Sadly I couldn’t agree more, 22+ years for me. Just come back from Catalans and got the other booked but can’t see me doing anymore away games. I don’t even wanna go to the home games to be honest.

You’re not the only one Chris.

Many feel the same and are on the brink.

Don’t think I would be too bothered if Adam said he was closing the club down and would cease to exist.

It would take the decision out of my hands.

The weird thing is most weeks there's a story on Hull Live where Dan T asks about who's due back and when so God knows why Smith hasn't mentioned Pele's injury.

We really need a morale boosting win and performance on Saturday because over the next month we could be out of the Cup and coming off the back of another derby loss.

That’s odd, I’ve just read a HDM article posted 5 minutes ago saying they are challenging it. I’d tend to believe it since it had quotes from Tony Smith in it questioning the decision to ban Ashworth.

Aaron Bower says we are appealing against the severity of the charge and John Davison says were are contesting the "band" - I'm not sure if he meant to put "ban" or if he means the grading.

I’m assuming they’ll be trying to get it downgraded to a B and take a one game ban. Although it doesn’t warrant any ban.

There is currently an air around the club as a whole of aimless drifting with little to engage, let alone excite, the fan base. It feels to me increasingly like the nineties under Lloyd or, as you say, the 2008-11 period. It feels as if we are going nowhere with no clear plan of action.

I do wonder if Pearson has simply given up and wants out but, due to a plethora of reasons, can't find a buyer with a suitable offer?

Walker out for at least four weeks but Houghton will be in the squad for the Leigh game.

Pele, Scott and Tindall all possibilities

So none of them will play

Think they’d be better served resting Houghton instead of possibly risking him tearing a hamstring flogging him for 80mins again instead of putting Brown at 9 and showing some faith in Balmforth.

Doubt any of the others will be in the 17 even if named in the 21 man squad.

Apologies for sounding a little defeatist but I really am pee’d off with it all. After feeling some optimism following the game against Catalans it was quickly removed with the continued disparity in the MRP judgements and a feeling of genuine despair in the lack of engagement from the club.

The problem for Pearson is that Hull FC is his only income.
He has to balance the fact that is it better to be in control of the club and his income or try to sell a club which on paper is worth sweet FA

Ashworth's had his offence downgraded to C and his ban reduced to two matches. Back for the derby.
