11

Maybe



However 7 weeks is a long time for people to get in a habit of doing other things so hopefully our performances will improve so the turnstiles are in overdrive by then.

I agree with what you say BUT and its a big but we have needed a scrum half for years now not just one or tow someone at the club needs to make a stand on this decision and go and spend some of the money been pumped into the club by us the fans

I will always support this club and look on the bright side at least you are black and white and not that colour form the other dark side of the city

Come on u ULLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Agree 100%, but nothing will change, they simply do not care.

The S/L teams are run has business that why teams were graded if you didnt reach that grade no licence .. part of the grading that teams had to have a sound business ..We can kick and scream but Hull F C got an A grade so who ever is running the Club is doing something right ...

If i may be allowed to say my bit you dont become a bad team overnight my mate sue is disilliusioned as a fc pass holder and shes a die hard you won 5 on the bounce and can turn this around granted the team is lacking in confidence but for some fc fans and i do say a few to say the end is nigh is daft. I believe you can and will turn this around keep the faith folks

RNW
ps i m not taking the mickey!

without the fans and therefore income the club won't be getting another grade A license

nobody can deny that they run the club as a good 'business' we are one of only 3/4 SL sides making a profit...but there has to be a balance between being a good business and being a good RL team

people don't attend games just because we've got a load of ticks on a RFL franchise sheet

is it true.. that i have heard.. grade A license gives u a guaranteed license next period?

it does, we were guaranteed to be in SL for the next 9 years in effect, as I think we can only slip to a B this time, and then a C the time after etc

but the point still stands that they can't brag about an A grade license next time if the KC isn't 40% full, and we don't meet the income standards

Not if we slip to a grade C! Think a grade A simply gives us our status for 3 years doesnt it?

no i'm pretty sure we can only slip one grade

but then again it will have been Rule i heard say that, and i wouldn't trust HullFC's knowledge of RFL rules!

If, at the next inspection, we get a B, that will be the three years at A, then three years at B, then at the next inspection (after 3 years) we get a C then we get another three years, making it 9.

The likelihood of us ever dropping below B is low, the stadium and youth and communiy work pretty much guarantee us the minimum of B.

i am with you 100%

So, are they not allowed to make a profit from their investment(eventually), and not meant to expect their loansto be repaid?

So, when the cub struggl we can expect directors to pump their own money in, but when we do well they can't take any of tha money back?

Hardly fair.

Totally agree. I would like to use your club/fans as an example of what could happen when people walk away. If all of the 7500 regulars who now attend your games actually attended games throughout the 90's, instead of now claiming they did, maybe you would not have been in the wilderness for so long.

I, like many others am fed up to the back teeth with the tripe that I have to witness on a regular basis. I find myself questioning my support and for the first time wondering if it is all worthwhile. Will I walk away? I very much doubt it, but if I did, only to return when the good days came back, I would have the balls to admit that I was once a deserter.

I aint walking away from the club, like many of us i have seen far worse, i have my pass therefore i will be attending the home games, i won't however be spending silly money on merchandise (which i have already started doing so this season!!!).

I love this club and i'll support it forever more....still cheesed off though!

the big difference for me is that when I've seen bad Hull sides before (the end of the 90s for example) its been down to lack of money, and playing in a poor ground, whenever there was any success they'd sell off key players to stay afloat etc

now things are different because we have such big resources, yet are just being mismanaged

people are only getting so worked up about the club because they care, we were 80mins from being SL champions, now we are so far away we may as well be in National League 1.

Exactly right.
