Quote westjba="westjba"I have been a supporter of Hull FC for over 30 years, having been taken to the boulevard at the age of 4 or 5, by my dad, who was home from sea.
In that time iv experienced great times, going unbeaten in the late 70's, the dizzy heights of the early-mid 80's, great players, Sterling, knocker, crane, skerret, stone to name but a few,also saw some good coaches Bunting, Smith, and then came the not so good times, the len casey era, peter walsh, but in all that time my support hadnt wavered, iv been stood on Bunkers Hill, with a crowd of 3000, just hoping the opposition wouldnt put more than 10 past us, but, i could deal with the bad then, because as a club we had nothing on the pitch and we had f*ck all off the pitch, but the players TRIED, and gave there all, and the supporters that was there, realised this, and got behing the team.
Now we have everything to sucseed, great fan base, great stadium, merchandise sales the best theres been, and on the pitch?? no desire, no commitment, no effort, theres no positives, this is what hurts me, this club has the nucleous to be great, but due to poor/cheap options, there robbing the supporter, im just average joe, with a family to feed, but still buy our passes year after year, but the away games are now not worth the effort/money, but im no less of a fan, than the one that goes to the end of the world for them, and for others to question others that has made a decision, i find insulting, but obviously im a part time supporter, i can live with that!!!'"
good post sums up my feelings well
Well said. I've broken my arm and thought it best not to stand in a crowd and risk more damage. Clearly I'm a keyboard warrior
