Of course people WERE writing our season off, we'd lost 13 on the bounce or had you conveniently forgotten that with your super power of hindsight?

I'm pleased we've won our last 2 and hope we've turned a corner for the good but let's not get too carried away yet, it's still early days but 2 from 4 is encouraging.

Whilst I'm pleased to see Ellis back as he is a quality player and leader it also disappoints me slightly at the same time that we've had to bring a 37 year old player out of retirement to give the team that spark that has been missing and that none of our other new signings are good enough to fill the gaps instead.

we have lost 2 this year, last years don't count, agree about ellis but if he can give us some leadership all well and good, I still don't think Houghton should be captain, ratu seems to be going well, bienik still early days, dawson was going ok till he got injured, Thompson is solid, langtree and Leroy might not get a run for the first team esp with players coming back, it is very early days, why the need for sarcastic comments? cant you just put your point across without the child like digs?

Which season did we go back to Sunday's? Was we playing well and being successful at the time?

Our feats of 2016 and 2017, will have brought a lot of fans back and gained us some new ones.

The childish like dig as you call it was in response to my percieved perception of your post.

You posted "only 2 weeks ago people where writing our season off,"

That was in my opinion a dig at the people who were not happy with our previous predicament.

You and a few others are only to happy to collectively round on people who voice displeasure at the club, even if some do make it a habit that's their prerogative.

I do apologise if I've misinterpreted your post however.

I do disagree with you because of course last years count. They cannot be dismissed. The significant losing run could become habit forming, it plays on staff and fans minds alike and is the basis for contract renewals and dismissals.

I was fearing the worst at half time Sunday as both teams were dire and our only try came from a Westerman error. Fortunately we turned it around at half time.
Acid test for me is now Friday and how we perform, win or lose and back up on our recent wins.

We played mostly Sundays at home in 2012 which was a reasonably good season especially at home as we only lost once. Attendances dropped from 2011 in nine out of the thirteen games though. The idea that fans will flock to the KCOM on a Sunday and that the number of away fans will rise is a fallacy. We played a couple of home games in 2015 on Sundays against Cas and Wakey and the attendances were 10,949 and 9,558.

But we get more time in the pub after, bring back Sundays

Connor out 6 weeks apparently.

I hardly think figures from 2012 or even 2015 are relevant to current times and its not a fallacy to say a regular Sunday Super League programme would not attract more away fans to grounds.
There is far more marketing now by the club to advertise and promote weekend games than in 2012 and 2015.
We are a well supported club when playing away but had the game against Huddersfield been on a Friday then possibly 500 would have traveled yet on Sunday over 2000 fans made the journey.
That revenue for Huddersfield is huge and also welcome to our club for those who purchased tickets from Hull FC.
Whilst Sky are in control it wont happen but get back to a regular Sunday Super League programme with one live match on a friday night and one live match at 18.00 on a Sunday and get the fans back into the grounds watching live instead of sitting at home in front of the TV watching SKY.

Yeh I agree about Friday , from what I've seen of Leeds in they opening away games , they've been a bit unlucky and played at a good intensity, poor against wakey, but will definitely be better Friday , plus Leeds always beat us , hoping for a good turn out and a big hull effort

You are in dream land.

Facts are facts, Sunday games do not boost attendances, especially in summer when families have far more options over how to spend their time than they did in the past.
