Are you sure that was not how many we're left. We sold 1500 on the first day. I can't believe we've only sold 1000 in 4 days

I am not telling you what to do, that's your business, but if you feel the team is in a worse position now than it was under Agar, I'd fully disagree with you.'"
Good post my position also.

| I've got my tickets direct from the RFL, not a passholder and I don't live in Hull so it made more sense. I suspect others have done the same, hence the club have 'only' sold 2500?
There'll be a decent turnout, and as bad as we've been I'm reluctant to miss this game. Games like this, the team needs all the support it can get, it's no time to lose faith.

No need to wait. Pass holders could buy extra tickets.

| Quote: UllFC "After 5 seasons of hype and little to show for it, I really am at that stage of being apathetic about it all.
Been a pass-holder for many years, and I could accept it if we were struggling through lack of funds, injuries, bad ref decisions, events off the field etc but I can't accept the in-consistent effort and lack of ideas from a group of players & coaches who are some of the highest paid in this clubs history.
i've enjoyed a handful of games this season, the rest have been forgettable or a chore to watch. Its sad to say but I feel like I'm drifting away from the club and the game.
I don't expect us to win every game, in fact the defeat to Wigan was one of the highlights of the season for me, for the fantastic rugby on display from both teams...but at the end of the day Rugby League is entertainment, and I haven't felt consistently entertained for many seasons now.
I have my ticket for Sunday, and I'll be getting behind the team and hope we can pull something out the bag and get to Wembley...but it really is becoming 'last chance saloon' for them to turn my opinion round before the end of the season and convince me to buy a Pass for next year. And I don't think I am the only fan thinking like that.'"
Pretty much how I feel.

Not sure but I doubt that many!

there was still hype under Agar, the 2010 season for example was hyped up with the arrivals of Long, O'Meley & Fitzgibbon...and for a while we looked to be improving, before slipping back to our mid-table mediocrity. There's only so many times the club can play the 'new coach, new players, new era' card...I think they've heaped pressure on themselves with the constant 'top4' comments.
yes recent games have been close, but I think that says it all about the standard of SL this year that we can play so poorly and play such uninspired rugby and still be in with a shot of winning games. I have found a lot of SL games uninteresting this year, not just HullFC ones, and I hope the changes to the league (whatever option they decide on) helps change this.
I don't think the current situation is worse than the Agar era, it is slightly better...but at the same time almost 2 years after his departure I would have expected us to have improved more than we have done.

| I've seen much worse Hull sides and many worse times as a supporter of over 35 years. What I haven't seen before is a club who have everything in place to be challenging for the top 4 but who consistently under perform. It's getting to the point where I actually don't want to go to matches any more

^^This^^
I sat through the dire 1999 season, but even though we were shocking, we had no cash, few decent players...a crumbling ground and you could understand why we were in the situation we were in, now they have everything in place but manage to cock it up every other game.

I think one of the problems with game quality has been how the game has evolved. Its now even more important to be big, strong and fast. Its almost as though the skill factor has become a secondary requirement. Due to the pace of the game, errors become more frequent and hence the games become fragmented.
I also thing the media have some questions to answer about the perception of the game. Take last nights St's v Wigan game. Great game to watch, but there were as many errors in that game as there were in the Cat v Hull cup game. Yet Eddie and Stevo put the ball spilling down to high impact tackling when certain teams are involved.
Every team has injuries, but Hull have been affected in key areas more than most for several years now.
Hull FC are a decent side, unfortunately we are very inconsistent. For every Warrington away / Leeds at home performance, there is a Wakey at home or a Cas away display. Is this the fault of the coach or the players?
Many of us are frustrated, but I don't see how choosing not to attend helps out. I am of the opinion that players should be afforded praise when things are going well, but they should also know that we, as fans, are unhappy with below par performances when they have shown they can play better.
