You don't and it's not my preferred option of course. But if fans choose to deprive the club of funds needed to survive at this level because we're not playing top 4 champagne rugby, then that's the financial reality. We are where we are, which you say is skint. Generate more funds when fans are staying away = selling what you have and entering a doom loop.

You've no need to preach to me, i go and always will, blindly pouring thousdans more into the club.
I know what you mean, and think all the "familiy" here do.
Its those not on here who dont go who need something to ignite a passion and desire to go.
Sadly Ears doesnt, and from an outsider (those not following all that is churned out by the club) the view that AFP has gone to work for Leeds doesnt inspire either.
So we have another couple of options, you could become chief marketing officer or AFP could get lots of body art done including a facial tattoo of "We all 8 Leeds, I'm Hull FC for life"

I posted a few weeks ago when AP landed the Sheffield Wednesday job that the club should look to employing a CEO and with the Leeds United being full time ( and his in his preferred profession) I would have thought a RL CEO would have been a big priority. If the rumour is right about finances then it is understandable AP has promoted from within but IMO it's not ideal. If the rumours about Koucash being involved were from a credible source, rather than social media then I am sure the local (and national) press would have picked up on it by now. And if it was AA then I reckon hull fans would have a genuine cause to worry. Like another poster pointed out there is a definite shortage of prospective buyers queuing up to buy Super League clubs so any fan wishing AP to move on should think again, otherwise it could be Gateshead mark 2.
