Pearson has annoyed many of your own supporters. Hugge merely said he did not want to continue paying out to the tune of £500,000 per year and was looking for further investment. How could he attract investment unless he said he needed it? Your club appears to be in a financial mess with falling sponsorship and attendances, information supplied by Pearson himself. Your response is to try and deflect attention from this mess by erroneously comparing the situation with a different scenario at another club. Well done, it must make you feel a lot better trying to show that KR is in the same financial mess as FC.
Read the post, I wrote "not a good comparison, I admit". I'm not trying to deflect anything onto anyone. Hate to admit it but I'm a secret admirer of "He who shall not be named" for his dedication and support of his team. We could do with a few like minded sponsors at FC. We've got enough knee jerk responders of our own on this board, without you chiming in. Sorry for any offence caused.

If FC were a restaurant you'd just go to the restaurant across the street. Where are you going to go to watch rugby? KR , Donny , Wakey? You've made an emotional - and financial - investment in Hull FC and that makes it way different to any other "buyers market". I agree though what Pearson is saying , like food from a poor restaurant , sticks in the throat!

If a club paying a peppercorn rent, Super League funding, 7,500 gates and playing more games than most other teams, can't make money, our problems are trivialised in comparison.

I think you'll find the majority of RL clubs are in financial trouble just with different levels of nervousness about the major backer where the cash is coming from. Financially this will probably be our best year since promotion with the CF money but I reckon it'll still be a loss which is always worrying.
The thing is that as fans we will never know how bad that trouble is until it goes bang. You've got AP saying that its a bad situation and I think the comparison with NH was a good comparison just that they are approaching it in a different manner. NH's was a rallying call to investors with a byline to let the fans know it was bad, Ap has addressed the fans with a byline to investors.
Bottom line is I think we all realise that RL is never a game where anyone is going to make big bucks off the back of it.

I'm beginning to warm to you, but that doesn't mean we're engaged, or anything, plus I'll always dislike your pestilential club

Well that's pretty clear, but why did you think anything that comes out of the HDM is accurate and how did you get to your £2.5M less income over that period? because even with a 1,000 per match average drop over 4 years that still wouldn't tally up, not even close. FYI I took the attendances straight from the club which obvs includes pass sales, attending or not it doesn't matter as the income is in the bag either way. We also had the biggest attendance for the derby game at the KC this year since before 2011, it was 2,403 up on last year in fact, 750 more than 2011. I'm sick of all this BS being spun, passes have increased in price since 2011 and with the aggregate attendance only dropping off 3% since that time plus all the extra money from the cup games in 2013 this massive drop off in income from fans through the door over said 4 year period is rubbish!
