from James Rule after I contacted the club thru the Tell Us option

"Thank you for taking the time for contacting ‘Tell Us’ with your email, the thoughts and feedback of our fan base is always appreciated by everybody here at the club.

Sport is full of opinions and that is why it stimulates so much debate. At any given moment in time you will find thousands of different opinions relating to all aspects of our club both on and off the field of play within the Hull FC fan base. We are lucky to have such a large and passionate supporter base and it goes without saying that everybody within our fan base is entitled to their opinion. However I hope you will appreciate that in my capacity as Chief Executive it would be unprofessional and disrespectful to engage in public debate, analysis or criticism of individuals performances whether that is a coach, member of staff or a player.

I can assure you that everybody connected with the club is united in the pursuit of common objective, a successful club both on and off the field. At times that pursuit will face adversity, challenges and hurdles but as a united group we will seek to overcome them. I acknowledge that our fans will always be frustrated when we lose and that same sentiment is shared by our players and coaches, Directors and staff of Hull FC. However whilst not wishing to sound clichéd each Super League season is a long campaign and all teams will be judged on where they finish in the league not where they begin.


As a board we believe that Richard Agar is the man to lead the team . You may disagree with that belief and are entitled to your view but I would ask that you continue to play your invaluable role as the 18th man supporting the players and coaches as we strive for success on the field of play. Our players and coaches have gone on record on many occasions thanking and recognizing the tremendous support of our fan base. Once again it has been apparent in each of our three games this season and was particularly vocal in our last away match at Huddersfield. It is very much appreciated, you can (and do) make the difference and help us get the first points of this campaign on the board on Friday.

Thank you for your continued support."


Regards


James

Anyone else receive anything similar?

In other words, Agar's the coach, live with it

I think u are the not alone in receiving that copy & paste reply!

We all got the same

As said on another thread, if people ask the same questions they shouldn't be surprised when they receive the same answer.

[iI would ask that you continue to play your invaluable role as the 18th man[/i

Is that like Agars 17th man, sit on your aris watching the game for 80 minutes?

Its a standard reply thats sent out for nearly every question

What was your mail to them ??

He's hardly going to write out a bespoke response to everyone asking the same question. Don't waste your time emailing him, they're not interested in anything negative. Try the call a director line. It's hilarious. I was convinced I was talking to a tape recorded message as he just kept saying the same thing over and over about agar. They're not interested in your opinion, only your money

He was aksing why the beer tastes like piiss and costs more than it does in central london

We need to compose one letter and everyone cut and paste it into the club

You never did? Why?

Bored one night so I thought I'd try it out.
