I've had some experience of being chair of an association, and it's a bloody thankless task TBH. As others have pointed out, people only want to take part when they have a problem themselves. If they're having an easy life they just can't be bothered. Under those circumstances it's nigh on impossible to function as you can hardly claim to have a mandate when no bugger turns up to meetings or tells you what their position is on any given subject.

Writing to individual members is time consuming, expensive, and usually unproductive.

When you add in the fact that the club have actively shut HISA out, it's no bloody wonder they've been dormant.

If some people on here want HISA to be active and a voice for the fans, get off your backsides and make it happen. Just talking about it and hoping that someone else will do the actual work will achieve precisely nowt.

That experience should come in handy for your new role then.

Do you want a job?

ha ha forgot about that,just been re-reading the email i got sent on it, still makes me chuckle

Just got a new one, thanks.

Joking aside, HISA is just the kind of thing I would probably have got involved with is I lived in Hull. I'm generally in favour of supporter's associations as they can help keep clubs honest if well supported and organised.

As it is there's no way I could offer anything from this distance. I know exactly how much time and effort is involved - it's a major commitment.

Cheers Kosh

but i cant hold you back for moving away from Hull and making a success of your life as everyone who moves out the city does

Shocking. All that and you missed out
