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.

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.

| I obviously cannot speak for other pass holders but when i say i may not renew mine for next season that doesn't mean i'll stop supporting the team / club or stop going to games. What i might do is pick and choose the games i want to attend as opposed to shedding out money in advance for what is effectively cr*p entertainment.
I have followed Hull since the late 80's and like many of us i have seen worse sides and darker days but i bugrudge (especially in these economic times) paying top dollar watching some of thee worst rugby i have witnessed at the club.And i mean being bored senseless while watching it. I class myself as lucky to have the money to spend in advance and buy merchandise as and when i like but i ain't wasting season pass money on this......I'd rather lose games but go down in a blaze of glory rather than do what we do now!

| The way i see it is simple. If i go for to a restaurant every week and as time goes by, the Chef starts serving up awful food. Eventually I will stop going until; he brings the food up to the required standard, changes the menu or the owner changes the chef.
I would not continue to go in the hope that one day a decent meal falls out of the kitchen!

Erm not at all. It is a FACT. We are currently 6th in the league. Whether we stay there or not is irrelevant.

If thats your opinion then fine, but Hull FC, the team I have supported all my life, means a little bit more to me than a feckin restaurant.

I think they are, with their poor recuitment and retention policies and lack of ambition. I think it's an insult.
Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"Do you think the players and coaches like losing? Do you think the board enjoy the stick that they are getting?'"
I don't think they care, they certainly have shown no signs at least.

I don't think it should take that long if some common sense were applied and a genuine effort made. And whilst it's easier said than done, clubs with less going for them than us have fared better in recruitment in recent years than us, so there is something drastically wrong.
Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"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.'"
I think our position is a slightly false one TBH. On current form Warrington are better than us, Catalans are still in a state of change, and I also expect at least 2 of Wakey, Cas and Wigan to overtake us before the season's out.

I reckon that mentality at christmas would have been great for City come the end of the season. I bet all of them still think it's just bad luck they didn't make europe.

'"
So it's irrelevant if we slip further down the table? Also we are currently in 6th yes and if you are happy with this then goody for you...i for one feel we as a team have gone backwards with what appears to be little or no action taken to sort the problems out. In 2004 we had an excellent side that played some of the best attacking RL i have seen a Hull side play.....since those days we have gone to one of the least entertaining...at such an alarming rate!!!

The principle is the same though.
If we continue to get served rubbish on the field why would people go? We've already seen a huge drop in attendance (14K to 12K to 11K in three home league games) and people vote with their feet. I'd be surprised if we get 10K for Saints especially if it's on telly

Oh ffs, getting the wrong end of the stick again. My point is that whether we stay there or not, we are 6th in the table, even if we don't win a game for the rest of the season we will still have been the 6th best side at the half way point and therefore claiming that we are 6th is not clutching at straws.

Irrelevant only because there's no relegation. So you'd be happy scrapping for the wooden spoon?

Oh my god.
I'm not saying anything like that. The point is we are 6th. We may well drop down the table, but we havn't yet, so the season is still alive. I'm not "clutching at straws" by saying we are currently 6th, I am merely stating a fact.

Look, I'm not saying that it doesn't matter if we drop down the table. I am saying that as of now, we are the 6th best side in the country, and this is proven by the table. Tbf saying that it's irrelent wasn't a very good choice of words. But it doesn't change the fact that even if we do slide down the table we were the sixth best side in the first half of the season, and therefore havn't been quite as bad as people have made out. What we do in the second half of the season doesn't change that fact.
