Obviously the losses are real, but I don't believe it's as bad as people say, I think we're nowhere near going bust I believe this is a ploy by Adam to get people to buy passes for next season and to get fans through the gates now.

The issue with the smc and lease is concerning and needs sorting but I firmly believe it will get resolved and everyone will be happy.

The absolute glee from rovers fans on social media over this is pathetic, they have nothing over us on the field and can not match our recent success that they have to resort to points scoring over our financial situation, if we've made a loss then it stands to reason that most clubs have made a loss which puts the game in an even more precarious position .

If the £1.2m was a working loss the bank I would suspect.

I haven't seen the accounts, so not sure, Pearson did say the bank wouldn't help us last year.

Maybe the SMC and RFL also.

The stadium is our biggest problem the rent is just ridiculous

But I'm not worried cause we're a big club with a decent fan base

And 99% of sport teams esp football are all in huge debts miles bigger than our debts

Don’t like to see any club in financial difficulty. You are surely suggesting that FC fans would not do exactly the same are you if the boot wa# on the other foot?

Football clubs are in far bigger holes look at Derby Bury Macclesfield for example

Clubs in championship spending 60,000 a week on some players on crowds of 20,000 shows why football is in the state it is

Clubs spending more than 100% of the income on wages/transfers

Things need to happen now.

The reason why he’s referencing HKR is because he’s probably aware of the cut price deal they got for Caravan Park, and the debts owed to HCC that has been written off.

Glad we got the win in 2016. As long as there is a piece of turf with a team in irregular hoops I’ll be there, whichever the division.

Still be the biggest RL club in Hull.

All joking and banter aside mate, you’re not.

Not any more.

All you have now is the name and your playing squad.

You’re in our shadow now.

Being hearing for years that Rovers are ready to be the number one club, but it reality it has never happened. Not really even close, once they actually achieve something other than talking a good game can they claim to be the top team in Hull.

Were miles bigger than rovers always have been and always will be

We could be bottom of league 1 and rovers top of super league and we'd still be a bigger draw

Re: Hull FC 2021 Accounts : Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:24 pm  

Manchester City paid £35m in agent's fees last year - we're all doomed.
