| I know many people who work for the club in areas from retail and lottery to senior management who have made sacrifices and worked over and above to help and support the club. It seems there are a few who seem to know a lot more than me on here, but I would just say this: how do you know Hull FC hasn't been up for sale for the last couple of years anyway?
It hasn't been officially advertised or offered for sale, but I know Adam would listen to offers, because after the length of time he has been here, with his age his health and his circumstances, he would be daft not to. However, the money is one thing, but his main motivation is ensuring the long term future of a club whose history and heritage he believes he has a duty to protect. we all want success and we have all witnessed a dramatic crash backwards since those great days of 2016 and 2017 However for me, however crap we are now, all I want is a club that I love, to exist after I don't!
New owner? well its a bloody frustrating time for all of us and another end of season farce and our moves in the transfer market so far hardly engender much hope do they? but be careful what you wish for because for me, owner wise we could do a lot worse!

| Quote: UllFC "One thing to keep an eye on, just read an interview with Tony Sutton explaining IMG will look to use attendances from stadium safety officers as well as looking at long term crowd data to suss out any fiddling.
Worrying for us as we count tickets sold whether people attend or non. I reckon there was in reality only 7k there on Sunday and if we don't buck out ideas up we can easily slip below the 7.5k points threshold'"
Don't all clubs do that?

I'm sure we'll be fine. The attendances have been poor for the last three games but just a bit of on field improvement and hopefully a bit more good news with regards recruitment and investment and the figures will rise again.

| Looking a tad more positive than 6 weeks ago.
Smith and Gene jettisoned
Mega experienced serious NRL head coach appointed
Gaz Ellis brought back
Marquee signing in
Quota spots being freed up
Obviously there's other less positive stuff (Hardaker for one) but if we keep bringing in players incrementally better than those here, add a sprinkling of quality like Asiata, and continue to develop the likes of Martin and Charles, the medium term outlook is definitely improved v 11th April.

I'm pretty sure that deal ended when the lease was renegotiated a few years back. There is never a large amount of empty seats in the west stand that could be these mythical ones
