Care to elaborate on that Dave or are you just chucking a sound bite in for the fun of it

why dont you explain to me your rationale cos im not getting you currently?

But they changed the kick-off days without taking any "major representation of the fans."

Wasnt knocking you mate, dont be precious!



I was merely saying that if a 'representative' body like HISA could make a difference people would want to be part of it and run it and it actually would never have ceased to be active. The fact that it has ceased to be active says a lot about 'rep bodies' with most organisations, they mean nothing, its all about the shareholder.

It's funny you should say that.

After the pre season "fans forum" which attracted 400, it was generally felt that was a good representation of the fans, stated so by Rule himself...... (of course we know that to be utter balls)

Which is why I think why my idea of a supporters group, going through the media and not the club, would be a more effective way of doing things at the moment.
I wouldn't want to run such a group though as I don't feel confident enough, although if one was set up (or HISA changed to something like I described) I would put myself forward to help out with it in some way

I'd 2nd that.

The reason HISA was set up was to meet with the club with issues the fans had, and the club did listen. My dad met with Shane Richardson, Trish Goldsmith and Adam Pearson many times, and things did get actioned and questions were answered.

The thing about bodies like HISA is that fans are only interested when something goes wrong - that isnt Karl's or HISA's fault, although keeping some sort of activity going for members may keep the awareness out there. If HISA were to be "re-formed" and requested a meeting with James Rule, or asked him to attend a question and answer forum, then at a guess, i would think he would. Why would he want to incur the wrath of the members by declining??

I agree with that above, but i feel the only answer you would get from the club is that HISA can only approach them via FC Voices.

Is that due to your "reputation" with the hull board, or say, if someone new dealt with approaches to the club they would say the same?

Which was only set up as an after-thought when Kear was given the elbow

But you don't know unless you ask!!! A change of personel and a new committee might do the trick, no disrespect to Hutchie by the way but there is a bit of baggage about, and Karl has a lot on, and a clean start might help. So who is willing to take up the baton from Hutchie?

As I said at lenght earlier in this thread FC Voices is a different animal altogether, and you should not presume that they would act as a conduit between an independant supporters club and the club itself. The club in turn would be foolish to mix the two up as well!

Funny how this only comes up when times are hard aint it?
