How do you know Bonaire doesn’t go to games?

I can remember been at the Boulevard when I was younger with my grandad.
Surrounded by middle aged men who did nothing but complain/moan etc.
Guess what. They still turned up EVERY week, home and away.

Ask him. . Look I agree everyone entitled to there opinion. But how can anyone be so negative all the time? Just pulling Hull apart at every turn . Yet we win and nothing. Sorry but just doesn't sit right with me. But hey ho life goes on

Salford need to move players on, we should be having a look. Ackers top of the list.

Ackers and, even though he's getting on a bit, Watkins would be the 2 I'd look at. Saying that, if any deal involves a fee we won't be paying one

Trouble with Bonaire he's negative all the time. Of course with us doing crap ATM he's having a field day. If and it's a big if we start doing well he will disappear like he normally does. Noticed on the threads about Taylor and Shaul not a dickiebird from him. Never seems to go to matches yet takes the p.iss out of people that do. Just my opinion of course.

sorry but your biased opinion together with some of your mates mean Jack Sh-t now on here.
You are just one of the same bunch of blinkered old men who because you wear Hull FC shirts and tell us you attend matches you think you are above anyone else.
You have no idea whether i attend matches or how many passes my family have and i am not going to tell you suffice to say i did say on a post several months ago that my family had one of the first and best positioned boxes when they were built in the threepenny stand and even had one of the wooden sheds on the hill behind the goal before that.
Since then our sponsorship has not ceased.
We are all for meaningful debate and a bit of banter but take your blinkers off about the club.
We all love the club but the club has to earn the right to be a top club once again and not just expect fans to turn up in numbers and buy passes because we have added size in the forwards.

Bit of a catch 22 scenario. I think we all share disappointment at how things have been/are. We all manifest it differently.

I’m probably unreasonably negative towards the club. I say that because I’ve withdrawn an element of my modest investment to the club of late (passes and merchandise). I attend most away games, that’s it.

I accept when I whine about the club it lacks a bit of integrity because Pearson is not a benevolent sugar daddy. He’s put money in and he wants it back or a return on investment.

I’m well aware that it’s fans like me that are the biggest threat to improvement; the loss or reduction of previously guaranteed funding.

I’m actually reasonably pleased with the squad development under the circumstances and a couple of notable additions shows the club is indeed progressing despite the financial insecurity.

Any chance you two could just put each other on ignore?

Would definatley take Byrne from wigan

Upgrade on Fash and Brown.

Sao and Ese Ese to start
Pele and Byrne off the bench

With Ashworth/Okunbor at second row

Thatd be some pack size wise.

He’s aggressive and has that mongrel mentality that Wigan props have in spades - I’d take him but I think he’ll get a gig at Leigh or even Huddersfield before he’d look at East Yorkshire sometimes our location puts the UK players off and it’s always been a saying that the Lancashire lads don’t settle well - there are exceptions like Swift but I do think it has a bearing on things.
