If i may be allowed to say my bit you dont become a bad team overnight my mate sue is disilliusioned as a fc pass holder and shes a die hard you won 5 on the bounce and can turn this around granted the team is lacking in confidence but for some fc fans and i do say a few to say the end is nigh is daft. I believe you can and will turn this around keep the faith folks

| Quote kt170496="kt170496"The S/L teams are run has business that why teams were graded if you didnt reach that grade no licence .. part of the grading that teams had to have a sound business ..We can kick and scream but Hull F C got an A grade so who ever is running the Club is doing something right ...'"
without the fans and therefore income the club won't be getting another grade A license
nobody can deny that they run the club as a good 'business' we are one of only 3/4 SL sides making a profit...but there has to be a balance between being a good business and being a good RL team
people don't attend games just because we've got a load of ticks on a RFL franchise sheet |

it does, we were guaranteed to be in SL for the next 9 years in effect, as I think we can only slip to a B this time, and then a C the time after etc
but the point still stands that they can't brag about an A grade license next time if the KC isn't 40% full, and we don't meet the income standards |

Not if we slip to a grade C! Think a grade A simply gives us our status for 3 years doesnt it? |

If, at the next inspection, we get a B, that will be the three years at A, then three years at B, then at the next inspection (after 3 years) we get a C then we get another three years, making it 9.
The likelihood of us ever dropping below B is low, the stadium and youth and communiy work pretty much guarantee us the minimum of B. |

| Quote ex west coast usa="ex west coast usa"My first game was in 1962 (only 6) and have been a regular follower since 1969 - I also saw all the 26 winning games in a season. I have been through the bad time (boulevard under 1000) but even though our players have been bad the effort was there for all to see. I used to go to games not to see us win but to see if we could score a try.
But the shambles that we have been over the last 2 years or so is to much for me to take - we are not a poor club but i am fed up of the cheap option - yes we sign or attempt to sign a class player every year (after all you only have to sign one to sell 1miilion pounds worth of season tickets - good deal when you also get the sky money).
but if you want a good team you have to invest in a good youth setup and an excellent coaching set up (we have signed some of the best youngsters over the last few years but have not had any good coaches to take them to the next level - with the result unfulfilled talent.)
An example we have in Richard Horne as a 16 or 17 year old a fantastic talent (in my opinion still a very good player) but with the right coaching and a halfback to learn from would have been world class.
The only way to change the situation we have is to force the board to change ( they see it as a business - I have no problem with this, but as long as you pay your money nothing will change. The only way it will change is if income starts to fall, and when this happens they will remedy the situation or sell).
The club have moved foward in so many commericial ways - community projects etc - but this will eventually become meaningless if the club declines - the club is its fan base - this is not football where fans are a necessary evil- in rugby fans are the life blood of the club.
Over the last few years I have had to make a decision on providing funds for my families education (university) and have not been able to see my club as much as /I would like - but I would always support my team in any way I could. However, enough is enough and I have now decided not to go to see this team anymore unless they sign a proper coach and proper scrum half. - I only hope that this is done soon as at the moment my passion and desire for Hull FC is on the verge of being non existant - I am starting to have no desire to watch RL at all.
If JR or any of the players, coaches read this forum please take note as I do not think I am by myself.'" i am with you 100% |

So, are they not allowed to make a profit from their investment(eventually), and not meant to expect their loansto be repaid?
So, when the cub struggl we can expect directors to pump their own money in, but when we do well they can't take any of tha money back?
Hardly fair. |

Totally agree. I would like to use your club/fans as an example of what could happen when people walk away. If all of the 7500 regulars who now attend your games actually attended games throughout the 90's, instead of now claiming they did, maybe you would not have been in the wilderness for so long.
I, like many others am fed up to the back teeth with the tripe that I have to witness on a regular basis. I find myself questioning my support and for the first time wondering if it is all worthwhile. Will I walk away? I very much doubt it, but if I did, only to return when the good days came back, I would have the balls to admit that I was once a deserter. |
