Well Said Good post!

At the end of the day,all sports are in the entertainment business, if you're not entertained ,people dont go.

Coupled with austerity, people cant justify nor afford £200+ for a pass, if they arent getting value for money.



IF AP delivered a BIG name coach, supporters would realise a signal of intent from the club,this MIGHT convince fans to renew, or if he continues with an unproven head coach,I think he will be surprised by the fans reaction.

Everyone has their own choices to make and rightly so. I've bought mine as it's my way of supporting the club financially. Without financial support there is no club in my view so that's why I do it. In particular we have an owner who to me clearly wants to make this work so it's my small contribution to helping achieve that.



Obviously there's a stack of speculation around and not all of it will be true. If this new approach of recent ex players running the show comes to fruition and actually starts to bear fruit as it has at other clubs I hope that those who are rubbishing the possibility of it working come back and support the club. If it fails then it fails - we're only really back where we are now. It's a different approach to solve a long running problem. Worth a try in my view.

Good post saves me typing out similar.



I class myself as a fan & supporter of Hull FC ever since my first game when I was 7 years old and am now in my early 40's. I have had a season pass for as long as I can remember and always renewed no matter what.



However things change in peoples lives and although I will always be a fan & supporter of Hull FC I seriously have to question whether this year I will renew. For me the enjoyment of going to games has erroded due in part to the way the game has gone and also the dross served up over the past decade after I thought we had turned the corner with the CC win and GF appearance.



I can think of more important things and more enjoyable things to spend the money I earn on currently other than Hull FC as I think they have had plenty out of me over the years.



I can accept changes in players, coaches and results not always going our way but to potentially have another assistant come through under another Head Coach that has failed to improve the performances is something that I seriously have to question. On top of that the rumour that is seemingly gathering pace in a certain Paul cooke returning in some capacity for me would be the last straw.



With the latter how can a guy who walked out on a club and team mates leaving them high and dry command any sort of respect from anyone?



We have for the last decade tried and failed with moving assistants up to Head Coaches and if someone with the coaching experience that Gentle had struggled to turn things around at this club then I just can't see anything but another failure going down a similar road with Radford.

If Cooke is to become involved in our club again I will not be happy at all.



We're heading for Radford + Cooke? Really??

Wonder if it has the same outcome (Radford thumping Cooke)

Excellent post.

If we don't buy passes or don't attend when we can then we don't have a club !!! If as a customer you don't feel your getting value for money then don't go but if enough of you think and act like that then you must realize there won't be a club. Simple As !!

Seems some people don't realise money is in short supply these days and value for money is the 'key' point here.



I am not forking out for a pass to witness the toothless performances we have endured over recent seasons.



Plus allowing Cooke to be involved again is the final straw. He may say some sensible things in the HDM but he shouldn't be employed by the club he couldn't wait to walk out on.

I'm sure lots of supporters are considering taking up your suggestion.

Unfortunately that is what happens to companies whatever sector you are in if you continually provide your customer with a product that offers poor VFM they go and spend their hard earned money elsewhere, they do not have a right to continually expect it.



The fact Hull FC is a sports club will make no difference and if this is a real danger then the Club/Company need to react to its main customer base to keep it.



As much as I love the club I have always supported there is a limit to how much money I am prepared to waste (i dont have an infinite supply of cash) as that in all honesty is what I feel I am doing with it now and by the sounds of things I am not the only one having this feeling.

I have my season pass sorted for next season but don't begrudge anyone who has decided not to get one or is still debating whether to do so or not.
