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 "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 "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


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.

Not trolling but why hurt the club by not turning up. A novel way would be to turn up in numbers but be completely silent for the game even when scoring.. Make it a library.

good point, imo those who want to stay away have every right to do so and us happy clappers as we are called have every right to go, make no mistake i have kicked every cat and dog there is since fri and i hope something changes soon, but at the moment staying away is not on my radar

Lets not forget there's the Hull sites on F/B & Twitter also , A co-ordinated approach across all forms of social media , Radio & local press would reach quite a lot of fans imo . We first have to nail the game & time the protests should take place the get it out there .

This is Hull , we all know how quickly rumors spread in this city .

There is no easy answer to all of this and those calling for a boycott or other action at the derision of some only do so out of frustration and the hope something will change for the better.

I'm not calling the IAKOW weather brigade here who clearly not happy will still attend anyway but how would you feel if the actions of a few changed the club for the better for the majority would you all still be willing to mock and call those who did something?
This is not solely directed at you but a genuine question for those of you on here.

am not mocking you as i partly agree with you, your right about one thing though there is no easy answer, but we all have a choice about whether we go or not,
