You promised and have now delivered

hopefully the fans that decided for whatever reason not to renew or decide not to come have a change of heart, he and the club deserve another chance

Hero

Changed the culture at the club. Backed radders when most others wanted change. Invested in future and set us up for a good decade. Nobody backed us for a treble this year...nobody. what more could we ask ?

I always go back to when he said quite clearly when Radford was appointed that he was giving him two years to make the team his. We had two mediocre years and then in year 3 everything has fallen into place. Guess he knew what he was talking about back then hahaha

Took him longer than planned due to his one error of appointing Shaun McRae, but yesterday he delivered on his promised to bring us success.

Very happy for him. He loves the club as do his family. We now need to push on and establish ourselves at the top of the game with continued success rather than the brief peak of 2005-2006.

Was he there today? I'm guessing he was but just couldn't see him at the end.

He was in the royal box (fnaar, fnaar) and he led the team out pre match. Really pleased for him, particularly the financial benefit which will take the pressure off

He led the team out and was in the royal box along from the trophy hugging all the players

You bet we do. He promised and now he's delivered. We now need to turn up in huge numbers every week to show our appreciation

Just shows how much attention I paid! I was a nervous wreck haha.



Great stuff. I was obviously too busy jumping around and dancing at the end to notice!

Legend.when everyone around you is losing their heads and you kept yours.thank you Adam

A massive thank you to Adam for delivering one of the greatest days of our lives yesterday and a memory that we will cherish forever.

I will fully confess that 18 months ago I had some serious doubts about where we were going, but since Easter last year the club's plans and strategy have been gaining ever quickening momentum until we find ourselves in this glorious weekend.

All credit to him for keeping his nerve and sticking to what he believed was right for our great club even when some of us couldn't quite see the light at the end of the tunnel.

In Adam We trust, you bet your life we do!

Quite right. So glad that he was right and I was wrong about Radders.

Pearson's been silent in the wings for a while. Hope this stupendous entry in the history books brings him out more. Always good to hear from Pearson. Financially, as well as emotionally, he deserves this triumph.

Heard him interviewed on Radio 5 Sportweek this morning. Such a disrespectful interview....couple of questions about the game and the rest of it devoted to questions about his football connections and specifically Hull City. Heard this happen before when they get somebody on re RL and proceed to ask questions about Union. He'd have had every right to just refuse to answer the questions and ask the interviewer to focus on the spectacle yesterday.

Really chuffed for him , Radford & the players .

And to think some wanted rid lol. Well done Adam

Got to give him credit for sticking to his guns amid much criticism. Its also been a lot better since he started to let the team do the talking and not resorting to hype in the media.

The job isnt completely done though, he needs to tempt the missing fans back and get some bigger sponsorship deals again for the club to be able to kick on and consistently compete at the top.

Has got a new big sponsorship on board this season, of this season doesn't tempt the missing fans back, then they will never come back. Was it 7000 passes this year? Should be aiming for nearly 10000 next year, I know of 7/8 who are getting passes next year who haven't had one for years.

On Pearson I've always stuck for him (although it's been tough at times), he has made mistakes, but without him I honestly believe we had potential to do a Bradford.

So Mr Pearson I thank you for saving our club and putting us on the road to success, nobody can doubt his motives and passion for this club, I hope you are here for many more years and we continue to get the success you deserve.

How much was the win yesterday worth to the club? Few hundred thousand?

I heard it mentioned that it was worth £250k to the runners up so i'd hope it was considerably more.

Cut of gate receipts, prize money, merchandise etc will probably net the club circa £250,000 (based on projections from the Warrington Chief Executive).

I think that's for the finalists, winner will get more (prize money,merchandise and ticket sales) all on the back of a cup win.

No matter happens on Friday, Wigan at home should easily be our highest non Derby attendance of the year.

It was £400k for a win in 2008 according to our CEO at the time.

In 2010, we averaged just under 14k. I get that some were disgruntled with Radford in his early years as a coach, but surely even these people must be won over by now? That there were over 25k hull supporters at Wembley, you'd like to think at least half of those would show for a home games.
