The Gateshead link up was confirmed, which is extremely dissappointing. No disrespect but we should have got ourselves a Championship club to push our youngsters in the best comp available.

Oh, and who is this "Kathleen" gob who thinks she can tell everyone to shut up at the forum? Silly woman.

McDonnell confirmed to be on a "massive" deal at his new employer, good luck to him, it's s short career.

Season Pass sales down 20% is very worrying.

I believe rightly or wrongly that its the #TeamSoWhat that the chairman is concerned about !
Rather than booting out the guy for making silly farmyard noises he should be warned as his unsettling attempt to get close to players incouraging unprofession attitudes !
Last year we had a number of players in #TeamSoWhat ie,Watts,Clinton,Nev,Blake,Taylor and look what happened to them.
This year its getting silly again and tbh i think the chairman wants it nipping in the bud.
Think im correct that our captain is a friend of said guy and it was nice to hear that he didnt utter a word in his defence when it was mentioned.
There is also the small matter of threats made on twitter by the guy towards other HKR fans oh and towards Neil himself last year,perhaps that helped sway Hudge ?

A fellow called Mark randomly screams "Cockadoodledooo" during games, been doing it for a long while and it doesn't really bother anyone. During the Wigan friendly, the low attendance made his voice more prominent and people had a little whine and a moan. This prompted a Twitter debate in which several players backed him up.

Perhaps someone should ask that the smoke bomb kid be found and banned.

Aye, I can understand that side of it, but that isn't what the moaning was about. They moaned that it was annoying and turning people away.

He's just recently instigated half of the 'Fax team to pose naked in the snow.

What was Adje's question about when he mentioned the new North stand having new TVs and all they have is a DVD player, or something like that? Is this in the East stand bar?

Think it was about an upgrade in the match day viewing generally. What I believe was being said was that all the east stand has is tv's with dvd's playing old matches and the question was with the new stand being developed would this also see the tvs in the east upgraded to include sky etc

#SaveTheCockerel

So, North Stand behind schedule, pass sales down 20% and no 'proof of funds' from timeshare Tony.

But obviously the main talking point is the Cockerel. Mark isn't just friends with a few of your players, he's good pals with a few of ours as well. Good bloke he is too, even if he is a #meff

I know radio is great for lots of rugby fans to hear the forum but maybe you should start doing it through hull kr tv if not just to get rid of Gollum , the guy is an idiot and just took over your FANS forum .

GL did a good job taking, adding to and asking questions.

If it was on HKR.TV, it'd be a "yes" man in his place. It's obvious GL is Rovers bias, but that doesn't stop him playing devils advocate. Better on't radio than telly, too.

It's not the main talking point at all, it was raised as a question and answered all within a few minutes. The points PAC has raised are all well and good and I agree in part with clamping down on that, however, that isn't what was raised at the forum. They said it (the cockerel sound) annoys them and turns people away. He's done it for at-least 1 full season and the first anyone mentions it was following the Wigan friendly.

Pass sales are disappointing, it's common, though. We're not the only team falling short of last years sales. Like yourselves, start the season well and hopefully make amends with people paying on the gate. They also went on sale very late, most will have spent the money elsewhere, perhaps?

North stand not going to be ready this season (barring last 2 games where it's hospitality functionality will be tested), now, didn't I read somewhere that the seated area will be complete and open before the build is complete? In the forum they alluded to hospitality, the boxes and restaurant, not being available. I take it the seated area won't be ready either?

yeah i asked a couple of follow up questions in regards to the pass sales towards the end... and Mike Smith gave short answers and then a change of subject... however he at least answered them

Pass sales are down at every team, I'd imagine. Just a fact of life at the moment.

So isn't the West stand part of the build going to be completed? Seems strange as it's been protected from the weather for some time. I remember AS commenting that it wouldn't be a problem now.

Having stood in the East stand for the England game, for me, I'd be more put off by the idiots that fail to see you have young children and still decide to stand bang in front of them, instead of some guy making cockerel sounds.

Yeah, I don't like the wall of people that stand at the hoardings either, you miss anything on the nearside touchline and can barely see the nearside of the pitch at both ends. Ideal if they play the whole game down the middle and/or the far side of the pitch.

Someone should mention this. Move them, ban them.

I haven't heard Captain Cockerel but in general I quite like some of the loopers we have, Rex The Dog and Mr. Incomprehensible are my favourites.

Honourable mention for Simon.
