Before people start speculation etc

The worst thing about this is Hull on a Thursday night is a difficult place to get to from work.

People remember last seasons home match when we fielded an injury hit team full of youngsters and got soundly beaten.

The teams fielded in the two friendlies have been bereft of most of our overseas players and two most recent England internationals.

‘Don’t panic’ says Mr Stone predicting strong teams and a rare appearance by the elusive Tom Symonds whilst fielding Gene Ormsby one of the worst signings I have ever seen in C & G and trust me in 56 years I have seen quite a few.

We aren’t the biggest bunch of fans but at away grounds have made an awful lot of noise in support of our favourites.

Rumours abound, MRI scans, major players not playing in round 1 beyond the couple we actually know about etc etc but no factual information from the club whatsoever.

I have my season ticket but if I had to buy it right now I’d waver a bit because whilst I might care about the club no support is unequivocal as part of real hardline support is a regular interest in the club which it seems is totally ignored or the club attempts to assuage it with Stones ‘everything’s ship shape messages which at first you believe but now two friendlies in appear to be wide of the mark.

If the real hardcore supporters start to waiver then the club really is in a hole made all by itself.

I gave factual information from the club in my last post, apart from Leroy those are the current injuries and omissions from round 1, whether anything changes between now and then(10 days) remains to be seen but apart from those mentioned everyone else should be available for selection for Round 1.
Don't get what you want the club to tell us if there is nothing to tell??
