| Quote @airlie_bird="@airlie_bird"While the OP may or may not be back that is not the issue. The OP has a serious and valid point. Once you step away from the knee jerk reactions which litter this thread, you realise that the game is being controlled by idiots. A look on twitter today about Hudgell's comments will explain all.
Richard Whiting is dumped on his head in possibly far worse way than we saw in Australia this weekend, but without serious consequences (there by the grace of god) and a panel decide there can be no punishment. But Poore is banned. Also the difference between Paea and Flowers etc etc far too many incidents after just 6 rounds this year. Add in all the shockingly appalling decisions we have seen over the last 3 or 4 years and you start to fully appreciate the frustrations of people who have followed the game (yes the game there is more to life than Hulll FC) for years.
We never had the issues we have now even 10 years ago. Tackle techniques have changed massively for reasons I really don't fully understand. It's all about wrestling now and not a simple one up one down as it always used to be. I think there is something to be said for only have a 5 metre gap and not 10. It would slow the collision and the impacts thus reducing the danger to the players.
These are decisions that have to be made by strong independent knowledgable officials before the game becomes corrupt and the players are seriously injured. We have had a desire to speed the game up and create situations to encourage attacking play, yet we forget the effects long term on players. There is no consistency from officials and we now have a situation were people are turning away from the game. Add in games on every night but Tuesday causing annoyance a plenty and you soon realise that people have bigger issues than simply yet another p155 poor performance from Hull FC.

Ah Bless George he was not Dross  |

The RFL and Steve Ganson can shove rugby league up their ar2es.
The games a total laughing stock.
For 45years I've either played, coached, reffed and supported Rugby League. Not anymore.
Good luck to Hull FC and the faithful.....God knows you need it.'" Thanks for once again proving that you have the least appropriate username in history. |

There's been far darker days than these. I started in 1978 and seen some awful seasons, but I haven't thought about chucking the towel in. Those of us who went to every single game home and away during the Peter Walsh days will remember the laughs we had on the buses, knowing we were paying to watch our team get shafted and hammered most weeks with the odd great moment. Even in the bad times, it was good to be an FC fan, because of the clan-mentality of the Faithful.
Sadly, I can't get to many away games nowadays - work and family have to come first.
I.A.K.O.W.

Of course, the best thing to do when your club is struggling, is to stop supporting them.

Aye, hardly Pearson's fault the massive failings of the RFL. Protest against them, not your club, who need all our dissenting voices to battle for fairness in our great sport and a fair crack of the whip for Hull FC, and all the other clubs who are second amongst equals.
Pearson (and Hudge) need our support now of all times. |

I am not stopping going, and probably never will ( unless I get banned ) but it is unnerving that a lot of fans are stopping going, from some clubs |

Football related but still an interesting read on fan psychology
"Supporting a team shouldn't be about winning or losing, it should be about the whole experience: meeting your mates, having a beer, watching the game. That's what being a fan is. Isn't it?"
