| Quote: RC15 "I didn't renew my pass this year, after 42 years of buying one; and doing most away games quite recently.
Had planned to attend the odd game, but haven't and being frank do not miss it at all given the utter garbage served up for the previous five seasons. It is not about losing, it's the complete lack of pride in the shirt shown in that time; and the way it sucked all of the passion out of me, until I sat there for the last few games last season emotionless, distracted, and wondering why I had turned up.
Reasons for not renewing are multiple, but principally
I know what you mean…I saw us win a Wembley and after 5 defeats,1 draw…1 glorious night in Leeds and a even better day at Cardiff…the holy grail arrived and I was fortunate to be there as I had to make some personal choices…I chose family,marriage and my kids over FC as I was a bit of a selfish sod and got out of the habit…yes I went in 17 V Wigan…do I regret my choice ..no…will go back,highly doubtful as I like what I’m doing now but will remain a supporter/fan til my last breath.

| Fook me, all these bleeding hearts. If you don't want to go fair enough but don't come on here with some bleeding heart story. You're no longer a supporter, merely a fan.
If we put a decent team on the park whoever start winning games regularly people will come back

You seriously think I've been on here for 17 years pretending to be a Hull FC supporter? You're dimmer than I thought

| Quote: bonaire "The apathy from FC supporters is clear to see and little wonder.
Nothing to show at the moment that next season will be any more interesting or exciting for the lost fans.to return in numbers.
The club also need to get back to playing on a Sunday ex Sky contracted games as Saturday doesnt work and also conflicts with football
The game has also kicked itself in the teeth by having all games televised and this needs to be rectified next season to try and gets more fans into the stadiums'"
I honestly don't know what the answer is with match days. The club have tried Saturday afternoons for a while now. I actually quite like them, although I get many don't. The problem with playing on a Sunday is that we'd regularly be giving a two day advantage to opposition by then playing away on the following Friday.
The match day has no real affect on attendances, it's all about form.
I do agree about all games being televised being a bad idea.

I notice you never post when rovers are playing and you're a Johnny come lately who admits to not attending our games. My guess is you're a dobbin making a poor attempt at pretending you're not

| The doom and gloom on here is unreal.
For me, rather stupidly I don't care when we play at home, as a supporter I do my damnedest to get there.
Why do we have to be the whiniest set of fans?
I completely agree with Jake's comment.
Either go and support the club or don't but don't come on here and whinge with a million reasons why you don't go.
I'm sure if the onfield product was good people wouldn't care when we play and those reasons why they don't go would disappear.
It's easier to make excuses not to go when we are as poor as we are.
I suppose that's the difference between supporters and fans.

The definition of a supporter is one who supports their team financially, the definition of a fan which is short for fanatic is one who actually goes to games whatever it takes. Some who come on the board whingeing and whining do neither so should not be classed as either. Put up or shut up is my response.

I'm not convinced it's as easy as that anymore. You're right in that, ultimately, a winning team is the best selling point any club could have, but we have been so average/poor for so long now that I think a sizable portion of ex-attendees would need more than a few wins to tempt them back.
It's now essentially seven years since we were last a decent proposition, seven years in which we have continued to go backwards year on year. That is a lot of downhill travel to turn around. For those people who, for whatever reason, are now choosing not to attend in person, I reckon it will take a period of sustained success to bring them back and that will not be easy given our current position.
The worst part is that we have dug this hole for ourselves, all of our own doing, without any help from outside sources. From a position of some strength to being a club merely making up the numbers. It will take an awful lot of hard graft to convince some people that we are once more a serious contender, and not just another brief flash in the pan.

| My opinion is, you have to regularly put money into the club to be a supporter, I know some struggle to afford passes, but the club often do great ticket deals and buying merchandise at Christmas etc helps.
Anyone who doesn't can call them self a supporter, but they (IMO) font have the right to critise the club if they don't contribute and help.

Fully agree, I hand over my cash to the club so entitled to my opinion whether good or bad
