| Quote Offy="Offy"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?'"
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.

| Quote Isaiah="Isaiah"We could just throw white towels or some club shirts, shorts, etc, on to the pitch, after a home game.'"
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.

| So why dont we boycott the next home game of sorts?
Either go in at half time and stay out until then or at half time walk out and make our feelings felt at the main entrance of the stadium?
or better yet a complete boycott of the game?

| A boycott might work but it has to be organised and tied to realistic demands. Fans should decide what they want in the short term, then organise a petition of people who agree with those demands followed by a boycott if the club's response is deemed inadequate.
The cup game against Cas offers a good line-in-the-sand as it is the most threatening to the club in terms of lost revenue.
I'm undecided that this is the right approach as it would be hard for me to hurt the club I love. However, we've given Radford a good chance to show improvement and he has failed. The performances we have seen this year are far more damaging to the club than sabotaging a cup fixture could be.

| I will put my hands up and admit I am a" any kind of weather supporter"but feel aggrieved that because of that loyalty I will accept anything.Like many others i spend a shed load of money following Fc in the way of passes ,merchandise and every away game, and that's not just for me its a family of four.What we watched on Friday was pure dross and make no mistake I have let my feeling known.What I will not do is walk away from the Club I have followed for over 50yrs.I fully agree something has to be done and quick or the pay on the day fans will stay away and the Club can ill afford that.Its been said that Pearson is only in it for his back pocket ? Its cost him a small fortune so far and he will have got nothing back so how on earth fans think he is making money from the club is beyond me.The way forward in my view is for Pearson to meet with some fans and listen to what they have to say and for him to explain why it looks as if he is not bothered,this needs to be done in a balanced way and not threats because I doubt he would do anything if blackmailed with walk outs,ect.What the need is fans to stay loyal but the club need to show they care what the fans want.

| Quote GM1="GM1"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.'"
Maybe he's in it for his ego but surely not for money. There are so many better things that he could do with his money that would be better than buying a SL club including setting fire to £20 notes , it doesn't carry as much stress. Whatever the reason for his intransigence on Radford and his badly flawed club hull idea I really don't think it's him trying to make money. In fact looking across the piece as has been alluded to it's more likely to be that he underestimated how much investment it would take , took some bad advice and is now running out of funds.

| Quote Eton Street Rifle="Eton Street Rifle"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?'"
The best way for fans to voice their concerns would be to take out a large or even full page advert space in the Hull daily Mail.
I don't know how much that would cost but if we had a campaign it could be paid for by the fans on here.
By using the HDM it would be picked up by local radio,internet,and more important as Humberside is a BBC radio station it would definitely make news on the TV.

| I like the HDM article and would certainly contribute if it were to be organised.
I don't think a boycott of a cup game would have any effect at all as it could be argued that the low crowd figure was down to general apathy towards the cup.
For me not attending the next home game en mass against Salford would be more appropriate and send out a short sharp shock to the management.
Yes it's not nice hurting the club we love but it would be akin to pulling off a plaster quickly then hopefully instead of just continue to linger from one disaster to another losing fans along the way Pearson must be forced to act.
I certainly will not be attending until this debacle ends. Yes it initially hurts not going but then that hurt turns to general apathy so I would urge the disgruntled mass to do likewise and hopefully this hurt will prolong no longer just think of doing it as being for the greater good.
I will also be e-mailing Adam again to get his thoughts now.

| I think people on here tend to forget that a only a tiny percentage of the supporter base read this.
Trying to organise a boycott is laughable.
