Sound is fine here. Picture is pretty lousy but then there's not that much to see so I can live with that.

Currently around 360 people watching so must be doing something right.

God forbid anyone suggest that Rule did a good job when he was in charge of marketing...

And the SMC user agreement is a mill stone round our neck

AP wants a stronger 12 team league, says RFL are improving commercially. Possibility the clubs could control the RFL by the end of the year.

Indeed.

Mind you, if this turns out to be the quality standard for HullFCTV this season I will [inot[/i be chuffed.

Some people would still complain about picture quality

Love Ellis.

Well our website is worse, the app doesn't get bothered with anymore and barely works, Hull FC TV has got massively worse, shirts have gone up in price but are no better quality..

Id say yes, of all the things improved marketing is a lot worse than before!!

So true

Damn swear filter

How is our website worse? We have articles pretty much every day, pass sales tracker, an improved online offer and upgraded shop website, good stats section. Please list the features would you like to see brought back from the halcyon days of Rule's website


Apart from the ability to watch every game and access the match day programme online, you mean? I agree that free to air content is probably reduced, but the online tv offer is much broader now.

No free content or highlights anymore and the quality of the pay content or tonight wouldn't be worth £1 let alone £50..

I'm not criticising everything, but media and marketing is nowhere near IMO and needs addressing!!

Well that was shatpank

Anything interesting said?

drat and double drat, i pulled a late one at work n only caught the final moments on-line, do you think there will be a play back option?

Wouldn't be surprised if they put it on the website in a couple of days they did last time.

They put a replay up on Live tv for the last forum

There are free interviews on the website, and free weekly highlights are covered by SLtv, so what's the point in providing this also? The club have added the full match coverage as an incremental offer with a price to try and drive up revenue. These things cost to make available at a time when overall revenue is down. Providing extra free coverage will not help the club's profitability, and upgrading the app costs.

Is that the old chap who always sits at the front ?

He certainly did tonight. As soon as I heard his voice I recognised it from the dreaded Blunderside moan-ins.

Not a bad night, the picture quality and sound was perfect from where I was sat, about 5 or 6 rows back.

Must admit to wondering if there would be a comment warning about questions regarding local paper stories of the last 24 hours but there wasn't any and nobody asked.

The entire panel was on terrific form and there was a huge positivity pouring out from each of them.

The set up at Bishop Burton got a lot of focus and Pearson stated they would be investing a lot to attract the best youngsters of the area to that facility. He also stated that Hull have the pick of the young talent coming through at the moment.

As head of Hull's media and marketing, James Clarke is a top geezer. He hosts these forums from the top table and is very good at it. If he ever decides to leave Hull FC, a future in stand up awaits.

(Oh, and he bought me a pint as well.)

so, having read the last three pages of this thread I know the picture quality was poor, some people are staring to see how inept the marketing side of the club is but not much else. The HDM tells me that we've offered Briscoe an "astronomical three year deal" which I am taking as code for "Briscoe is going, but we did try and keep him" (quite why we've offered him anything near "astranomical" is beyond me, but I am in the minority with that view I'd imagine)

what else was said?

on the comments page on an HDM article from yesterday some KR fans are passing comment about Pearson being worried about "talks between Hull City Council and the Allams" and that the "SMC agreement is a mill stone"...can someone enlighten those of us who didn't go or watch as to what was said..please?

Nothing really newsworthy came out , the most surprising thing was that no one at the club was aware of , had considered or had pointed out to Adam that the deadline on discounts for kids passes was too early even though they were scratching their heads wondering why kids passes hadn't sold as well as they had thought they would???????? There must be an argument for introducing another discount period across the board now to try to get to 9000.
