No it hasnt...

I understand completley, spot on, i have renewed my pass but the club should be aware of people like your dad and many more who dont get dragged into the hype the club give. I have supported the club for many years and we have had worse teams yes, but its the frustration that the potential of the club after 2005/6 seasons has been wasted, and our next two seasons has been given to a coach who is more suited to second division or assistant coach.

Well said.

I renewed my pass, but only the week leading upto Christams. For the second year on the trot I gave serious consideration to not renewing my pass and didnt simply do it at the first oppertunity.

I have little enthusiasm for the coming season and expect more of what we have been served up over the past 2 seasons, with that in mind it makes it very difficult to part with £200 when I know I am more than likely going to be bored s**tless at the vast majority of games.

Over the past 3 seasons, attending FC games has become a chore for me rather than an enjoyable experience and it has started to test my commitment and passion as a Hull FC supporter for the first time in my life.

Feel exactly the same way mate,I have renewed but already know I will be missing games due to other commitments,First home game against Leeds being one of them.
Would NEVER stop going to see FC, but the days of putting everything else off to blindly turn up and follow them in what has recently become a usually lacklustre display ,have for this fan at least ended.

Sold 8,000 now

not sure they'll sell another 1,000 to beat last years record. Surely most have bought before the price increase? but would like to proven wrong.

Might not beat last year's record, but still very impressive IMO. IIRC there are quite a few pass sales for children in January as the price doesn't increase for these, although this might be impacted by increasing the reserved element. Good news, anyway, and a good milestone to start the year on.

It all depends, junior passes still stay at £49 so they may still sell quite a few of them

It is vey impressive that we've sold that amount. I think another 500 - 700 sales is a reasonable estimate which is very tidy effort.

Great news.

Still plenty of time to shift another 1,000 or so.

So much for the doom-mongers who said we'd sell nowhere near this figure (as they did for 2010, 2009 etc etc).

Great news



Fans clearly optimistic

I originally thought we'd sell around 8,500 but i think we will break the 9,000 mark before the start of the season now. I know quite a few people who wait to get the kids passes after xmas.

That's a fantastic achievement in the current climate.

Must say i am very surprised by the pass sales and it is great for the club that the fans continue to back the team regardless.

Regardless of what ? Finishing 6 places higher than the previous season ?

Regardless of the sleep inducing rhubarb they served up last year !!

Still think this?

So, given the choice of winning games or being entertaining you'd rather see entertaining (but loosing) How odd.

Surprised you really need to ask me that question if you really want to know my views you only have to look at nearly every post i make on this board.



To be honest I would settle for a lower position if we played entertaining rugby, at the moment i get more enjoyment watching the grass on the pitch grow than watching our poor excuse for rugby.

End of the day we win nothing playing Agars "percentage" rugby so we may as well play entertaining rugby, we may surprise ourselves and improve all round.

Why are you surprised ? You yourself said you'd be happy with top 8 last season. I'm sure many other fans were too and they've renewed their passes as a result.

I was happy with top 8, what I was not happy with was the standard of rugby we produced. Lets face it after 11th and 12th placed finishes our hopes were always going to be limited. What we did not expect with the new look "quality" team (Agar went for quality not quantity) was our rugby to continue to be as dull and uninspiring as 2009.
2010 was Agars team and he showed us exactly what to expect from Agar teams in the future, which is dull percentage rugby which will generally get you more wins than losses without really threatening for honours.

Not really. I've said before on here that entertaining rugby generally breeds decent results. I'd take losing a few if we played well. I'd rather than that lose a few and play tripe all season.

We could, of course, go for entertaining AND winning rugby.Realms of fantasy I know,but we can all dream.

That would be ideal, but untill then I'd go for winning.

From what i have heard the 60 minute passes are the best seller in superleague.

Go away and comeback when you have something worth saying. 2 posts and both worthless way to go!!!

we finished 6th with negative points for and against. We entertained the fans for about 2/3 games of the season, surely thats not good enough with the size of the club the support it gets and the money the fans put into the club through merchandice. If you look back to 2003/4 we played far better rugby, we were entertained it was a joy to go, now its like we have to go. Like going to church (my daughters words)
