So which one of you was it that claimed that we were in real danger of being relegated?

We are officially the 2nd best team in the country. No chance of a shift in power just yet eh?

I can see a massive shift in power very soon.
with Hull fc gates getting smaller HKRs getting bigger
a new super stadium going to happen in east hull.
Rovers on the up
Hull fc going further down the league 7th at the moment.
And with the financial situation Hull in the red (figures to be released soon)
Rovers with money to spend.
The whole squad at rovers playing as a team and enjoying there rugby
Hull fc with in fighting john kerr to be sacked sooner rather than later
players not wanting to play.
things certainly look more rosy at craven park.
who knows hull may get relegated this season and rovers may go up.
Hull fc playing with no heart or passion getting stuffed at home.
Rovers playing with flair and pride.
Rovers having one of the very best playing surfaces in rugby league.
Hull fc having a shared cabbage patch to play on.
I rest my case

Hmmm......

Comments made at a time when many of your own fans stated that they had never felt so ashamed of their club.

All were true at the time of writing
and some are still true today
(Hull fc gates getting smaller) true will be even smaller this coming season
Hull fc will finish 4th if you're very lucky this season.

since when have our gates been getting smaller??

our gates rose by around 200 IIRC last season
so please dont post stuff without facts.

also we sold 1,000 season passes in a DAY, thats 1/3 your average attendance last season, in one days sale.

so sorry, not particualrly worried by our crowds

as for finishing 4th, who knows, i expect SL to be the most competitive its ever been, so i wouldent be bothered by finishing 4th (by a narrow margin) as we'd still get a shot at getting to the final again. As long as we are competitive again, ill be happy.

your budgeting on crowds of around 12500
your actual average att is around 10600 so your club is working on a short fall.
we are budgeting on crowds of 4500 for this coming season
take it from me our average crowds will be 6000+
so we will be making money Hull will be losing money yet again.
