That is the most sensible post ive read on here for a very long time

I'll get one but my enthusiasm is shot too bits at the min.
I can agree with this though. Can easily understand why a lot will think this way!!!
Personally I'd expect our passes to be down by a 1000ish come season start. Even in my small circle i have a few not renewing, get the impression they'll be sticking to their guns on it as well

Excellent post.

with you on that stance. cooke no no never forget n never forgive a judas

Maybe I'm paranoid but.......

I just don't believe the number of posters supporting the return of Judas.

Is this him & his mates trying to brainwash us that it is a good idea ?

Won't work with me, his sins against the club are unforgivable.

No No No..........................

Unlike FC I have my plan sorted for next season. I am not renewing my passes ( I normally get 3 ). I am going to attend 6 matches of my choice, probably the better teams and not ones that are been televised. This way I am saving a few quid and " keeping my powder dry" for the following season should the experiment of Radders and Judas works!!!!!

BIG, BIG mistake Mr Pearson just read some of the posts above, you are imposing a regime on us that many don't want, if you think my hard earned money was going to some one who did so much damage to our club, well think again.

What a crock off S**t, all these I'm not renewing because of Cooke, I'm not renewing because of Radders, I'm not renewing because we don't score 50 a game are all poor excuses. Back the club IAKOW you will be back when we rise to the top.

That's your opinion. Everyone else has their own, as they're entitled to do.

Few are saying they will never be back. What I think the gist of this all is, that most will start to pick and choose games. There will be a fluctuation between 11000 gates and possibly as low as 7500 depending on the opposition next year.
Cooke is an emotive subject and many of us will never forget or forgive. He left us totally in the mire from which we have never escaped.
Whilst your opinion is valid and you are entitled to it, you also have to accept that some will not feel the same as you and their opinion is equally valid. Mr Pearson will be sitting in his office today (or should be) and these opinions are what he should be considering. Does he gamble and run with people who share your view point or does he listen to the other view point and act accordingly.
My thoughts have always been that owners, players, coaches etc come and go, but the hardcore fans stick around. By hardcore I mean those who will not totally walk away. I would estimate there are only about 4000 of those. Its the other 6000+ that will waver and all have their breaking point. For some Cooke may well be the breaking point and you have to accept that.
The other consideration is that of the 4000 not everyone will be able to attend games every week. Thats for a variety of reasons. Some may be desperate to go but simply can't afford it.
So please accept that some have differeing views and its not all a crock.

Just having Radford as head coach = no pass renewal

Just having Cooke back at my club = no pass renewal


Both of the above and AP has just thrown a double six!

When I said after last weeks debacle at Huddersfield that I would be getting my money back from my season pass, it was MY protest at what had unfolded over the past season. I didn't say that I would'nt be going again. I probably will go to most home games and be selective, if I do go to all the home games then I will be out of pocket by £40 and the club better off by that same £40, so in effect I'm cutting of my nose to spite my face, isn't that what protests are about?

Just can't bring myself to renew mine at this moment in time. I may feel different in a few weeks and I hope I do. It hurts me(like it does thousands of others) to see my club in a mess once again and if rumours are true about player power rearing it's ugly head once again then the club is even more of a shambles then what I'm fearing.

When will that be ?

I don't see anyone stating they will stop supporting the club, in fact most are saying they will still go to the games of "THEIR" choice.
What people are saying is that they will not be renewing their passes. This however leads to fans straying away from the club.

EG
Hull V Wigan, friday night also live on sky. Been a rough week money wise, so they decide it is a much better option to watch at home.
Hull V Warrington, friday night, also on sky. Freezing cold and nice and cosy in the house, they decide they might as well watch in the warmth.


Season passes are the lifeblood of clubs and although they drop when the team is not performing too well season on season they don't drop anywhere near as much as they do when the people in charge make a decision that a fair percentage seem to be against.


If it works out and it becomes successful then the supporters will come back in droves, however if it fails spectacularly those supporters will drift further and further away and that habit of going is lost.

Good post.

Now is the time to remind you all, passes went up agai this year.

Value for money eh!

Just think next season £24 a game to watch........

I do think there should be a loyalty where you get say 50 quid of a pass if u renew it. I don't mean discount period too.

Agree, reward loyalty, currently no difference from old passholder to new passholder

I can see people's viewpoint that with all the offers we give out a non passholder will pay about as much as a passholder.

Thanks for that little outburst.

Backed the club for nearly 40 years which is more than 2 of our rumoured new coaching team who walked out on deals with our club.

Radders i can just about accept but to bring Judas back in some capacity will cost the club a hell of a lot in lost revenue.

Looks like the only game i will be going to next season will be Sir Richard Whiting's testimonial.

We have had far worse teams and far harder times than this in the 40 years you claim to have been 'backing' the club. Did you turn your back on the club in those hard times as well??

Maybe started following FC in the 60s and missed a few years due to poor form.

No passes in this family and my thoughts where I would see how the first 5 games (excluding Sky) were going but I like your idea very much. See you against Saints

I'll renew for 2014 even though I am sorry to see Gentle go, especially if his dismissal was due to player power.

If, in twelve months time, the players have once again decided they don't want to play for the coach I definitely won't be renewing again. The club can't keep "rebuilding" every five minutes and if players can't be bothered to play I can't be bothered to watch them .
