I want Hull FC to be very successful in the long term. The short term is much less important.

Losing hurts too much. All this short and long term stuff is just noise.

IMO being a fan should never involve wanting your team to lose games, bigger picture or not. That's pretty much what defines being a fan in fact. Hence me not being able to see how those who want us to lose can call themselves fans.
And the really laughable part is that there's no guarantee it'll make any difference.
BTW I'm not sure that not having a pop at people who want their team to win is any kind of generous gesture.

Does "being a true fan" mean actually going to the odd game ?

| I find near impossible to hope Hull lose any match, I can well understand peoples reasons for wishing so. It does not make them bad fans or disloyal we all want the club to succeed it after all. Sometimes you need to have a lot of pain to achieve anything, its never been easy being an FC fan but we know when things arn't right.

The red n shiites did that to us in the early 80's when they lost at leigh

Didn't know that, a bit before my time.
I do find it bizarre that anyone can say they'd rather put up with Rovers fans crowing for the next gazillion years about winning the league than have to endure FC losing one league game.

It's just the ones who live away from Hull
Anyway, we lose so many games what difference does another one make?

Edited for accuracy.
Not saying that the sting of defeat wouldn't be somewhat tempered in such a hypothetical situation, mind.

| what an utterly ridiculous statement wanting your OWN team to lose, the one you are SUPPOSED to SUPPORT,
thats not a supporter in my eyes. I want rid of Agar but NEVER want FC to lose. EVER.

1981-82.
We needed to beat Widnes at home and required Rovers to win at Leigh. We won but so did Leigh.
IIRC our game finished some time before the Leigh game and many fans stayed at The Boulevard to hear the score from Leigh.
Cost us the double that season.

| Some people want to win today only to lose tomorrow, others would rather lose today and win tomorrow.
I'd prefer to have the last laugh.

Agar will be fired on 15th July after the Leeds Rhino's game. This is 100% true because when I was window cleaning the Hetherington's household I heard Gary say, "Love, sack that clown after you play us again so we can get another 2 easy points!"
Watch this space!

| I vaguely remember about 14/15 years ago Leeds United were playing Arsenal at home . Leeds were in 4th spot and it was the final game of the season . Win , lose , or draw we were finishing in 4th . Arsenal required a single point out of the game to finish top . A lot of us were debating about wether it mattered if we lost that evening . A loss or a draw would have meant Arsenal pipping Scumchester to the title . We won ( 2-1 iirc) that night , and Scum won the title . Very mixed emotions , but ATEOTD a win is a win . The noise at Elland Road was deafening at the final whistle . I wanted a draw . The win was double-edged . No way would I have wanted us to lose though . I can't understand how any fan could want their team to lose .
