Still think it's touch and go on the clubs finances. Can't see how half a season of improvement will mean we're out of the woods yet.
I've been critical of LR in the past, but he's given me a team that is full of heart and good to watch. I'll happily eat humble pie though and admit I'm wrong.
Does that make me a happy clapper?

A good cup run would be very helpful. It's great that the core fanbase has been re-energised, but the challenge is bringing back another couple of thousand fans to support what the club is doing. If we can maintain performance levels over the next month and win against Catalans, hopefully there'll be some decent crowds for the business end of the year, and more merchandise that goes with it.

I know for sure that
a/ because of our performances we will have seen people attend that otherwise wouldn't have - so we are currently in a better position that could probably have been expected
b/ Idiot Allam and his lunatic concession scrap is going to see more fans attend FC. Even if it's a couple of hundred.

So far Hull City have sold just under 10,000 memberships for next season. That's two thousand down as it stands on the Championship season just gone.

Unsurprising. However, the bandwagon element will no doubt see this figure beaten. That's not in any way meant to be a slight.

I know 3 people who take their boy to City now but are all coming to Fc next season (2 of the adults still going to City).

The best thing is that the decision in 2 cases are that of the young lads that find the games at City boring but have enjoyed the rugby

Mrs B does have her own opinions, you don't. Big decision coming up, in or out of EU. Let me guess, you don't know?
