UllFC has unfortunately turned into one of those 'supporters', who'll happily have a pop at the club at every opportunity. It's even got to the point where they're creating comparisons which either aren't comparable (E.g. Liverpool's ECOC, vs Hull's UKCOC), or simply making things up (E.g. Hull haven't approached Siemens), to give themselves more negative ammo to fire at FC. Bumpy is the master of it.
UllFC used to come across fairly well too. |

agree doom and gloom,nobody on here knows the ins and outs but the merger does look iffy to say the least, the squad next year does look good though and imo we can challenge for 4/5 which is another step up the ladder, I feel Wembley in my blood to COYH

I do wish we would stop making statements about the fact that next season will see us with the best squad in Super league its so 2013 when the fans know that it simply isn't true. It's a good one and dare I say an exciting prospect, but hardly better on paper or otherwise than Wigan, Leeds and Saints. And even if it was on paper I'd keep quite because we still have to get them to perform consistently and you have to look back to 2008 or even before then to find that!! I'd rather have a "Buy season tickets or we go bust " type statement because at least we would know where we are and even if we were over a barrel would know what we had to do to make things right!
As for the merger stuff here's an interesting piece from our Coach who at a time when the Club will be trying to convince us of what a great idea gifting rovers or best under 15 players our facilities at Bishop Burton and most of our coaching staff is, seems to be extolling the current set up and how well it is doing at producing stars!

The more I hear about this Academy and the more people within the local game I speak to, the more it baffles me from your point of view.
Rovers are actively releasing our top end Academy players and replacing them with players who have come through other Super League clubs Academy's. Minns and Shaw are already in plus I gather there is another kid coming on loan from Leeds.
Robinson has gone. Guzdek is going. Esslement has gone. Hallet is going I believe.
It appears to me that Rovers are banking on using Hulls staff and facilities and hoping that the new Academy produces that many players that we are handed some by default with minimum cost and effort to ourselves.
Just my opinion, buts it's the way I see things at the minute. I'll go and watch them play just as I have gone to watch Rovers and Hulls academy's this season but I think I'll be keeping a closer eye on manoeuvrings off the field than on it...

Seems to me that Pearson has well and truly had his pants pulled down over the Academy merger. A mistake of a similar magnitude to the appointment of Radford. I suspect that he will be similarly unable to admit that he was wrong though and so we'll plough on with it regardless.
Pearson's ego is beginning to become an issue.

I took exception to the sneering way supporter was put in inverted commas, like having a different opinion to the club makes me less of a fan. It's been one extreme to another on this board for a long time now, everything has to be 'pro HullFC' or 'Anti HullFC' when ultimately we are all fans of the same club! |

There is no wonder commercial revenue is down. Ignoring the fact we've been rubbish for years, we have no professional marketing team and the club seem to regularly find was of alienating the fan base. Throw in an ill thought out merger with our nearest and dearest and you can see why businesses aren't dipping in their pockets.
As much as rule had his faults, he was a qualified marketer and very personable with the sponsors and we don't seem to have replaced his skills since he went. I believe sarah macallister is in charge of corporate marketing but I don't know what background she has and at a time when money is short we need the best we can get to weedle it out of businesses

Fair comment although I never saw any of the alleged incidents myself. Even kath used to come round and talk to everyone in the circle restaurant |
