Quote ="Mild Rover"I think fan resistance from both sides to the idea was what prevented a merger, whoever's name was above the door.
Rovers forum, so as long as the thread is a Rovers-centric view of this interesting period of RL history, that is fine. We don't need a thread to slag off the doings of Hull FC of 10-15 years ago.
There's plenty of fresher stuff to go after, if we weren't above that sort of thing. Which we are, of course.

I understand that a new book is being published about the problems in sport and the financial situation most clubs are in. The only reference to Rugby League is the 2 Hull clubs and the dark days of the merger. Thats the only reason for the post. I did not realise that Hull had gone out of business, I thought it was just the Gateshead merger/takeover.
The sports finance book when its published will be mostly to do with football I guess. Dave the Rugby League reporter with the face hair is writing about our club.
