Not me I'm afraid.
I'm a stay away fan, and will be for the foreseeable future, but that's purely because of family reasons.

But if purple are stating away because of boring rugby, i think it's about time you start going again, from what I've seen and heard, it's been some exciting stuff

on a side note, what great noise and great following by the black and white army again last night :BOW: :CLAP:

I went to the game last night and enjoyed the win immensely but one thing that let us down was idiot fans throwing drinks bottles, why pay the large prices for the drinks to end up throwing them on the pitch and also at our own fans, just don't understand the mentality of it.

First year I haven't had a pass in 15 years but due to finances.
I hopefully be going next week and helps with the turn around in form

I've give he club much stick over the last few years (most of which I still feel was justified) and this year is the first time in approx 20 years without a pass but I'll be giving them another chance on Friday.

The Rovers game last week was a good example of the jeckl and Hyde nature of HullFC, the first 60mins was dire, dreary stuff that has driven thousands of fans away, the last 20 showed flair, commitment and effort that will get the fans back. It's up to the players and coach to keep this run going and repair the damage caused of years of decline.

The Wakefield game was dreadful to watch but at least we won and maybe their recent form puts our performance into context.

For someone to label others as not "proper Hull FC fans" or "fickle fans" for making a personal choice is ludicrous and pompous especially given the carp served up especially under Agar and latterly Radford.
And yes attendances were still high under Agar but that showed how loyal those fans you now label as "not proper fans" were.
Poop on the field, no success (again), false promises by new owner and importantly undermining a level of improvement with yet again an unproven cheap option has proven to be very, very costly.
Will some fans come back, of course...if we continue in this vein, will we get back to regular 13/14k home gates, no, it'll take at least a season or two of success or at the very least really competing and playing good rugby.

One point to make, scientific studies show that playing at home is no real advantage, in fact can be detrimental due to expectation of fans and pressures that can put on players. It isn't proven that cheering home crowds motivate players/professional sportspeople any more than they would normally display in front of empty terraces.
Not that cheering when we are winning/making a comeback is bad for the fans scientifically at least there's evidence to support it makes little difference to increase performance.


1. When did we nearly get relegated? I must have missed that one.
2. Show me the link to the "scientific study" with regards to home advantage. If playing at home has no advantage then why of the 10 sporting divisions that I have just referenced do 80% of all teams have a better home record? You are quoting rhetoric with no basis on fact.

Personally I would not class you as a stay away fan if there are outside factors involved as to why you cannot go. Its more those who choose to stay away I am thinking of.

for several years I was, lets say, geographically challenged and it was impossible for me to attend. It did not stop me supporting the club though.

I sort of get those who quote the last two years results / performances. That said, when Radford was appointed, was it not the case that Pearson stated that the club had been poorly managed (no youth set up) and that those he trusted (McRae / Gentle) had given out very generous contracts and there would be a period of time to sort this out. Not such a case of a transitional period, but a clearing of drift wood?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but those who have said in the past "I won't go again until Radford is out" would surely be cutting their noses off to spite their faces?

Of the games we have lost, Cas were the better side on the night, Wigan took the points off a brain fart of an off load, Widnes wiped the flour with us. We then do what we needed to do against Wakey, did rovers in the best comeback win I have seen, Wire were 100%, St's away is never a gimme.

I would urge those who are undecided to back the team and the club this Friday against Hudds.

Here's a dictionary definition of fickle:

"changeable, inconsistent; inconstant in one's affections"

What's pompous and lazy about defining supporters who only attend when the team is winning as the above ? It's exactly the right definition. Nobody is saying it's wrong to be changeable or inconsistent with support - but there's no denying that there are several thousand people who fall into this category. It's the same at most clubs and always has been and will be. People who fall into that category shouldn't be too sensitive about being labelled as fickle. In the same way diehards shouldn't worry about being labelled in that way. It's diehards who keep clubs afloat when they are not doing well. That's undeniable.

Yet the diehards are often classed as the happy clappers by a few on here.

I also think the same could be applied to the display against rovers,they were actually very good for that first hour and they have followed it up with 2 good performances,how many teams could pull that game out of the fire.
