I know.thats the fear for next week.i know as a fan base we are really been tested year after year but if people don't think the likes of mini,watts,Houghton deserve a show of appreciation for the effort they have put in this year and the likes of rankin and paea don't deserve a good send off that's a pretty sad show from the Faithfull . hopefully a good win on the cards and a positive note to finish and take into next year.

While I do agree with your sentiments, many fans (myself included) are simply fed-up with all things HullFC, our performances, the hype and no delivery each year, the academy merger, Radford as coach etc and it noticeable how many passholders who have been going for years are now frequently missing games. Last night to me was the same game we've seen on repeat nearly all season, 'decent effort, poor execution, game there for the taking...no points' so I can't blame the fans for just feeling apathetic about it all.

Next week is a must win to restore at least a bit of confidence, Catalan are pretty much useless away from home and you can't imagine some of their departing players will be busting a gut in a dead rubber game. So nothing less than a win is acceptable in my eyes.

Embarrassing sense of entitlement. We're a 6-9th-ish club with a fanbase that thinks because we had some success a decade ago we should accept nothing less than Top 4. We're in a group with Warrington and Catalans. That's realistically where we are. I agree that the lack of appreciation of effort on the field is poor.

Three Challenge Cup wins in 150 years and one Championship in the last fifty years and people moan that we miss the top four.

I do think there's a section of delusion and entitlement that's not merited. AP can say what he likes but let's remember the financial positions/benefactor backing at Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Warrington, Huddersfield. We're holding our own where we are in that context, Cas being the outliers.

I think you're missing the point made.
No one is expecting a top 4 finish or knocking the young kids and their effort but as ULLFC has said have become rather disillusioned with the inconsistent and familiar type performances which have predominantly been boring to watch under Radford and have simply lost faith in the coach.
I think last nights typical performance coupled with the last couple of seasons is what made people leave early and not entirely because they did not appreciate the younger players' effort (or at least I hope not).

I don't disagree that there's a cumulative effect here - four years of Agar wasn't dissimilar I actually think we've scored some expansive tries in the latter half of the season but our error rate and discipline has killed us rather than simply playing dour one-out rugby.

Nice shot of old and new local players

Going back 60 years in the Championship increases the number of wins to 3 and includes a period of 5 successive seasons when in the league we finished 4th, 2nd, 4th,7th and 3rd with 3 Championship finals. I don't think I will see a repeat of such a run as that again!

Why do you all keep mentioning "Faithful" and singing "in any kind of weather" when many are obviously not? I realise all teams lose support when they are not doing well but many of you seem to be in denial when talking about the quality of your support as though it were something special. In fact it is no better and in fact looking at the numbers leaving before the whistle when you lose in some instances much worse than some other teams. Your club song sets you up for a fall if you do not live up to the words that you sing so gustily in the good times when in the bad times.

Thanks for your interest in our club. How are the Wembley post match celebrations coming along?

Why don't you bob, bob, bob along
