Quote: spegs "In 2005 with a mixture of youth and experience the club, against all expectations, beat arguably the three best teams in the country at the time to win the Challenge Cup.
The following year, despite losing the head coach, the team reach the Grand Final and the “big four” myth looks to be firmly dispelled as Hull are tipped for bigger and even better things.
Surely, after learning the lessons in the early nineties when ,after beating Widnes to win the Premiership, Hull and the shiny s in charge effectively disbanded that successful team, surely, not even Hull will make the same mistake again….
Well here we are at the start of 2009. The past two to three seasons we have hadalmost[/i papered over the cracks, [ialmost.[/i
In three years the team has gone so far backwards it is almost laughable. We go into a derby on Friday EXPECTING to lose as a result of the mismanagement both on and off the field. Yet still our average attendances are at a level most clubs can only dream about and the passion on the terraces continues, albeit fans are becoming more disgruntled at the current state of affairs.
We have a boy doing a man’s job in the most important role within the club – Chief Executive. A Marketing degree from Durham Uni enough to lead this great club into the future?…..I don’t think so.
With 5 minutes to go today I can honestly say I didn’t care as to whether we won or lost. I have shed more tears of joy and sadness watching this club over the years than I care to mention.
Today my apathy worried me….'"
Absolutely top post, my frustration and dissappointment are begining to get the better of me. I have already given my derby seat to my sons friend as i cannot bare to watch FC get stuffed on friday, it really hurts not to be there but it would hurt a lot more to watch them being humiliated.Its true Rovers day is coming at the expense of FC,s boring, poor quality team. I read the comments from Agar and Rule and honestly believe them utter tripe. The only way the board will learn is if supporters vote with their feet and pocket and leave empty stands at games, money is FC.s boards god not the passion and loyalty of the supporters.
