Share Issue

Quote: The Brother "A few years ago before the merger with gateshead we was a shareholders club and shane richardson said he wanted to have a share issue again so us the fans have the chance to purchase shares. However this has not being forthcoming under the present regime this is the reason we never really find out what our present fianical situation is.

In the past there was an AGM every year and everyone who had shares was invited to this meeting where the accounts were produdced for every one to see not like now were the only people that seem to know is kath and the croonies.

On the back of a challenge cup win a grand final apperance increased attendances,merchandise and coparate on the increase year after year why do they find it in them to continue to fleece us the fans because all that seems to happen is they put season passes and merchandise up to get even more money off us despite them raking it in.

If were not making money theres something wrong which just goes to prove we are run by a set of idiots who are just intrested in making money for themselves and fleecing us and proves what a bad management team we have at the helm i wish we could fing a big investor who could buy the club back for us the fans so we could invest again with a share issue.

We need somebody on the board who knows a bit about rugby league who is well respected in the game a CEO who deals with rugby issues not buissness leave that to the marketing or whoever deals with that sort of field or appoint someone to solely deal with that'"

Perhaps the fact you cannot construct a sentence, spell or put an argument forward without claiming unsubstantiated rumour is the clearest indication that fans on the board would be the worst thing imaginable.

You claim the club are raking it in? Perhaps the money coming in is to pay off the significant debts we have.

You claim we need someone on the board who knows a bit about Rugby League? Absolute tosh. We need a board of directors who can maximise a business opportunity and drive the business forward. The people who need to be aware of RL are the coaching staff and the players.

This is another attempt by an inquisitive fan to gain inside information.

Say YOU did gain access to the current financial information and, for arguments sake lets say it shows Hull losing money and making losses. What exactly would YOU do about it?

It's all well and good saying we need a wealthy backer, it would be more useful if you could suggest a viable one.

All this boils down to wanting more information for the fans from the club. There are a few threads which this boils down to, the club communicating with fans.

I notice that Radio Humberside have had items on rovers every day this week on their sports bulletins. In all honesty the news items
on rovers have been time fillers. It doesn't actually tell people anything useful or what they didn't already know.

So far this week, Jason Netherton has said how much he think he can learn from paul cooke. The rovers are having a days training at Brid beach and Morgan saying "If we leap frog a couple of teams we will be in 6th or 7th spot"!!! Absolutely ground breaking!.

You want to start a campaign to do something about it as you put it. What you fail to state is what it this something you want to do?

Fans on the board! What a joke!
