So what does it take to become an (ex) fan?

    Who cares what happens to those who dont renew. It is there loss afterall.

    Have been told that some will simply follow the team to away games and boycott the home games.

    It would be a real shame, if those who had up to this point been our most loyal supporters, were to miss out on the big game's due to being at the back of the ticket allocation process.

    One of my old school friends stopped following us decades ago when we were in the depths of despair. At the time he switched to Hull FC when they were successful. Initialy I thought he was being disloyal. However, it was more of a switch from the despair of those destroying football in general. He never had any interest in rugby before this and it was always city at heart. I honestly expected him to join the party again when we started our journey of achievement. To my suprise he never changed back and to this day finds more passion in following the rugby. Whatever I thought back then at least he cannot be classed as jumping on our bandwagon of success, he never got back on it.

    Obviously we should be seeing major growth in our support during the most successful period in our history.

    Managing to lose some of our longest standing fans at this time is quite some achievement.

    I think there's the potential for an Ipswich gag in this thread...

    I could never think of being an ex-fan, I was regularly asked when it looked like we were going out of business who I would support. I could never answer it. I certainly couldn't not support City whilst they are still going, no matter which league we are in.

    Those renewing season passes...

    Buy a pass for a son or daughter.
    Nephew or Neice grandson grandaughter and let's get the next generation involved.

    It's pretty cheap for a kids pass.

    Let's replace those who are not going anymore .

    Hull City or nothing for me , If I ever stopped going I'd do something completely different with the time/money I spend at the moment

    The club is still called Hull City though despite the best efforts of the Allams to pretend otherwise

    no. the season finished quite a few weeks ago. when i did go, it was for the entertaining games that meant summat and not the boring chelsea, man utd, arsenal, etc predictable non-events. my hope is that the club eventually create a pass for the handful of games that matter. the fact is that the games against the financial pigs mean nowt. City have 20 home and away games per season to achieve their annual success which is 4th from bottom! i am indeed an ex hull city fan holding a pass for the more than 20 years or so since i've been able to afford it. first home game 1968 by the way.....first away game at hillsborough when stu pearson got sent off for calling the ref an onion, whilst winning 2 - 1, but going on to lose 4 - 2. i can't remember the year but happy days all the same!!!

    See you missed out Liverpool from that list. League runners up, who we beat. We also gave Man Utd a great game here.

    You become an ex-fan when you die. And then only if reincarnation isnt real. If it is then even after you die you still have a chance to be a fan.
