You mean like discussing the terms you offered with someone who has a persona on a messageboard which they use to broadcast said terms eh!
Who'd have thunk it! |

Would he have enough to take us forward,a place on the SMC and all other things that add up? |

He's been a "name in the frame" for years Baldy, and nothing has ever come of it. |

We need a board who are in touch with the fan base around them,we need investment in one or two areas,(start with a top class scrum half),we need a C.E. who doesn't slip from one cock up to another and we probably need a top class coach.Afraid Agar was another cheap quick fix and from what i have seen seems out of his depth(hope i am proved wrong.Talk of boycotting certain thing helps no one,in fact it will make it worse.Been through a lot worse with this club and things can only get better.Kath should think what the crowds would be if we were as successful as her Husbands club,that would be a better way for her to get the money in. ![]()
Although I agree to an extent, I doubt you would find the chair of many SL clubs are in touch with the fans (Caddick, Mcmanus, Hood, the bloke at Wigan etc). The key difference is, they emply Cheif Executives who either are proven in business or rugby (or preferably both). This is where Hull FC fall behind badly.
The only think Kath has done wrongly, is not identifying the fact the Rule is not up to the job.

Thats the way i see things. I have yet to see any evidence that Mally Walker would be better for the club than Kath. This 'he loves the club' crap means nothing in the grand scheme of things and despite her faults Kath is well thought of in RL circles.
My guess is this whole subject wouldn't be surfacing had Rovers not made such a big impact in SL. |

Nail, hammer, thwack!
Kath is well known amongst the RL fraternity, unfortunately she is a poor judge od character. |

I can't be d to read through 5 pages so apologies if this has already been said.
I think we need to vent our frustrations at the club in some way but we must also do this with some perspective. The simple fact is that KH and the rest aint just gunna walk - as much as some of us would like. In addition we are relatively successful off the field and have many things (as a club) going for us.
However we have had one PR disaster after another and i for one are as vexed off as the next guy with this, along with the poor player recruitment and retention, poor choice of coaches etc. This is what we should be asking the club about, asking the board to bugger off will not get anyone anywhere (i'm afraid).
I cannot for the life of me understand why any business would not want to involve it's customers!

You have completely hit the nail on the head with that one sentence. Hull FC, whatever has happened on the field of late, are a very successful business. We get good attendances, and a merchandising turnover that most clubs in Superleague can only dream of. Whether the powers that be think it or not the fans ARE being ignored. If you go into to a shop and the assistants ignore you, what do you do? Go elsewhere. Athough a lot of fans will stick it out whatever, a lot are fickle, and we have another successful Superleague club in the area vying for their attention! |

I think if you read half the replys on this message board you should understand why fans are generally ignored. |

I did last week, couldn't be bothered wasting more money coming to hull to watch a team that couldn't be bothered. |

Have to disagree, whether rovers are in SL or NL2, we're still underperforming massively as a club and missing a major opportunity to be challenging consistently for honours |
