Quote: Graham Richards "Absolutely spot on.
The difference this year to season gone by is that in the past we would have a poor performance in the play offs and pack up and go home. This year we have another 7 weeks of misery to look forward to. I genuinely hope I am wrong, but given the lack of heart, desire and commitment last night I fear the worst.
In answer to the opening question, I fail to see how anybody can question the fans commitment. Since 2006 we have been served up dross with the odd highlight. I think this season is now begining to show that many will not take it any longer. AP will have to do some amazing marketing to pull things round for 2016. I certainly don't see how one or two "star" signings is going to make a massive difference.'"
Seven weeks of misery? You've beaten Saints Hudds Catalans Cas and Wire this season, and given Wigan a good game away who have hammered almost everyone they've played at home this season.
Your Super 8s should be as exciting as ours (Wire) and Catalans. We are inconsistent but have enough quality that when we click we can beat ANYONE. That why we're in the 8 and not going to be playing Halifax and Sheffield!
By the way Hull aren't the worst fans in the league nor are you the best. In Super League, like in many other sports, sets of fans are generally as decent as each other on average from week-to-week. Sometimes you'll get a sheeyite one like the other night, or you'll take 1800 to Leeds and rock it, then take 1000 to Wire and barely sing but then rock it at home the week after against Rovers. And every club's fans are like that.
Ive never seen a set of fans top Wire's at Widnes for the 2009 CC semi final against the Pies, that was just amazing! and we sold about 35000 tickets or Wembley for the 2010 CC Final. But I've also seen us beaten at home to Saints and we didn't sing once after the first five minutes, seen us take barely a few hundred to the KC, and seen us only take just about 17500 to Old Trafford for the 2013 GF. But I wouldn't call us the best fans or the worst fans on the back of any of those things.
