| Quote ="Bombed Out"You are so dramatic yourself.
In the scheme of things does it actually matter if they choose to post or not regardless of what was said previously at another point in time when emotions were running high.
This forum is for everyone not just for the likes of you and your ilk.
We are performing well, playing largely entertaining rugby and mostly winning.
Why can't we just all get along and enjoy our current form without continued infighting, nitpicking and dragging up old pointless posts?'"
Are you enjoying our current form? You've posted nothing for five weeks whilst we've been winning, yet had so much to say after the Widnes defeat. Just an observation, could be argued a bit disproportionate. I don't think I've told anyone what to post, have I? If you're going to be as provocative as starting a thread on the death of the club and the end of your support for it, you should be able to take it in good part when you do a 180 IMO. Look how you slated me for suggesting we gave Radford some credit in the early part of the season. You overdid it accusing me of "gushing praise" (which you were called out on by others) but so what? Turning out OK so far which I'm sure we're all pleased about.

"As I've put in another thread, the club served up overhyped dross for most of a decade, and I have no regrets giving any criticism. This season has been a pleasant surprise with fantastic effort and good rugby, and I have posted several positive posts. Now is the time for the club and fans to unite and grow, not stand bickering over the mistakes of 2008-2015."
I believe contrary to this. A successful club will thrive on it's own. The time for the "club and fans to unite and grow" is in times of woe when a club needs it's fan base to stay loyal and be patient!! Granted it was difficult at times but you dont just throw in the towel and do one!

Except despite not getting a pass I've attended all but two home games this year (which is about normal even when I have a pass due to holidays and other commitments) so the clubs still had my money. I've just ceased blindly giving them hundreds of pounds up front every September without knowing what the standard of entertainment on offer will be.
If the club puts on entertaining rugby (note I haven't stated they need to win, I'd class losing/drawing a tight end to end game as a good effort and a good night out) I'll show up for the next game, if it's boring dross (see 2014, the dead rubber end to last season, the entire Agar era...) I won't. Over time our form and better rugby might generate enough goodwill to convince me to become a passholder again, signs are promising so far I've enjoyed this season more than any other since 2006 or 2007.

| My problem with this is, it appears now you can't have an opinion just incase you're wrong. I was still pro Radford but understood those sceptical of him. There's nothing wrong with being wrong. Odds suggested we shouldn't be where we are now. But that's sport! Time to come together.

I see what you are saying but there is a difference between having a valid opinion, which ever side of the fence it sits and being over sensationalistic.
Its as though some had never experienced Tony Gordon, Peter Walsh and David Lloyd.
Petitions to have the coach removed, apart from being utterly pointless, it screamed out spitefulness. Using phases like "terminal decline" and "overhyped dross" show a high level of shortsightedness. This presenting information on here as fact when it was actually unsubstantiated or merely that persons opinion didn't help certain individuals.
Its as though the comments from Pearson when Radford was appointed regarding clearing the decks of those on large, unwarranted contract and the fact it was going to take a number of years to sort this were ignored by some.
Its fans who set their own expectation levels, but if the words of the man in charge had been listened to , those levels should have been realistic fro the off.

I'd forgotten the gloom and doom finance report from the resident economic expert! Yet that'll be brushed under the carpet and it'll just be me and a few other 'not in the crew' posters that get called negative and sensationalist

So you're saying that anyone who doesn't find fault (justified or otherwise) is a sheep. What a charmer you are!!

No, I'm saying people like him who very rarely as an opinion of his own and just agree with the most favourable posts are sheep. I apologise, saying 1 off many was pretty ott. I meant just him ha

Never said otherwise. When do Sammut and Marshall arrive?
A couple of points. I guess we'll have some more clarity on the financials when the accounts are filed. Hopefully the news will be positive and the going concern note to the accounts will no longer be needed. Secondly, it looks like more of the lapsed passholders have been seduced back to the club by our rather excellent first half of the season. This is fantastic news and could scarcely have been anticipated. I couldn't be happier right now if Mark Minichiello turned up with a jug of Pimms and said he needed his hamstrings sorting out.

| Still think it's touch and go on the clubs finances. Can't see how half a season of improvement will mean we're out of the woods yet.
I've been critical of LR in the past, but he's given me a team that is full of heart and good to watch. I'll happily eat humble pie though and admit I'm wrong.
Does that make me a happy clapper?

A good cup run would be very helpful. It's great that the core fanbase has been re-energised, but the challenge is bringing back another couple of thousand fans to support what the club is doing. If we can maintain performance levels over the next month and win against Catalans, hopefully there'll be some decent crowds for the business end of the year, and more merchandise that goes with it.

I know for sure that
a/ because of our performances we will have seen people attend that otherwise wouldn't have - so we are currently in a better position that could probably have been expected
b/ Idiot Allam and his lunatic concession scrap is going to see more fans attend FC. Even if it's a couple of hundred.

So far Hull City have sold just under 10,000 memberships for next season. That's two thousand down as it stands on the Championship season just gone.

Unsurprising. However, the bandwagon element will no doubt see this figure beaten. That's not in any way meant to be a slight.
I know 3 people who take their boy to City now but are all coming to Fc next season (2 of the adults still going to City).
The best thing is that the decision in 2 cases are that of the young lads that find the games at City boring but have enjoyed the rugby

Mrs B does have her own opinions, you don't. Big decision coming up, in or out of EU. Let me guess, you don't know?
