i was born and raised on Hessle road... but all joking asideI do feel terribly for those whom followed Pearsons war cry and bought their tickets to support his vision ...only to find Pearson needs contact lenses because his vision is far from 20 20

Stay classy Stan.... er Mr. Tomlinson.

Someone said sat near me last match, "what a sad day we have when we can see the chairman of HKR has got it all worked out for once and is looking across the city with a wide grin working out which players he wants when Hull go down"
That hurt because the truth hurts

I don't doubt his ambition, I just think he's not getting the right advice. Hopefully the situation can be rectified, fingers crossed.

I completely agree, I am sure he went into this wanting to walk out at wembley and enjoy all the trappings of success as much as players do, but his inability to show the fans he is reacting is worrying, I dont want Radford fired not for one minute, but i do think we need someone with experience brought in with him, Love him or hate him Noble knows radford inside out so would know how to guide him, the NRL isnt the answer in my book but there are people we should be talking to,
Also again I have to say the undercard on the bill is just shocking for a club with ambition dont you agree???
Cmon, Horne is not the answer for this , There is so many good people out there surely with much more experience who would love a crack at a job as big as hull FC, and below Horne well the list is silly to be honest
the more i think of our undercard "experience" the more i can clearly see the issue

Also please understand i am not saying Radford and Horne were not great clubmen, that much is certain but as coaches on occasion one comes along that simply has the goods already and it clicks for them like Anderson etc but if truth be known working their apprenticeship under a good coach has to be the way forwards, but what is say Horne learning from radford??? sweet FA
FC is quick becoming a job for the boys scenario isnt it ..... whats next Yeaman as conditioner

being loyal clubmen is one thing, I could be a great butcher, it doesn't make me a surgeon.

FC need a huge injection of professionalism, not happening any time soon.

Love a good positivity thread me

While I appreciate you are trying to lighten the mood and give a bit of optimism:

Our loyal and large fan base is arguably out biggest asset, but even that has dwindled by approx 2.5k on average since 2010

We are not financially stable and have made heavy losses in recent years. The new SKY deal and 3 extra home games (providing we make the may turn that around, but its not guaranteed.

Our owner talks a good game but has so far failed to deliver, I'm still waiting for the team of internationals and top4 rugby he promised to arrive

Yes, we are technically only one win from a playoff position, and overall the quality of the league seems down in recent years, but experience tells us that a team that has only posted back to back wins once in the Radford era won't make it.

Our U19s squad is currently getting good results, but until we see this consistenly for a few years we can't tell if this is just a blip. And even the best youth teams only produce a few players who make it to be SL players, we can't expect the youth team to solve all our problems.

We may play in the best ground in the league, but it is increasingly empty, and a dark Allam cloud hangs over it and it is likely we'll be only using 2 or 3 stands next season.

I do however agree that our community work and retail side of the business is better than most, unfortunately you don't get points on the league table for that though

I agree 100% That is my sentiment completely..
its not the professionalism thats worrying,
this is what worries me most..

Yeaman (no not a knock yeaman area but a fact) is almost non effective in the games i have seen this season and most of last, he is done in my opinion, he still throws in the odd massive shunt that makes everyone jump to their feet however the truth is that is rare!
He has been a great servant that is also clear but its time to give him a rest and bring someone else in because clearly it just isnt there any more, hes a centre FFS and we have 5 forwards who are faster than he is , 99% of the squad better passers and no one but the customers can see this and that baffles me , worries me and is a typical issue right now at FC

cant we have a negative thread so you can all post there

We wont change whilst Lee and his mates are around. Radford,Tony,Horne,Last,Whiting... all useless
