I don't get how Ostick did not fess up or realise he might be cup tied. Sorry but that strikes me as a bit dumb, most fans know, the lads cost Fax some brass and all over a player who I didn't think improved the team anyhow.

The main question for me now is how do the club, players and crowd react to this? Hopefully with a thumping of Barrow and a galvanising atmosphere to kick things off!

sorry to hear this news your club has had some tough times, however can someone explain to me why when hull fielded an ineligable player they got a fine and were allowed to continue in the competition, and you guys get kicked out.

They wont fine Fax, they know quite well that most clubs are surviving on peanuts in the championship and any potential (hefty fine) could send the club under. A severe ticking off is what you will get, and no franchise sadly.

To ease the pain we'll take Royston Vasey, Scruffy Gleeson and Ben 'Pint' Black of your hands.

I think the gate at the next home game will show a significant reduction, even some hardcore fans are starting to say "... if the club are willing to treat the fans like this, with no formal statement... I may just give it a miss for a while..."

I will be there...

I agre MM, can't believe we did this, time and time again Fax shoot themselves in the foot after showing a glimpse of getting it right. I just feel deflated today, another wasted opportunity, theres some pounds been lost by the cup antics this season thats for sure.

Still annoyed, still want to know what went on within our club, but the matter has now been "dealt with" in regards to the game, so now lets move on & support the team. Afterall, maybe except for Ostick, it wasnt any of the players faults, they are who we support!

I think, in a nutshell, when Hull played Thackray, the RFL discovered they didnt have rules in place that specified what the punishment would be for the offence. (Par for the course for that joke of an organisation really)...but anyway Thackray hadnt played for another club in that years Challenge Cup, Hull just didnt file his registration properly...

since that incident, the RFL have put rules in place that ensure that clubs who offended are punished....

Just what we deserved, I just hope now our own review is not a wash out and we can finally start to tackle any rotten apples in our club, and remove any apathy that we owe anyone a living down there. Its about time cages were rattled and people were asked to move on, we have been an embarrassment for years now, my patience will not last much longer, there are other things we can all do on Sundays, but choose not to, Stop taking the P Fax, sort it out now!
MC and MH wont get it right for us, we need to face that now! before this shoddy affair staggers to the next crisis. Take a couple of the team with you too if they dont like it. Enough is dam well enough!

I'll be there to support the players, they have no blame in this whatsoever. Whether or not I'll dip in my pocket for the club so easily again is another matter.

I will certainly be there hoping for a positive performance v Barrow. I just hope that as a group of individuals, as a business that there has been a broad internal review and we at least learn from this instead of stumbling towards the next balls up. Professionalism must run through the core of the infrastructure and sadly it does not (currently) . . . . . . . Now is the time to change that!!

We have the excuse to refresh things . . . . . . . But will we?

i know what your saying but how many times can we keep saying it, i'm getting sick of it myself.

Do you frig, players come and go. It's the club you support.

Hopefully kicked out of the cup will be deemed as sufficient, financial penalties at our level could just about tip a club over the edge.
