I don't think that Adey would argue that point.

Hardly. The argument is irrefutable, unfortunately. Had that been Hudds today not Hull, the stadium would have been less than 1/3 full.

Get ready for gates of 5-6k when we play Celtic and Catalans.

I'd just like to say from a Rhino, I hope you get the players to pull their fingers out soon. SL is a better place with a fully fit and competitive Bulls.

I won't attempt to offer any suggestions regarding improving the current situation, other than to say you all need to rally round the club whilst it sorts itself out. If the revenue drops then so does the quality of the employees, its the same in any business.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

There is no reason at all to suppose that any of McDermott, Lowes or Harrison would be any better than what we have. None of them have "done" anything and it would be change for change's sake.

If you were looking for a replacement coach then the only place to look would be Australia. Why? Because such a person would have a good chance of knowing and being able to attract some highly promising young halfbacks which is something we ain't gonna get this side of the equator.

BTW one chap who we have missed out on is our very own former halfback Ivan Henjak, who is of course now top man at Brisbane. Now that's the sort of contacts that get you great players you've never heard of.

Whilst I agree with you, anyone you could afford from Aus wont have "done anything" on the coaching front.
How about Deacon as player coach?

How about Noble? Guessing he could be laying his hands on a P45 in the near future!

One final point, what have you done with the money you were going to pay Greg Bird? I'm guessing that was a pretty sizeable sum, and could be put to very good use with a little thought....

Here we go again! when things do not go according to expectations. shoot someone preferably the coach as he's the one open to influence. Well I dont buy it, When stuff starts to go tits up it does not take a lot of effort to spiral downwards. however to first arrest the decline and then to improve takes superhuman effort. The team are not putting in the effort, in training or on the pitch, too many players think they are owed an easier ride. so the coaching staff have to concentrate on the lesser known "stars". it's not the done thing to sack stars on big bucks it would take braver men financially than Hood or Macca to do that. we may be in the doldrums for a season or two ( have I said this before?). But we're bigger than the sack em and hang em out to dry clubs. We have to get behind the club, beleive in our younger playing staff and the current coaches it's not their training schedules that are to blame but the players reluctance to give 100%. Have faith and keep your powder dry. they wont be any miracles or quick fixes no matter who's in charge next season. Anyway we wont be relegated yet

Well done Adey. You've completely ignored my point and picked one tiny little detail for your response. The only thing the crowds will do while the team continue to play as they do is dwindle and decrease

You apear to all be worried about dwindling crowds ,what was the attendance the last time Hull came to Odsal?
