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 "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.

the big difference for me is that when I've seen bad Hull sides before (the end of the 90s for example) its been down to lack of money, and playing in a poor ground, whenever there was any success they'd sell off key players to stay afloat etc
now things are different because we have such big resources, yet are just being mismanaged
people are only getting so worked up about the club because they care, we were 80mins from being SL champions, now we are so far away we may as well be in National League 1.

likewise Horne, Byrne, Cusack, Tony, Radford, Tickle, Manu etc.
The only issue I have is the money available for a coach.

| it's just a shame that there is no relegation
then the club would have to do some thing instead of just blowing hot air, i.e we won the cup we were in the final etc that is history we want success today as well.
oh what an embarrasment how rovers have caught up and overtaken us in 2 seasons, where will thay be in the next 2 seasons while we wallow at the lower end

| First of all this post isn't aimed necessarily at the op, but at the whinging fans in general. The club owe its fans nothing, the amount of people who expect the club to wait on them hand and foot, it really es me off. "Why havn't we been told about injuries," "we are the heart of this club," "I'm not spending my hard earned money when they can't be bothered."
I don't give a fook, and tbh its boring. You know what you are letting yourselves in for when you buy a ticket, if the team plays well and we win, then great, if not, its disappointing, but never mind you've seen a game and thats what you went for. No one makes you buy a ticket for a game, you do it out of choice, so when someone says we deserve better than we are getting, why? No one makes you go to games. If you don't think players are putting in effort then thats you opinion, but the reality is that this is a strong league we are in now, you look down the table and with the exception of Celtic you honestly don't know what the results are going to be. It's sport, some people do well and end up at the top, but unfortunatly for every winner there is a loser and you can't be happy all of the time. You have the best stadium in the league, will be in superleague indefinately in effect and because we've hit a bad patch people think the club is a "disgrace." Get a grip, this is a fantastic club and tbh the people who sit and hurl abuse at the players don't deserve to be accosiated with Hull FC.
As I've mentioned already this is sport, its entertainment, yet peoples jobs are on the line and people want coaches and players to be sacked just so that they can have bragging rights over Rovers. Someone mentioned in this thread about us being run like a football club. Who is responsible for that then? I'll let you work it out.

Spot on, as usual. Apart from the bit highlighted - only 2 winners and 12, or probably 13 losers.
IMO those suddenly withdrawing their support from the team in a sulk because we're not winning are akin to the Rovers fans deserting their club when they were in the mire, but are possibly worse - at least they waited until relegation. The team, for all its shortcomings in terms of creativity, are trying their best. Some are being inappropriately used due to the large number of unavailable players - Manu is being flogged to death and unable to produce his usual impact, Hall is out of position and low in confidence, Dowes is out on his feet after being played for 70 minutes week in week out, but you can't say they're not putting the effort in. Regardless of what you think of the coaching set-up, the team on the pitch needs support on the terraces more now than ever. Just my opinion, obviously, but abandoning ship now just looks a bit spoilt.
