Not having a pop but wanting the team you support to lose just to help get rid of the coach....Get real.There are other ways and means.

How can a pass be sold "at a loss"

Unless they were sold below the cost to print them, whats that? about £2?

You were having a bit of a pop mate. I'm not going to go into this again cos it's been done on other threads but it's not as if I'm rooting for our opposition. All I'll say is to think about what is better for the long-term future of the club, beating Crusaders on Friday and buying Agar more time, or losing to them and the potential to force change that that has. It's just pragmatism and you don't have to agree with it, but it's far from unreasonable.

Agar is going to get sacked some time this season but it looks like it will be later rather than sooner and until then I'd like us to pick up as many points as possible.

I thought i read somewhere they were losing money on them and when you consider they sold over 10k at £60 it could well be classed as a loss as they rely on the money from those to pay other things. So technically you are correct they lost no money on the passes but in the big scheme they may have done.

It does however show how desperate a club can get after years of dismal performances and will do almost anything to get people back through the gates.

Probably a bit more than that once you add in costs of administration and distribution.

In practical terms, if their total income from passes this season is less than it was last season then they've been sold at a loss. That might be offset by increases in merchandising and/or food and drink sales if the extra passholders are people who didn't attend at all in previous seasons.

I understand your sentiments, if FC lose on Friday and Agar was sacked I doubt very few supporters would be too worried about the loss tbh, I know I certainly would not.

Huddersfield ran a similar thing the other year I believe.

That's the thing though, he isn't guaranteed to go at some point this season anyway, and every time we pick up points that gives the board more of an excuse to keep him. I think another 2 or 3 defeats now and it will bring the situation to a head, then we have an opportunity to bring in a proper coach (whether we appoint one or not is a different matter, I accept) and we could potentially reap the rewards at the end of the season.

Theirs was directly subsidised by Davy though, so they were guaranteed to at least break even on the deal.

I don't think he'll go before mid season regardless - unless we lose every single game between now and then. By which time our season will be dead anyway.

Oh right, suppose Bulls have no option though they need to get the supporters back, the way things are going I genuinely fear we could be another Bradford with 1000s of fans stopping going, especially in this financial market (Hope to god I am wrong though)...
Mind you it will be nice to be enticed back with a £60 season pass deal

I honestly think if we lost another 2/3 on the bounce he is gone.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one, things already got a bit nasty after a 3 game losing streak (6 if you count last season). If we lost to Crusaders and Wakey at home either side of the Wigan game the board would be forced to act IMO.

id give him the chop if we lose on friday...we wont beat wigan either..so thats 8 games without a win... can anyone remeber who we last beat?

It was Crusaders at home thanks to that dodgy last minute penalty kicked by Tickle.







On the 13th of August

Crusaders I think or was it the Dobbins...that long ago I have forgot

Fantastic Kick though

At least if we lose this one Agar can't use the old 'nevermind cos we lost this one last year' chestnut.

i agree with holt heres a song 4 those atending on friday see if you can fill in the blank. wer black wer white we know that agars ----- wer hull fc wer hull fc.

Ah but he can say we lost on their ground last year, so we know they are capable of beating us chestnut.

Or

"On their day they are up there amongst the best in super league"

or

"With Long/Meley out injured and with Tansey/Berro leaving late and no full back we were always going to struggle tonight"

or

" Their halfbacks kicked us to death and that was the difference between the teams"

buy one ticket get twelve free

That would be a nightmare, where would you find 12 people who wanted to go

you forgot about the uprising in libya,the earthquake in nz or did man really land on the moon

Just think if we beat crusaders by more than a couple of points

Agar could state our performances are up on last year
