HAVE FAITH - no matter how misplaced you might perceive it to be.

Well I have renewed today but the reality is that I'm not going to be making anything like every game. I've uhmmed & ahhhed about it, crunched numbers etc and just bought one anyway. I hope they make it worth my while.

here we go again not renewing am renewing if so and so happens i will do over the season i've been a big critic of what's happened on the field.but look at the whole season top of the league,semi final in cup,goin to hull with a cat in hell's chance of winning,top 8 because of good early season.yes we fell away why we shall never know but for me i shall be renewing my £250+ season ticket. for me one more big prop in the next few days leave grix where he is eden scored his tries off his inside passes end of rant

Problem is people want and want now. Look how long it took Warrington to get where they are now-they got there eventually in part because the fans stuck with them. Hull have been trying a lot longer than us to raise themselves out of the "filler" and have just one piece of silverware to show. They are building a good team for next year- fans stuck by them. Those who are expecting overnight success are expecting too much. Three -four years is NOTHING. We won't get there without the true hardcore increasing-paying on the gate doesn't help the club, season tickets are SO important for the club to be able to plan.

I'm not going to dissect the season-done that already

I have been waiting 34 years hardly looking for instant success

Not talking about the diehards such as you Durham, Daz, meast etc- many others in here- those of us who remember the fartown days really do know the dark times! When youve waited that long-whats one more year! I mean the new ST holders who bought cheap and expected instantly.

Best Forward: Eorl 80 minutes Crabtree
Best new forward - Fairbanks - tackle machine for first 2 months.
Best Back/Half-back: Danny Brough
Best new signing:Greg Eden-great talent and looking forward to watching him develop with us - which will include errors too. Great topic for threads too. Think his dive vs wires (?) to keep a ball in play was tremendous - or was it Wigan at home.
Worst new signing: Scott Moore - what were we thinking ?
Best young player(u23): Big G or joe wardle - missed him when he was injured.
Favourite moment: Beating Leeds with 12 men and confirming that I had not imagined the first quarter of the season.
Worst moment: the 6 - 8 weeks were Nathan should have left earlier but hung around and claimed he had found the solution etc etc

overall opinion: - started well again but no plan B. Think a big moment was away at hkr when they showed everyone else how to beat us - just run your big guys down the centre and see how few props we really have.
Marks out of 10 for the season: 6/10

Season ticket renewed + jnr too.
Where else could we spend Sunday afternoons / friday nights / monday nights drinking over priced warm beer and eating chicken balti pies?
Roll on next season.

Those cheap tickets might come back to bite us on the ?! How much were the tickets when we came up from the NFP? Our tickets are still cheap, the only reason people are disappointed is because we have higher expectations now. We have some outstanding moments and they definitely represent value compared to other clubs, dont forget we still finished 7th, higher than half the other teams and i would bet our tickets were some of the cheapest. On top of this we are offered the pay monthly at 0% interest offer, cant go wrong, how many people pay £40/50 per month for a phone for 2 years, a season ticket will be this for 4 months and you get your weekly dose of rugby. Cant go wrong!
Saying this i know as much as anyone how hard the times are and how scarce money is, i just couldnt go a year without my fix of highs and lows of rugby.

'fro nips, there may be a 0% interest for the instalments option, but there is a £20 admin fee which if you're buying just one equates to over a 20% APR

At what stage does a season ticket become too expensive for you.
£200 ?
£300 ?
£500 ?

WITH MY PETROL COSTS AND SEASON TICKET the basic cost is £720 regardless of anything else. That almost equates to 2 months spending money.

I cannot justify that to see some of the crap i have had to witness. If i was convinced that i was going to be served something better than the rubbish i have had to put up with i maybe would make the sacrifice. The other option is that i will pick and choose my games

Some of us woman up!

In fact I think I've just put my finger on the problem...
