fans stood in the well smoking and sitting kids on their shoulders obstructing views, yes we did ask them not too, also a dog with its owner constantly barking throughout the game!
I have been a season ticket holder for years and never encountered the problems you have, sorry to hear of them.
As for the owner with the dog, was it a golden labrador? If so I suspect it is the partially sighted fan who regularly goes home and away. Admittedly the dog never shuts up.
Unlike the KCom Stadium, there are many unreserved seats in the East Stand at Belle Vue. So if you have bad experiences like you describe you could easily move to another seat with a better view.

didnt see the dog, just heard it all match, wasn't sure if it was a sight dog but thought it had to be some kind of aid for the fan
next year if we decide to sit we will move more central
Not strictly 2017 fixture related...but says in the HDM that Pearson has had discussions with the RFL about getting 'big' fixtures to the KC, following us being snubbed for both playing the Kiwi's in our 150th anniversary (they played Leeds instead) and this years World Club Championship. It seems he wants us to play New Zealand/Australia as a friendly. And also is pushing for us to get a decent World Cup game.
Of course he is probably more interested now as he's hoping to be part of the winning Hull City/SMC bid.
all well and good but as we know with international RL, there will be no plan for whats going in in 2019, and venues will be picked at last minute!

The WC is 5 years away yet, so a good 3 years at least before venues will be announced. With the bid team saying the majority of games will be in the heartlands, I imagine the KCOM will be one of those chosen. Probably a QF and high-profile group game.
2018 the 4 Nations is scheduled for Aus.
2019 is apparently going to be a GB Tour.
2020 the 4 Nations is back over here.
There doesn't seem to be much opportunity until 2019 at the least (depending on what they do). Our game is crying out for mid-season International tests. Looking at that there'll be no competitive International RL played in this country for three years 2016-2019, which is very poor.

They should do a 6 nations style tournament mid season, England only picking their UK based players would level the playing field a bit and getting France, Ireland, Italy & Wales playing regular games is the only way they will improve. But of course the SL clubs wont be up for it.

Not sure where you've gotten your info from, but last I heard there was going to be no more 4 Nations and it's being replaced with an 8-team Confederations Cup tournament.
Hull FC’s full pre-season schedule is as follows: Monday 26th December (Boxing Day) - Castleford Tigers (A), 1:30pm Sunday 8th January - Hull KR (H), 2pm* Sunday 29th January - Salford Red Devils, (A), 3pm Sunday 5th February – Doncaster (A), 3pm -
Thought the break between rovers and salford would be where the training camp would be but HDM reckon they're looking to add another fixture, unless they do one the same weekend with the 19s/first team playing separate games the same weekend.
