Quote: Ian P "We have had a lot worse in the last forty years ............
Back then it was a shortage of money/fans thats not the problem now is it.
We had a long period of false dawns under the last administration, too much jam tomorrow and when they left and AP took over we all got a renewed faith in the future. Trouble was we had a few recruitment mess ups, a management clearly out of its depth at just about every level. Most of us can see the main problem and have little faith left in anyone's ability to improve the situation. We lurch from one home goal to the next, players leaving and others coming in on far to regular basis, no stability and players seem to fall in and out of favour for no apparent logical reason.
This club has one chance left for next seasons pass sales, a storming end run in the super 8s and/or sack the coach and get in someone who knows how to coach and manage, media and command respect amongst the fans.
Because I can thousands walking away on a regular basis from buying a season pass, many like me will continue to attend and not attend if it gets like it has/is. Once these people start staying away a slide down is almost unavoidable, some may blame those fans for staying away. At the end of the day too many things have pulls on people entertainment money and Rugby League is slowly strangling itself. The games future is bleak, SKY viewing figures are dropping , crowds are dropping and the whole game from the kids upwards is dying.'"
Yep, totally right Ian.
But let's look on the bright side. We have a club. We play in a beautiful stadium. We have young players excited and motivated to play for FC. We have genuine World Class players signing next year. We have the most passionate fans in the game and, most importantly, we are Hull FC....unique and with 150 years history. We have had difficult periods in the recent past but this isn't on par the depths of the pat.
Frank Pritchard or Shane Endacott?! Rob Danby or Mahe Fonua?
People need to bang their head against a wall and remember where we are now.
