Don't worry, those conversations are happening, a lot of people are "watching this space", if anything changes it will be after the SL franchise announcement (ownership wise I mean)

People sling all sorts of insults at the Hetherington's but they are genuine RL fans, you don't spend years of your life (and your own finances) into trying to make RL work in places like Sheffield and Gateshead without being passionate for the game.
there will obviously be financial interests in owning HullFC, but they are fans of the game at the same time.

Is now the right time to mention that, when at Gateshead, Kath was overheard saying that she'd never bring her children to Hull because of the language in Threepennys.
The "fan" thing is probably right, but the financial thing is the main concern...

How long has the restaurant been shut? I had heard there weren't many in there last season. When we used to go in there were around 15-20 tables each with 10 seats paying a grand a season

I think it was open for Leeds, but has been shut for the last two weeks. All the player intros and interviews are being done in the Kingston Suite and even that is looking a little empty by comparison with last year.

| I have stated that I believe that the board have done a good job with this club, they have brought stabilty, profit and growth. I think they have also now run there term of office as it where and a change is needed in style, I do not think this can be acheived with the current board. I think we need to inject new blood and idea's into the mix with a poor progressive customer focused management. I held the belief that the present regime have this "take it or leave" it attitude towards the fans, the fans are very low down on the clubs pecking order , a sort of afterthought.
During the John Kear " saga " they realised they had a communication with the fans problem, they did try and improve things. To a certain extent that worked for a while, but the fans forums and radio phone ins have become very spin orientated with a lot less listening and a whole lot more preaching. It became very unpopular to speak out against the club, even on here people have been attacked for not following the party line.
This will end the way it always has at Hull FC, into period of near obscurity with low gates and even lower expectations except this time I do not think the club has carried enough of its "hard core " support with it. The club is ripe for a take over and perhaps this is what this is about now, we shall see but there has to be changes made now.
