| I am not if Agar is still in charge. For the first time ever this season the excitement of going to the game has gone. I travel from Sheffield and it's just too much now when the buzz has gone. That is due to the false promises of the past four years. I can see only 6000 renewing next year. It is the only way they will know that the fans have finally had enough of blindly following Hull FC. I may renew if I lived in Hull but how are the club ever going to expand the fan base with the current product? The problem now is they have missed the trick on capitalising on the success of 05 and 06 and those chance don’t come around often if you look at the history of success at our club. Not renewing my pass is the only protest I can see being effective. I hope the whole coaching staff are removed, a complete overhaul is needed to get rid of the current culture. The rumour I’m getting though is that Agar has been assured he will be able to see out his current contract by Mr Pearson.

| Pearson is a money man. He knows the only way to increase the club's (and his) income is to increase attendances. If pass sales are down on this year he'll soon work out why. The only problem is that the end of the discount period is the New Year when we are only weeks away from the start of the season.
As has been suggested e-mail the club or even write by snail mail to him personally. He needs to get the message. FWIW I can't believe anyone would dare intercept his post or e-mails.
The only other thing we can do is make our feelings clear at the two remaining home games - at the end of the match of course.

| Quote: east hull FC fan "It's a false economy. I didn't renew my pass this year intending to just pick and choose my games. But whenever it was game night I couldn't bring myself to stay away and have now given the club a lot more than I would have with a pass.
I know it's exactly this that the club feed on, but I'm sorry, I love my club and will always support the team regardless of who's in charge. It's unconditional.'"
I understand that but for me as I live outside Hull if I don't get a pass I won't come at all due to the fuel costs aswell as match ticket prices.
If Agar is here in his current tole then I won't be.

It would be obvious to AP that 2011 pass sales were down on 2010, hence no announcement. He'll also be very aware of the current attitude of the fans toward Agar and he'd be a very stupid man indeed (which he isn't), not to read this forum. Even if it cost £100k to pay Agar off and we had to spend £200k on a new coach, compared to losing £500k in pass sales alone, it's a no-brainer

I could'nt find one either so just wrote to him at the KC. I've emailed a couple of times "for the attention of Adam Pearson" but doubt they will get passed on. Surely he must know he is flogging a dead horse with Agar, even Hudgell knows you have to have a decent coach!!

| Havent attended a home game, since Rule announced Agar's contract
extension on 1st April.
Will not go, until Agar is removed.
I hope Rule is not 'brainwashing' Pearson about how good 'Rich' is !!!!
Pearson has stated he wants crowds to improve,
they will go DOWN if Agar stays.
I have a nagging feeling Agar will stay , until sales of passes decrease.
If that is the case, it will be difficult to recruit a quality head coach, at that time.

| I wont be buying my pass for next season, I will however downgrade it for a Junior to retain my seat. I nearly did not get one for this season and the amount of home games I have attended means I have wasted money on this years pass (Although clawed it back through selling match vouchers).

| Mods,
How about a poll?
"Will you renew your season ticket if Agar stays?"

| Quote: ComeOnYouUll "I can only echo Standee's point. It's all very well posting on a message board but people need to contact the club directly.'"
Message boards, emails all futile imo. The only way AP will act is by looking at the balance sheet. There was still far too many buying shirts, hats etc at the start of this season to be noticed. But the signs are there for all to see without really investigating. 11700 for a Friday night match against Wigan. Pathetic! (Plus a derby match which did not sell out.)
That for me is at least 4000 down on what it potentially should have been. We should be competing for a top 4 place given our grade A status. That would get a crowd in and all the benefits of that. That's 4000 who haven't emailed the club, haven't written in they have simply walked away.
If things remain the same the period from November to February when I suspect most of the clubs non gate income is collected will be greatly reduced. Season passes, shirts etc will not be bought and that is the travesty of it all.
Now if AP chooses to ignore that and keep Agar and his coaching team then AP's £3m will be completely wasted and Kath and Co will be laughing loudest.

Polls are always spoilt by mischievous opposition fans.

| Well I am clearly in the minority who is going to renew then.
I think its time Agar moved on but tbh I would still go if Richard Madeley was in charge, let alone Richard Agar.

| Already done the email and written, but TBH the longer it goes on the less I feel anything is going to change regarding the coach for next season. My initial hope and optimism from the takeover by Pearson has now subsided and just have the feeling of here we go again.
Just hope Pearson announces soon the Agar will not be here come next season, only slight belief I have in that is that he has not as yet come out and stated one way or the other that Agar will be here so I'm hoping & praying he is replacing him at the end of the season.

Totally agree....I wrote to Rule in Feb this year outlining my prediction of how much revenue the club will lose in ticket sales if they maintained their support for Rich Agar. Just a standard response back thanking for me for my 'continued support'.
As I live in Leeds, I didn't renew my season pass for this year, and if Agar is still at the helm I certainly won't be next year....as sad as that is. Away games are easier for me to get too and I probably enjoy them more anyway. In my opinion the atmosphere at the KC for the few games I've attended this year has been awful....not worth a 140 mile round trip after a long week at work....people just sat there, resigned to their fate....at least now with a new owner it's not as helpless a situation as we were faced with.
Come on AP.....do the maths

| I'll be getting a pass next year having not had one this year.By the end of the season I'll have spent double on match tickets to what a pass would have cost, so it really has been a false economy for me.
