| Quote ="hullbg"It's not just the coach he does not agree with though, it is the whole playing side of it and he blames the coach for that. Current recruitment along with the outgoing players also does not bode well for the coming season either.
Even though i have renewed i can understand fully why other people have not renewed. I personally have started feeling that going to watch our team is more like a chore than the joy it used to be. At least when the club were struggling financially you felt you were contributing to the club when you turned up, nowadays you get the feeling the club care more about profit margins then they do the average supporter.'"
have to agree with these sentiments, i have renewed today but cant say that im really looking forward to the season, cant see any real chance of trophies or being entertained. Have i renewed with blind faith yes. I can understand people choosing games next year its expensive to sit through 80 minutes of dross.
We have to go back to Mcraes days for real entertainment. 2005 cc win was fantastic but the league campaign was at times very boring.
I did not realise i would be charged two pounds for [ueach pass[/u when i was paying with switch/visa these payments are immediate and i have not been charged before using this card, the guy said you can pay by cheque and you would not have had a charge, thought cheques were dying out. Felt a bit ripped off by the club, why two pounds each pass on one transaction?

| Quote ="mogg"
A business will lose customers if
- the product is poor
- the product doesn't offer value for money
- there are better alternatives
A club will lose a FEW customers (supporters) for the same reasons BUT
the majority will support them blindly, through thick and thin, in ANY KIND OF WEATHER.
Because how many people would have renewed their season passes if the only new signing we had was a winger from Harlequins ?
Yes, Westerman has cost us £150k, but at £200 a pass, that's only 750 passes.'"
So you are saying the club can get away with not providing us with a sub standard team so long as they throw in a couple of treats from time to time?
Westerman also needs a good wage, the government will want their share of pass sales, do the SMC take a % of season ticket sales over a certain amount, do you honestly think that the Westerman fee will be paid for in increased season ticket sales this year?
With the heavy investment in youth and sound financial structure of our club do you think they are looking at long term gain and not short term rewards?

i dont agree with you, and hes been pumping money into the club for a hell of a lot of years, passes, shirts, coats etc etc, this is where age came into it, and at the age of 72 and going since he was 4-5, hes put alot into supporting them, and if your watching boring rugby every week bar the odd game, he'll do well to spend his time with his family, and thats how it will remain until the entertainment value comes back!!
If we got to wembley this season, you bet my old man will be there, hes 72!!! wembley appearences are few and far between, he may not see another, so yeah he'd be there!! or do you think he should stay at home??

If you don't want to go, then that's fine and it's your own business with your own reasons, but why complain about something you don't even attend? I don't complain about Hull City, Hull Stingrays or any other Hull based team, because I'm not a fan!

hes never once been on here, not even to read posts, he cant be ar*ed with forums (his words! we did try to introduce him to them!! ) he doesnt complain to anyone his views, he told us what he thought and his decision, end off
and whats "your either a fan or your not? is buying a pass, going everyweek, buying shirts etc etc is this a fan? now a mate of mines been going to FC for years, unfortunately he got made redundant a couple of years ago, and the job he has now isnt well paid, so hes not had a pass since, and only manages to go a couple of times a season, hes not bought a shirt, just listens to the match on radio, ill have to go tell him hes not a fan now, im sure he'll agree with you!

I doff my cap to you dad - that's alot of support he has afforded Hull over alot of years. How come it is now he's decided to stop. Were not exactly challenging for GF or playing champagne rugby but things have been 10x worse then they are now in the entertainment stakes then they are now during the time your dad has followed Hull.

But he'd be going to see the same duff coach and players playing the same boring rugby that he doesn't want to watch for the rest of the season. Where's the logic in that?

You're missing the point I made. I wasn't directing it at any particular fan, just to fans it applies to.
And redundancy is another point completely, I was talking about choice. I would never criticise anyone who can't afford to come and support their team.

The logic is that the odds of us getting to any final is extremely slim.

Hes fed up of the rugby, yeah your right in that the club/finances/rugby has been worse during the years so we expected times to be hard, we just waited for that silver lining, that break, which came in the shape of Shane Richardson and co, and we turned a corner, then the rugby was exciting, it wasnt always about winning, it was watching good entertaining rugby, then came the CC win, a GF appearence, we should of kicked on and got stronger and better, but we went backwards at an alarming rate, thats whats wrong, its like he said, off the pitch we are to be envied, state of the art stadium, finances excellent, support excellent, but where it matters on the pitch, its not happening, and this has got to be down to the man in charge, im gutted hes not coming next season, but hes just had it with Agar and his tactics, and as long as the rugby stays the same, he wont be fleeced!!

Well said!
I dont get to all the away games nowadays cos of family etc but come kick off time I might as well be there!
The wife will ask me if Hull have kicked of yet and if the answer is YES its a case of leave me alone for a couple of hours while I listen to radio, internet or watch sky. Like a coiled spring while Hull are playing and I blame my dad, and his dad and his dad.
