And I suppose everyone turning their back on the club will make us into an irresistable force?

It's got feck all to do with settling for mediocrity, I want this club to blow everyone out of the water every game, of course I do, but it doesn't happen like that. People seem to be able to come up with plenty of faults with Hull FC but no one has any answers, lets sack the coach and get rid of the dead wood half way through a season, thats great, but who is going to replace them? People are tied down to contracts and teams don't want to let their best players leave half way through the season. You can't just wave a magic wand and make everything okay.

Realistically there is nothing fans can do to help the club. Do you honestly think that just because people don't renew their passes the board will think, "oh dear, we need to buy a team of superstars to get them back on our side?" As a fan all you can do it support the team, thats what I intend to do and thats what everyone should be doing if they want to make a difference.

You are right but in the same way I don't think people who want to go and support the team regardless of the issues surrounding it should be called 'mugs' (not saying you have said this but it appears on this thread).

You wouldn't say that was the case in this post then?

It's not about getting us back on their side, it would be about them wanting us to start spending money again. And I do honestly think they would have to think about it if enough people stopped going and buying merchandise.

I agree, I just think it cuts both ways.

I haven't had a pass for two seasons now, and its great because when they're playing $hite I dont feel obliged to go and watch them 'just because I have a pass'. Ive actually saved a fair amount of money in this time.

Keep it up Hull!

I don't think I'm superior to anyone else because I get behind the team. I just don't get the mentality of people who say about how much they love the club and yet are prepared to turn their back on the side that they have supposedly supported all their life just because things aren't going their way.

Because it's the only weapon we have. Do you take any and all mistreatment from family and friends without any protest?

It's not about simply falling out of love with the team, it's about doing the only thing you can think of to get the message across that you want to be treated right in return.

not trying to wind people up but why not have a sit-in like warrington did?
means you can go to the game and get your point across + the board will see how upset you are.

Not been able to afford a pass this year......even struggling to get 'pass savings stamps' to be honest......BUT.....I support Hull FC, always have and always will.....If the funds become available....I WILL HAVE A PASS NEXT YEAR.....Players and coaches come and go.....FC will always be there!!!! And as long as I can walk......SO WILL I!!!

Because the board dont want to know!

But it's not the same is it? The club are hardly mistreating it's fans, they are playing poorly and will be feeling equally bad as we are because of it. Do you think the players and coaches like losing? Do you think the board enjoy the stick that they are getting? As I've said before you can't just wave a magic wand and make everything okay. To get this club back to the top is going to be a long process, it could take years, but we have the resources to do it. It's not a case of the board not wanting to make us a top side, but it's easier said than done. Besides we are currently the 6th best team in the country, the way people are going on you would think we are on the edge of going out of existance.
