Interesting thread from the start on the year, I think we are well on the way to achieving everyone's expectations.

This is another good thread, I have noticed a couple posters who said they were finished on here have started to re appear, maybe hoping nobody would notice.

And yes I am bored on a Sunday night.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Slightly awkward.

As fan of over 20 years it pains me to say this, but this is he point our years of decline are in danger of becoming a terminal spiral.

Yet another disappointing home display, the team didn't even turn up for about 20/30mins, gave a distinctly average Catalan a head start, and somehow allowed them to win when they've been hammered every week when visiting the UK.

Same collection of issues that have dogged us for years, no attacking game plan, poor kicking, awful conversion attempts. Failure to turn up for 80mins. No different attacking moves to all the other 'close but got no points' games we've had in the Radford era. I think most fans are realistic and didn't expect a classic today, 7th versus 8th in a dead rubber was never going to be, but we do expect effort for the full game. The young kids did better over the last few weeks than the experienced pro's on display today. Catalan's were also a lot smarter with their play, often playing for penalties and slowing the game down, something we never seem to do.

Crowds and the atmosphere are at their lowest point, Pearson admitted there was only 6,500 in the ground last week and there can't have been any more than that today despite some free/cheap tickets in the North stand. The fans are voting with their feet, in increasing numbers.

I can only plead with Pearson to admit he made a mistake in hiring Radford, and go out and hire an experienced head coach, which would restore confidence and most fans would renew next year and give the team a chance.

I had already decided not to renew my pass next year based on poor performances over the last year and a half, but today really was the final straw, after yet another week of hype in the media 'going to end with a bang' we went out with a whimper. We have signed some quality players next year but it's backs we need more than forwards. We are also losing Lineham and Paea who are quality players who we will miss.

Some posters on here may be glad to hear that after over 20 years of support and approx 11 years posting on here this will be my last thread. This isn't the club I fell in love with, it's a badly managed sinking ship and I can't see anything changing anytime soon. Over and out!

:lol:

"The Slow Death of Hull FC" post was frankly embarrassing.

Also good to see that we are very close to securing a top four spot meaning that Radford avoids bumpy's firing squad.

Reckon he'll go for a blowpipe and a paper dart created from his pathetic petition as opposed to a shooter.
