| And the magic shirts?? What a joke we run there...
Pre orders.. So don't get a chance to try one on or see it. Then when they eventually come in they don't have enough sizes so you couldn't actually buy one of you wanted to!!

Tbh i dont go looking at other shirts. The only one ive seen and touched (yak) is the rovers one and its made of tissue paper compared to ours which has plenty of weight to it. The Prescott away shirt is a great shirt imo
Looks wise im not a fan of the mgic shirt and afaik these are the last Lee Richardson designed shirts so we'll see how things fair next season with completly new designs and possibly a new manufacturer

| Quote ="FC Wembley 08"Every shirt I've seen is considerably better quality than ours, even those by the same manufacturer..
I can't give you exact figures but I'll tell you that I have always bought all 3. So there around £150 lost. I know at least 5 other people that feel exactly the same, so that's another £750.
So £900 in my circle of FC fans friends.
I have seen many people complaining about it and I spoke to the guy in advantage sport who said that he amazed how much business he's doing on NRL gear because Hull fans are coming in complaining about how bad FC's gear is that they're buying NRL gear.
I'd be pretty confident of saying £1000s in lost revenue. We are already selling out shirts off with massive discounts within a couple of months of the season starting... Our shirts have gone downhill year on year since AP took over.
It's more painful that it's our 150th year. We should have made a proper shirt that people are proud of that would last for years it as usual most won't see the season out!!!'"
So to be clear, you're saying overall shirt sales are down this year? I've bought three over the last four seasons, but bought both this year, first time I've ever done that.

Are you for real?
Based on a sample of six people you claim Hull are losing thousands of pounds? You've no idea how many people have bought shirts this season but didn't last season. As if the bloke in Advantage Sports is going to say his stock is poorer quality that a rival shop.
I've bought two shirts this year. I only got the home last season and in 2013 I didn't buy any (didn't like the Vs).

I was in the shop last weekend. Nothing at all wrong with the quality of the merchandise in there. The replica shirts are par for the course, and the training gear is very good - my wife bought two training tops. Some good offers as well.

Training tops are excellent. Never bought one before but pretty smart and really good for the gym.

Is this on topic? You're like the red and white clown from Northampton talking bollox about cleaning windowsills But undecided. Paid for four tickets and not missed a game so far including pre season friendlies.

Who did he listen to when deciding to sack Gentle well before he actually sacked him?

On your last point - do you seriously believe that anyone interested in buying the club would pay the tiniest bit of attention to the assorted ramblings posted on an internet message board? Or that Pearson even reads it?'"
If I was the owner or coach under fire at Hull Fc I would be looking at what supporters were saying.
Whether Pearson actually reads the messages himself I wouldn't know but you can bet someone at the club will be looking and passing the general comments on.

I can think of one person who by buying FC for a knock down price could achieve almost over night what he desires.......

IF overall shirt sales are down it'll be more to do with less people going to games (approx 2.5k less on average than 2010) more than anything. I have a lot to criticise the club for, but merchandise isn't one of them. I'm not a fan of the Magic shirt but the others look great this year and the club shop is always well stocked. Some other clubs don't even manage to get their shirts out in time for Xmas, people need to get some perspective.

| Any bad decisions Pearson makes (and yes there have been some) first and foremost hurt himself in a very real manner. So I very much doubt that he's going to deliberately go about losing chunks of his money if he can at all help it. There is no financial wizardry alone that can get him out of this mess, no assets to strip off like some spiv owners in other sports have so the only way he can get back the money is by improving the club and getting fans put their cash into it. That's good because if that isn't a big incentive to improve I don't know what is. Let's hope he is learning from his mistakes. Furthermore as the dobbin supporters always tell us he isn't a real supporter and only in for the cash - that is also good because the emotional part of the club should be with the fans and a cooler head is needed for the sometimes cruel but necessary decisions high level sport needs.
And to repeat to the moaners, who is a realistic alternative? Not that it would make much difference as they would be whinging about them in no time if it ever happened.

He seems to be taking a long time to learn,he had a bad experience with mcrae and co after taking their advice,but who advised him to sack gentle and hire radford,I cant imagine who it could be can you ?

Maybe. But Hudgell knows league, recruited Sandercock and has signed about 20 players who've left Rovers before their deal was up. I'm not saying Pearson's done well, but knowledge of the game doesn't guarantee good judgement.

| This statement could become a rod for his own back:
Quote ="Adam Pearson less than 2 months ago""I'll tell everyone now, if they think there is going to be a change in the head coach of the club this year, they are sadly mistaken. My heels are as dug in as you will find them.
"If anyone wants to put up a banner saying 'Radford Out' then bring it on because it is not going to happen."'"
