No, I mean a club with more than 6000 fans

The things I've seen in Leeds Ibis budget. The only hotel with a bouncer at the lifts.

Sounds like a party to me.

You really hate Cas don't you? Our support level is right up with yours when you look at respective populations.

Radford is a top coach and seems like a down to earth sort when I listen to him.

He was and we weren't.

No I don't hate cars at all, it's just an element of your fan base are getting carried away with a decent half season.

That was about 15 years ago to be fair. I think he's improved a bit in the interim

Why does that upset you? It's what fans do. The common thread through all the "big club" forums is one of irritation that a small club ( with more than 6000 fans) dares to trespass on their divine right to superiority. You should be encouraging Cas because it's the financially poorer clubs Pearson raids to find players, and someone has to produce them now Hull seems unable to. How is Hull FC academy going?

Every club has fans that get carried away with a modicum of success.

I can assure there are plenty on here and lets be honest, you have only had a modicum of success.

Pearson raids poorer clubs for players?? Really?? Think Hull FC are doing ok with bringing through our home grown youth since Pearson took over the club and invested in the youth development that had seriously been neglected under previous owners. The last couple of seasons has seen a greater success in this in terms of players coming through to the senior team such as Logan, Turget, Fash, Downs, Matongo, Litten following on from the likes of Houghton, Shaul, Bowden, Hadley.

Its takes time to nuture these players and wont happen overnight after years of under funding in that area and the way the sport in general is run in terms of youth development.
Thanks to Pearson investing heavily in this area for our club with a Coach who supports youth development we as a club are now starting to see the benefits of Pearsons investment and plan for future home grown players.
