not all doom and gloom!

Quote: Graham Richards "Wow how far from reality could you be. Let me give you an example of why. I have supported the club since 76. I have seen the "glory" years I have also seen the poop we have had to endure as well. I was there with 95000 others in 1980 at Wembley. I have also been there when we have had a few thousand. This current team have everything that they boys of the 80s would have dreamed of. Full time training, excellent salaries (ok no where near what they should get for putting their bodies on the line week in week out for 6 months of the year) but still a good salary giving a decent lifestyle. They have as a body of players delivered far far below their collective potential and for at least 4 seasons now. Yes under Walsh and Casey et al we were poorer results wise, but when you compair the potential of the squads this one has delivered the worst.

I can not as you seem to imply simply walk away and watch another product. The club are not corn flakes, I can't stop getting Kellogs and get a different brand of the same thing, its not possible to support another club. What I can do though is take my cash elsewhere and stop watching the sport full stop. This in my case is close as I have started spending my hard earned on family days (as JR said I should when he went to Friday nights) and I am often spotted at cricket. I have spent less than £100 on HFC this year. That is in real terms a big saving for me and a loss to the club. I have tried to stop moaning as its pointless. The club ain't listening and apathy which was only starting to set in, in February is now widespread and gathering pace week by week.

You state also that the game is about game plans and we should forget flair. Well I guess we forgot flair at least 4 years ago. The trouble is our game plan is either very poor or non existant. Give me a reason for that. Unless your answer mentions poor coaching then you are missing the point again.

Yes there is always someone worst off. One of my best mates is a Wakey fan. Yes they are worst off than us. Don't know if they will be in SL next year or even in some cases in business, BUT to me thats like comparing Waitrose to your local corner shop. We have everything established off the field to be a competative side challenging for honours. Not I might add having a god given right to win everything. That is not reality. Where as we are barely competing against top sides. Last I looked we were 3 points ahead of Wakey on points WON this season. They were out of business and losing players not so long back. That to me is a side like your local shop that is working overtime to stay afloat and making progress. It could be argued they are over achieving. Hull FC the team I will always support can not say that. That is what is frustrating and why we moan. The BOD are satisfied and the coach is the best in the business, the players are 100% committed as they tell us every week in the HDM, so what is going wrong? Well said. Why people think that fans who take the time and trouble to "moan" somehow don't care about the club is beyond me. The problem is when people like you and I and many others stop caring enough to moan , complain and debate the reasons and simply allow apathy to wash over us. It's like drowning eventually you just give up and let it happen. The most frustrating thing is that in the end there is didley squat we can actually do about it and I just do not understand why the BOD have taken/are taking the position they have on Agar. It just doesn't make sense which ever way you cut it.
