I cant believe for one minute some "fc fans" actually base renewing their season pass on who we sign, what ever team we have put i will always renew my pass how are we suppose to get bigger gates when we have fans not renewing because we are signing con mika or feka?? Fc til i die simple as and i think a few on here need to take that moto and use it.

Well that was worth its own thread.

if fans feel these players wont improve the clubs performance or position, why should they pay good money on passes?

My opinion is support your team no matter, i would never not get a season pass because im hull fc and always will be, and thats not sat at home but actually sat in the east stand and as for players not improving our team well we shall see next season, going o/t a little who was brett ferres before this season?? He did nowt at wakey or cas, and now look at him at hudds, u never know on these players do ya?

Not all ‘fans’ are ‘supporters’

A supporter will try and support when support is most needed…. IAKOW

Support is difficult when like the last board, they just took the pi$$, but (imho) Person deserves all the patience and support he can get.

I think a lot of people are just fed up with the whole club. I know people who have been massive supporters, travelling to many away games and being pass holders for years who have decided not to renew for 2014

AP should put an offer on for reduced season passes after round 3 (as in reduced further than the missed game(s)) for all these sorts of fans that will inevitably come crawling back

i shall be traveling down from jockland tomorrow,to renew my pass for 2014,but a lot depends on how we go next season,will be the decider if i renew for 2015,or just travel down for specific games.

IF big IF what the Mail says is true, putting those 3 untried coaches in charge, not only will I not renew my passes, I will stop supporting my team after over 50 years!!

Pi$$ poor recruitment and Radford as head coach was enough for me but now Cooke, of all people, looks like he'll be back on the club's payroll!!!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!


No pass renewal for me thanks AP.

I think some of the "true fans" need to accept that not everyone is in the fortunate position of being able to blindly hand money over to support our club. Support comes in many forms not just sat on the terraces.
As I have watched the club for many years my circumstances have changed. Initially as a kid, my attendance relied on my parents taking me. Then as a student my attendance was almost guaranteed as my income was spent on FC, Beer and girlfriends ideally all together. Then as a working man I budgeted to watch the team all the time. Now as a family man, my priorities have changed. I have to provide for my loved ones. If I don't feel that the £100+ a game it costs to watch Hull FC can be justified week in week out does that make me less of a fan?
Maybe I miss one or two games so that I can afford to kit the kids out in FC gear? Maybe I miss one or two games simply to feed the kids. Maybe I miss one or two games because my car failed its MOT. The car I need to get to work in order to afford to go and watch Hull FC. Maybe I miss one or two games simply because I don't enjoy the product on the pitch that has cost me a small fortune to watch.
We all have various reasons for supporting Hull FC. We all have various reasons for not attending every game like "true fans". I admire all who go week in week out. I have been there before. But circumstances change so stop with the "I'm a better fan than you because......" bulls41t and accept that we all love the club in our own special individual way.

There are plenty like me who get a pass mainly to keep the seat. I miss 4 or more games on my season pass each year making it a money losing "luxury" item. If Radford is the next coach I wont renew but I will get to the odd game instead.

Well Said Good post!

At the end of the day,all sports are in the entertainment business, if you're not entertained ,people dont go.
Coupled with austerity, people cant justify nor afford £200+ for a pass, if they arent getting value for money.

IF AP delivered a BIG name coach, supporters would realise a signal of intent from the club,this MIGHT convince fans to renew, or if he continues with an unproven head coach,I think he will be surprised by the fans reaction.

Everyone has their own choices to make and rightly so. I've bought mine as it's my way of supporting the club financially. Without financial support there is no club in my view so that's why I do it. In particular we have an owner who to me clearly wants to make this work so it's my small contribution to helping achieve that.

Obviously there's a stack of speculation around and not all of it will be true. If this new approach of recent ex players running the show comes to fruition and actually starts to bear fruit as it has at other clubs I hope that those who are rubbishing the possibility of it working come back and support the club. If it fails then it fails - we're only really back where we are now. It's a different approach to solve a long running problem. Worth a try in my view.
