Very succinct.

Me and others are allowed opinions like this as we stuck our hands in our pockets and supported rugby league when times weren't the best. And I had a brilliant time, even if we lost heavily I would have a great time watching professional rugby league in the South while these people were sat at home doing nothing. Screw them.

so listy you would rather the team folded than initing folk back
Please if that is your opinion bugger off
I would prefer any supporter as long as the team survive

The difference with all the other teams is that all their fans are born into to the team they support - it is not a conscious decision, only black sheep support other sides. In London it is a question of choice, either you do or you don't, there is no social pressure to do so, in fact the opposite. That is where Rob Purdham's 'fickle' comment came from. Up north if a team is doing badly the fans protest, here they tend to walk away. This is another reason why this club has to try harder.

Thats not quite true mate.Some ,like me, make a concious decision to follow a certain team.I wasn`t even born in the same county as Hull.

No team will ever be sustainable if followed by supporters who decide to clear off when things aren't quite to their liking, and then post bizarre threads asking for reasons for them to come back, like their support is of any importance. Energy and resources should be spent on encouraging new supporters to watch and support the club, not pandering towards deserters.

well said i stood with 1200 other rovers fans during the bad times of my club but ask anyone in the 8500 crowd now and they will all say yeah i always used to come but the figures dont quite add up
