I'll give you some, young players, signings, pack for next season, away form and some of the rugby we have played in these 8s.

Quote: Dave K. "Massive overreaction as usual. I honestly don't know why you support Hull or go to games as all you do is moan and find the negatives, have you once posted anything positive this season? I hope if you stop going we don't have to listen to your drivel next year. I think there are plenty of positives going into to next season, but I do agree with bombed out that my season pass purchase is on it's last chance next season.'"


I was actually positive after a fantastic performance at the Magic Weekend, where we actually looked to have developed some attacking flair and I felt we could kick on. Unfortunately since then we've only had the win at Craven Park, and the kids surprising us at Saints & Wigan and its been back to the same old same old.

Personally for me the great work we've done with the young team is about to get undone by the frankly baffling decision to merge the academy. Pearson has put time and money in to sorting the academy out, but is binning off a promising system before its even fully got going.

The signings next year are undoubtedly good, but aren't in the areas I feel we need urgent work in (such as the halves, at hooker and at centre) as for the rugby in the Super8's the young kids put in phenomenal displays at Saints & Wigan but the others have been far from classics.

Quote: UllFC "As fan of over 20 years it pains me to say this, but this is he point our years of decline are in danger of becoming a terminal spiral.

Yet another disappointing home display, the team didn't even turn up for about 20/30mins, gave a distinctly average Catalan a head start, and somehow allowed them to win when they've been hammered every week when visiting the UK.

Same collection of issues that have dogged us for years, no attacking game plan, poor kicking, awful conversion attempts. Failure to turn up for 80mins. No different attacking moves to all the other 'close but got no points' games we've had in the Radford era. I think most fans are realistic and didn't expect a classic today, 7th versus 8th in a dead rubber was never going to be, but we do expect effort for the full game. The young kids did better over the last few weeks than the experienced pro's on display today. Catalan's were also a lot smarter with their play, often playing for penalties and slowing the game down, something we never seem to do.

Crowds and the atmosphere are at their lowest point, Pearson admitted there was only 6,500 in the ground last week and there can't have been any more than that today despite some free/cheap tickets in the North stand. The fans are voting with their feet, in increasing numbers.

I can only plead with Pearson to admit he made a mistake in hiring Radford, and go out and hire an experienced head coach, which would restore confidence and most fans would renew next year and give the team a chance.

I had already decided not to renew my pass next year based on poor performances over the last year and a half, but today really was the final straw, after yet another week of hype in the media 'going to end with a bang' we went out with a whimper. We have signed some quality players next year but it's backs we need more than forwards. We are also losing Lineham and Paea who are quality players who we will miss.

Some posters on here may be glad to hear that after over 20 years of support and approx 11 years posting on here this will be my last thread. This isn't the club I fell in love with, it's a badly managed sinking ship and I can't see anything changing anytime soon. Over and out!'"


Agree that for 20/30 minutes we where asleep but the Silverwood was for the whole game .
Goal kicking was bad but Sneyd was coming out of sunlight in to shadow for his 3 kicks and as for always a problem we have won and drawn games thanks to our kickers, that's if you can think that far back.
But then again only got 65 years support in.

Dave, if someone doesn't want to support their team its up to them, just nod and smile. Your right, there are plenty of positives for next season. The thing I can't understand is people coming on here with negative posts like that, keep it to yourself. The club need our support in these times! We start winning next season and the crowds come back who knows whats possible? For me I'll always be there, home and away (love away matches). All this "last pass" stuff is so annoying, come on guys support the team, I know Radford is not a popular choice with everyone BUT Pearson sees something in him and he's not one to suffer fools!!!

Wait til you have been a fan for 40yrs and then you can whinge...today's match was a joke,nothing to play for as the "super dooperr 8's" are a load of crap,we didn't have a cat in hells chance of doing anything. And we tried off the cuff stuff in a few games.

Heard it all before, people saying they've had enough, won't post again, yada yada yada. Let's see if you live up to your word.

Indeed. 5 hours 40 minutes to go, promised no more posts after Sunday. icon_lol.gif

He makes some valid points and is free to choose whether he plays his part in keeping the club afloat, of course.

Except it isn't just me losing interest is it, even the most blinkered supporters can see there have been less people in the stands than at any point in the KC era, even in the Agar days. Thousands have already walked away.

good luck to you all next season. I genuinely hope I am proved wrong and the club kicks on and gets out of this mess but as I have explained several times I don't feel the off-field staff have the experience to drag us out of the malaise.

I don't get some hull fans it's like there negative for negatives sake I've just watched my club win all 7 games in the middle 8s but it was the most boring 7 games the team and fans didn't really get up for it whereas you beat saints ran Wigan close when everyone was expecting a cricket score should have won today and have made some very good signings for next season I don't understand it plus it's like if you don't agree with the OP your a happy clapper who just excepts everything whereas id just call you a fan who follows your team through thick and thin

4 wins out of the last 15 games tells you all you need to know about this season. it's happened and we have the same situation as previous years.
Next season might be better with the quality of players coming in and indeed it's the best we've had for a long time IMO but the main sticking point is still the coach, supporters are disinfranchised with the club almost on a par with the Lloyd era and part of that is down to the owner as well as the coach.
ATEOTD either one goes, or you don't, criticising those that state they aren't going because of X will have zero effect on them. It's their choice to make rightly or wrongly for the club. You could flip it around and say that by renewing your pass/attending that you're aiding the cancer that still afflicts the club. I'm beyond caring either way but I'll still go when I can.

Obviously I am very set in my views. But I think this is a fantastic post that sums up the current situation better than I could eusa_clap.gif

Perhaps if you hadn't come on announcing to everyone that you're going then you wouldn't get a response. Quite frankly people are not interested whether you turn up or not and will make their own decisions on whether they will continue to support the club, but they probably won't make a public announcement either way.
