They'd see that the writing was on the wall though? Pass sales this year down on last year, now some of those that did buy a pass aren't even bothering to attend. The board would realise that pass sales were likely to drop even more significantly next season, I'm not convinced they'd just think 'sod it, this season's money is already in the bank'.

I'm not convinced that treating fellow supporters with contempt just for being a supporter adds anything to your argument TBH.
Makes you look childish and petulant in fact.

A boycott Friday night is not about money! its to make a point, a principle! to make the powers that be realise we have had enough, that if things continue the way they are they will be staring at those empty seats for years to come, but like i said it wont happen as there are too many of you bleating ' ive paid so why shouldnt i use it',

I'm from Yorkshire mate - £38 per game (for a gold pass) is not something I can afford to spend and then not use, so I'll still be going.
We're only 3 games into the season, so maybe the board ARE thinking "lets just count this years money at the moment".

I am not contemptuous of fellow supporters!!
But if we want change we all need to stick together, we ALL want our club to be successful.
As for been childish and petulant, i think the attitude of 'I have paid for my pass so i am going to use it' is a little more petulant, even though sacrificing one game may make the difference and make the board sit up and do something.

Like I said, I can't afford to not use something I've paid for. Besides, I've just spent £100 on shopping and put it all back on the shelves.

Would you eat rotten food just because you'd bought it?

| Well I'll be there, friendlies aside it's my first game of the year and I'm actually quite looking forward to it. However I guess the fact that I love rugby league and want to spend my Friday night watching the team I support makes me a sheep.
I have been watching Hull since I was 6 years old, and will still be supporting them on the day I die. The Agar thing will take it's course and whether it takes a week or several years for him to go it will just be another chapter in our long history. So in the mean time I will concentrate my efforts on supporting the boys and hoping they can turn it around rather than acting like a petulant child.

Can some one clarify for me, when the club announce the attendence is the figure given, just the one recorded via the turnstiles or is it the 'pay @ the gate figure plus the number of season ticket holders? The reason for this question is apart from the empty seats how will the 'penny drop'.

If wanting our club to be succsesful makes me petulant then fair enough. But please tell me, i would love to know, how as a fan can you get your message across to the club that you are not happy with the way 'our' club is been run, managed, coached??
We cant put up banners because that may 'upset the players and put them off'.
We cant boycott a game because that makes us petulant children.
So please enlighten me!!
