Just been having a conversation about all things Hull FC, with the topic of Richard Agar coming up, which got me to thinking about how he (Agar) has divided the 'Old Faithful' fans.



So what are your thoughts about Rich Agar?

-Is he the man for the job?

-His contribution to Hull FC?

-How many games to save his job?

-Who would/do you want as Coach?

etc...

no point discussing old thoughts and opinions, better to discuss actual games/squad rotation/tactics in a few months when we've played some games.

Here we go again!!

as a neutral here (if i'm allowed to give an opinion ?)



am I not right in saying that Hull had the largest number of season ticket holders in the SL last season ?

That indicates to me that someone is doing something right !

no, it's an indication of the dedication of the supporters and a blind faith in FC.

great to hear you have such dedicated support,good luck to you all

No Leeds and Wigan had more.

one thing that has never been in doubt is the dedication of the Faifthful, and that isn't just SP holders either, I know many "walk up" fans that are just as dedicated, they just can't find that kind of cash at the time of year it's needed.

So what are your thoughts about Rich Agar?

-Is he the man for the job? The results turned around last season so lets see.

-His contribution to Hull FC? Has to be credited for getting the experience of Fitz and Ogre in last year and getting Westerman and Sharp in now who are not exactly rookies but still young enough to improve even more.

-How many games to save his job? any improvement on last year and his job will be safe.

-Who would/do you want as Coach? Agar at the moment

etc...

Recruitment wise has been decent apart from his struggles for a playmaker what isnt coming to the end of there career or injury prone. His very dull 5 drives and a kick apart from being very boring to watch tells me that his tactics are poor and just hides behind the fact its not his fault its the playmakers there injured. Would be interesting to see what we do with a fit 6 and 7 for most of the year. Agar is a decent coach but a club of fcs size and the strong fanbase this club has really should have a much high profile coach at the helm plus a big named well respected coach would be a big help bringing over the big names of the NRL.

ok,sorry about that - it's just that I was reading The 18th Man,number 14 (Hull v Leeds last home game) 2010 where your CE James Rule says 'record numbers have followed their team this season with over 9500 season passes sold,a figure which could well be the highest in SL this season....'

Is there anywhere with such stats available ?

Waiting for someone to light the fuse....
