| Quote ="Doom&Gloom Merchant"Hull FC are a sports club, not a typical business.
The club have supporters (you say that yourself, twice), not customers. There's a huge difference.
Nobody has ever said fans should "keep quiet". But turning your back on them and still expecting them to operate financially at the same level is ridiculous.'"
So supporters who buy passes, match tickets or merchandise from the club are not customers of a business? Seriously?
The club is having to cut costs because it is a business and there must be some correlation between income and expenditure.
If some supporters/customers are turning their back on the club/business its because they are unhappy with the standard of the product or service. The way to win them back is to improve that service, not just to appeal to their loyalty.
I'm not expecting the club to operate at the same financial level on reduced income, but I think its wrong to blame the supporters for the reduced income without looking at why some are staying away.

We have, that's why the most fervent whiners are taking a back seat of late.
Just wait until we lose the next 2 SL games and get knocked out of t'cup.

Depends on their circumstances ans reasons.
If they've stopped going for the resons Ian & Seb have stated, then they aren't fans IMO, how can they be?

| Quote ="Ian P"Where have I turned my back on the club ???
I have stated next season I will be going back to games I choose to go, when you remember the club left me not able to go in the switch to Fridays. I am simply returning and with different priorities developing within my family things have to change end off.
I have never stated selling Lineham is bad either, its good business when a club comes in and offers money ............
now get a life'"
Quote ="Ian P"This deal was done months ago and I did bring it up and was shouted down..........
Do not start blaming those who do no longer come to FC, those who are in charge are still to blame for what has gone before and what is to come. He was SOLD to Wire and he may have company in the taxi over to Cheshire, the club can put on what ever spin it likes.'"
Enjoy your time with your family.

| Funny how good players never seem to want to leave Wigan,Saints,Leeds etc.Are we just a feeder club now,soon as we bring a player through he is sold to the highest bidder.Thought our owner said this was going to stop.The worrying thing is who is going next,lots of rumours doing the rounds about other players on the move,how can you believe them when they deny it.Just the sort of thing you don't need to sell passes,what a shot in the foot by our ambitious club.

What can the club do if a player wants to leave? Keep a player who doesn't put his all in then, make him sit in the stands and waste a large chunk on the salary cap.
Wigan has lost a lot of there best players recently to the NRL and Union.

A winger has gone to Warrington.
Dismantleisation is a little excitable.

you stated £200k to come from Leeds, thats Houghton then, so 2 hookers gone, 1 dream team top scoring winger. Or second best forward gone. Believe the others and Shaul and Westerwoman have gone too, quite a hole

Currently 1 player has signed for another club and for a good fee, all the others mentioned are pure speculation at the moment.

I was being a little obtuse.
I was referring to another posters forecast.
The one who said the players wages were late.
