Ive dedicated 20 years of my life supporting hull fc, buying season passes shirts merchandise going to away games and now taking one of my 4 children to watch hull fc, costing me much much more.
Now, im at a point where I've never been before. That is seriously considering calling it quits unless things very very soon.

As things are, nothing is going to change if we always do the same, meaning turning up to games in our masses. Supporting the club that doesnt seem to care, that has lost its connection with us fans, lining the pockets of the hierarchy to watch something so poor its painful.
So should we as fans take action?
Should we as supporters make our true feelings in a way that will make the hierarchy really take note.
the way to do that is, imo not attend the next home game, stand outside the reception of the kc in our masses, sing/chant what we want, which is radford out?

I don't think there is really much we can do as supporters when the owner blatantly ignores us. I think the gate would have to drop massively before Pearson does anything so not turning up seems like the only real option.

definately not purchasing passes next season if the worst happens and we go down, sorry but this iakow poop has grown tired, our loyalty was asked this season and once again we have been short changed!


first real form of self protest is the warrington away game, will more than likely stay at home!


the sky deal would cover the loss in season pass sales next season

All AP is bothered about is his back pocket, he's a businessman after all. As long as the money keeps rolling in he'll sit tight and watch the club decline. I truely believe his only aim is to stay in SL, not make the 8 nor a GF, just stay as we are.

Once the money starts to dry up, he'll act. Like any businessman he'll have gone into this venture with a figure he is willing to lose. Where he is in relation to said figure is anyone's guess. Personally he must be doing ok as he'd have acted now.

I've heard people say Radford needs someone brought in to help him but I disagree, Pearson needs to bring in someone who can help him find a better coach

The fans can't do anything to change his mind on Radford atm apart from staying as far away from the KC as possible, once the money stops coming in, THEN he might act

Its no good just demonstrating. What's needed is the majority of fans to rally behind a strategic plan with a pre-defined goal. In my opinion (and that's all it is) as good supporters of the club, we need to demonstrate our dissatisfaction of the current way the club is being managed whilst still showing that we will support the team IAKOW. We need to organise ourselves, we need a ring leader. Personally, I do not have the self confidence, eloquence or charisma to lead such a campaign but I'm sure that the club has supporters who do. I would back a plan that begins with a written statement of our concerns and intent to Pearson and sees us:

Demonstrate our angst outside or on the concourse for the first 40 minutes of our next home game, then go in en mass singing our love for the club and support for the team just as the second half starts. This should show Pearson that we are prepared to support if he is prepared to lead, If there is no reaction from Pearson, we wait until the 60 minute mark at the second home game and demonstrate outside throughout the third game. At the very least this would re-galvanise us as a support base and might improve the morgue like atmosphere at home games when we do appear and gather.

Any potential Che Guevaras out there?

It's a nice idea, but it won't happen, there's still a significant amount of people deluded with the 'in any kind of weather' stuff the club drums in to us, there was still people clapping them off on Friday for example, a honestly don't know how bad it has to get for some of them.

Best option is a complete boycott of the Cas cup game, obviously pass holders don't have to go that one and the club only gets half the gate money anyhow. The sight of 20k+ empty seats would send a massive message to Pearson.

Don't think a boycott of a cup game will be noticed outside the local area. Even of it was held by most you'd still get 3k minimum which in the wider arena will be seen as ok for the cc.

Wire had a sit in a few years ago, that worked there bit to be fair their chairman is a lifelong fan

There are so many similarities between the James Lowes disaster at Warrington and the current Radford reign at FC.

A sit in would require the fans to have to put up with the entire game! Must have had enough by 45 minutes.

We could just throw white towels or some club shirts, shorts, etc, on to the pitch, after a home game.

I joined in the brief "radford out" chants in the east stand on Friday but there is so much apathy that it never got going but that kind of thing done long and regularly enough will make pearson at least start to think

Agree that a demonstration of some sort is needed.
Those who pay on the day could stay away from the next match.
I was thinking the pass holders go as normal seeing as we have already paid and say 10 minutes before half time walk out onto the concourse and don't return until 10 minutes after half time.
That way we can support our club but show both the players and AP what could happen if things don't improve.

The Real Madrid fans wave white hankercheifs when they aren't happy, though in the past they've been unhappy winning the league but not playing the style of football they want!

Overall I think the KC is just too big to get any real chants and protests going, so a boycott is still the best option. Does Pearson attend away games regularly? If so away games are perhaps a better option for chants, especially in the smaller grounds.

However low Radford takes the team he wont leave. I would def like to know why Pearson is keeping him because he is going to ruin Hull FC if he does. Is that really what he wants? I dont think Radford is bothered whatever happens but if he had anything about him he would step down and admit he cant handle it or ask for help. Im getting passed caring now. I wont be renewing my pass.
