We travel in great numbers and support the team, but then we have a home Match and we are getting beat so after 65 minutes we all just March out, when Wigan fans are taking the mickey waving bye to us that I know how low we have stooped, they must of been less then 2k at full time, and we go on about been the best fans in rugby league ONLY WHEN WE ARE WINNING, and to all you that will say we have a right to do what we want cos we pay our hard earned money to go, sorry that doesn't wash with me, no matter what we shouldn't act like that and just walk cos we are getting beat, if you think it will make Pearson act your very wrong he'll just take his money and go and that will be it for hull fc, because we won't exist anymore

Totally disagree. Hull FC fans are the best in rugby league.

Collectively we've been sold short and delivered underperformance for the last 10 years yet it's only relatively recently that the fans have shown their frustration.

The club has taken fans loyalty for granted for too long in my opinion.

Boulevard was such an intrinsic part of our identity, ever since we moved to the soulless football ground - we ceased to exist as the same set of fans.

I dont think we are the worst but we are worryingly starting to turn into rovers fans.The shouts of forward coming from the East Stand are starting to get embarrassing

Oh FFS. :roll:

No. Of course we aren't. We're no better or worse than any other sports fans on the planet.

By "take his money", I assume you mean "cut his losses"?

I do sort of agree with your sentiment though. Our fans are baling out due to lack of winning, unentertaining rugby but more importantly lack of confidence in improvement.

Reading this I think you have the biggest mood swings...

I think you'll find you're no different ot any other set of fans in the country (or world) when it comes to walking out when taking a tonking. The fact you state you take big numbers and still have one of the better average attendances states that you can't be the worst.

I do wonder about the whole top 8 split thing though after watching that, Hudge stated that qualifying could be detrimental to pass sales going forward and he may have had a point (albeit one that was only ever going to sound like trying to make a bad position look good). Now don't get me wrong I don't want our club in the relegation scrap that we're going into BUT there is a part of me that wouldn't relish the thought of seeing the season end in a series of noncompetitive losses.

I've said for a while unless your one of the current top 3 the super 8 will be a boring comp, the middle 8 will be better for spectators, just would have rather been cheering teams on against you rather than biting my nails worrying about us.

Never have and never will leave a game before the final whistle. I think it's an insult to the lads putting there body's on the line while wearing the hull FC badge on there chest . You don't see our fans leaving early at away games when we are getting beat , agree about the kc atmosphere tho (I think a standing area would bring a lot more noise the games) . Hoping to convince my uncle and cousin to love seats next season as I don't think o can take much more of the moaning git in front of me .

Best away fans in the league without a doubt

Thats the problem both sets of fans worry more what the other is doing and the sooner they get out of that the better.The problem is fans expectations are far from reality either side were never going to trouble the top sides and when we fail seem surprised ?? Leeds ,Wigan Saints ect are streets ahead and although both sides have taken some scalps its were you are at the business end what counts and we are way off.Both side have some very good players but also have some very average ones.I have said it before and say it again expectations from both sets of fans is unrealistic with the squads we have.

Absolutely spot on.

The difference this year to season gone by is that in the past we would have a poor performance in the play offs and pack up and go home. This year we have another 7 weeks of misery to look forward to. I genuinely hope I am wrong, but given the lack of heart, desire and commitment last night I fear the worst.

In answer to the opening question, I fail to see how anybody can question the fans commitment. Since 2006 we have been served up dross with the odd highlight. I think this season is now begining to show that many will not take it any longer. AP will have to do some amazing marketing to pull things round for 2016. I certainly don't see how one or two "star" signings is going to make a massive difference.
