I think they said it will be on fclive as a free video/podcast.

If the stayaway (apart from going to Wembley) supporters are waiting for a successful club they might find the club disappears before they see it.

I understand people's frustrations and impatience but the club need to be backed in numbers now.

The idea that a move to Sundays would improve attendances is a complete red herring.

This year we played Widnes and Wakefield on Sundays and got 10,306 and 10,088 respectively.

In 2012 we switched to Sunday games and our average attendance dropped about 5% compared to 2011. Only the opening game against Warrington drew more than 12,000 apart from the Good Friday derby.

Most of our big attendances (aside from the 19k against Bradford in 2003) have been Friday night games.

There are arguments both ways, of course. Some will always want Sunday fixtures, some (me included) Fridays. There are far more things for people to do on a Sunday compared to, say, twenty years ago. Especially people with children.

"In any kind of weather" unless we are losing. How anyone can call Pearson is beyond me. He is not making threats he is stating the obvious. IMO whatever day/night we play some will not like it but what can he do either way he cannot win.Yes he wants fans to spend money without that we have no club its not rocket science ,do fans expect him to fund it all out his own pocket? for gods sake get real.What did fans want him to say ,"we are not selling passes but i dont really care" he is asking why?he wants whats best for the Club and unless fans buy into it then it will be the end,,rant over

I didn't get a chance to listen to the forum but here's my take on things. I think pearson's period in charge has been very much a mixed bag. I'm grateful for him coming in and effectively saving the club through significant amounts of his own money being pumped in. He has done some good things, including trying to improve the culture, improving player welfare and investing in facilities and youth development. He has also made some monumental mistakes during that time which have damaged the club significantly IMO.

The worst of these was misjudging his position with the allams whilst at city and crossing them in a way which we are still suffering for (And looking like it could get much worse). allam appears to be a man who holds a grudge and even worse, seems like he's prepared to be vindictive in achieving what he sees as redress against those who cross him. You only have to look at his treatment of city's fans who have dared to question his running of that club. I've said since allam's first rumblings over the stadium that it will end badly for us and I still hold to that opinion.

pearson has also made some major feck ups in running the club. Firstly in trusting mcrae, who seemed to have his own agenda in working with howes and his recruitment strategy, through to firing a coach who wasn't perfect but who had taken us to 2 top 6 finishes and a wembley final (Yes I know it was a disaster on the day and the huddersfield game was a shambles but you have to question why he'd "lost" the players by that point) and then appointing a very inexperienced coach who took us to our worst finish since the dark early days of agar's tenure.

Communication and marketing seem to have got much worse for me in the last 3 years. Every article I read on the website is poorly constructed and seems to be written in the style of a local radio presenter (Which is, perhaps, what it is). We've also have a situation where we have so few businesses involved with the club that there have been occassions where the circle restaurant hasn't even opened. This a is a far cry from when I used to go in there and the place was packed. Do we have any professional marketers at the club? For all his faults, rule was very good on the marketing front but things have declined since he left.

I have bought my pass and will continue to support the club but I can fully understand those who have made the decision not to after too many seasons of false hope .

Anyway, just y take and I'm sure there will be plenty ready to shoot me down

Is [url=http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Allam-Hull-City-Council-s-loss-control-running-KC/story-24139003-detail/story.htmlTHIS[/url allam saying it's his stadium and he can do what he wants with it or him firing the first shots in a legal battle against the council?

Exactly what I was going to say, we've tried Sunday rugby and it wasn't any better, and the club finds it easier to get Corporate fans in on a Friday night.

with people working ever different times and days in the modern world I don't think there's a perfect time/day for everyone to attend a game anymore. IMO the biggest factors in our crowds are our form/confidence in the team and whether the game is on SKY or not.

new floodlights?

also I'm not panicking about pass sales just yet, we're still to buy ours, as we still have a few weeks to retain our seat, and there was no real incentives to buy early this year.

Wigan and Leeds have played Friday night home games just about since the inception of SL. They have the top two averages and have no problem attracting new fans. Even in Wigans poorer seasons (2005-2008) they maintained high crowds. Leeds gates were already high before they won SL with Friday night games.

There have been plenty of good away followings over the years on Fridays. It's more just general RL fan apathy which stops a lot travelling. As an example, I live in West Yorks and know loads of Wakey fans, they would dream of going to Leeds or Bradford to watch their team. Crackers isn't it.

The key to increasing gates is a performing team. Of course that's asker said than done.

Makes me quite annoyed to read Pearson bleating on effectively blaming the fans for being fickle when in fact his rather large number of club feck ups have contributed to our current situation in a bigger way than the recession or the Allams.

Im sorry but I said ages ago that Pearson may be the worst thing that could of ever happen to this club and I stick with it. The guy has almost been clueless since the start and now he expects us all to carry on being blind sheep for another year or even two, well im sorry he needs to stop dreaming. Its his bad management of the whole club that's got us into our current predicament and nothing else

There is no doubt AP has made mistakes, mainly with his trust in certain people for recruitment and salaries handed out to players, but without him, this club would be in a far far worst state, he has put so much money into this club on and off the field, ask yourself who else in this City has the money or is would be willing to invest a few million into us?

There is no doubt that things need to improve on the pitch, but if he leaves I would really fear for the future of Hull FC.

I personally see nothing in wrong with what he is saying, if you want to see Hull spending a full cap and paying out 6 figure transfer fees on players then he needs to get the revenue from ticket sales, it is a two way street but with the money he has invested and improvements he has made to the club off the field do you not think he deserves our support?

On another note the HDM claims that our average attendance last season was 9662, this isn't correct is it?
