shirt sales,, are you on something ,most clubs are in the mire yours included, pearson will lose a fortune this year and so will other funding chairmen,you seem to be making a competition out of this you sick count

I agree about 2013, but, be fair, the RLWC2021 team are WAY ahead of 2013 or 2017 in advance PR, marketing, fixtures, ticketing, social media etc etc. Scarely a day goes by without posts on one or all three of the trophies up for grabs on Twitter etc , and in business communications they put up posts/announcements on LinkedIn more than once a week. It will be many months before we know if their strategy is working, but they are giving it a good shot this time.

First of all I'd just like to say thanks to Neil, after about nineteen ninety three / four, I'd really lost interest and he's the person that made me rediscover my passion for Rovers. The last sixteen years, even accounting for the downs have been a lot more fun that the preceding sixteen that's for sure!

I really can't see Neil just swanning off to Salthouse Tavern without having some sort of plan in place for the club to continue to attempt to grow, he's invested too much both personally and financially to just let all that go down the (Holderness) drain.

Some very nice and appreciated comments from the Hull fans.

That's fair comment and as you say...It will be several months before we know if the current PR marketing is working. One thing is for sure though . It can't be any worse than the previous attempts which were in my view abysmal.

please don't think Adler is indicative of FC fans, banter aside, Hudgell has given everything to KR over the years, certainly been a more reliable custodian than a certain other solicitor was. A big loss for you guys, and like you, I can see Pearson being next, you can't keep pumping money in when the sport sells it's soul for free pizza!

good post bud , 2 teams in superleague is great for the city and rl in genera,,l and would not want to any team go to the wall, more so one of ours under these circumstances

ultimately we are a rugby town, both sides of the river. I was born down Newland Ave, moved to West Hull villages, lived in Mansfield, Worcester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, but Hull is home. I now live within 5 minutes of Craven Park, you can take a boy out of Hull, but you can't take Hull out of the boy!

I just hope both clubs get through this, no relegation may have been the lever Hudgell wanted to make what must be a huge decision for him, nobody can ever doubt his love for KR, or think that the months ahead for all clubs are anything other than uncertain.

Hey hey - roll on December and no buyers in sight
What’s he do then ? Merger or in reality a surrendered takeover would be the only real alternative to limping on with the squad on half wages compared to Salford

I’ll call it now - Friendly take over or extinction

Can I again distance myself from this individual. An FC /KR merger makes sense, to anyone who isnt from Hull. We pull bigger crowds than Huddersfied or Salford, we may be have a river between, but we certainly stand side by side.

We’ll roll on the weekend when your lot get beat again you will go away again idiot

I'm really not for one censorship or telling MR what to do as I certainly couldn't be bothered to do what he's done and continues to do over the last few years, but how about a "Bell End's Opinion" thread where the likes of A Adler and Tarquin Fuego can indulge in their gormcloptitude all day long and this thread can just be about celebrating Hudgell's successful tenure?

C Hutton said there was only room for 1 Hull rugby league team
So either that’s going to play out or we have a takeover by FC
I don’t mind a takeover - always been in favour of a ‘merged’ team for want of a better word.
I was a Shareholder at FC before Shane Rich liquidated the Club
At the time there was a shareholders meeting at the Boulevard
There was a vote taken on a merger proposal
The concept was voted through by 67/33

So FC fans who had skin in the game were still open to a merger even when Shane Rich was offering a future worth no merger

FC couldn't take over anything you Plum. Skint as anyone maybe moreso than most? I'd not be taking the mick until we as a country let alone a sport and clubs get through this.
Continue being a Chopper by all means but do it elsewhere and take Addled with you

tim wilby also said the same, you cannot keep merging ,youve done it once with gateshead,, remember the sharks



like craig has said the crap will hit the fan at most clubs ,how many rovers fans would you attract serving up the crap your team does on a regular basis, back to your bucket and spade beach boy

I think a merger is a no go. We’d lose so many fans which ever way it went. If our clubs get that desperate, surely dropping to part time would be better. There’s enough passion and interest on each side of the city to sustain at least a part time club via gate receipts And local sponsors.

We launched a new shirt today and within 45 minutes we had 400 online orders. No I’m not on something. Our fans devotion and support is the envy of a lot of other clubs. Yours included.

the 400 were the nicked ones if you read the full story





your devotion is applauded by most fans as non of yours are there at the end of most of your home games

I think any fan of any club mocking another team is a big risk, whilst I don't think we are in as big as trouble as Rovers as we still have a committed owner (Although this might chance), I'm still worried about Hull and the game. Think our season is pretty over, sacking the coach at that time really hasn't helped, no Covid and we will have a new coach now, but that along with latest nightmare of several players catching it, means we are miles behind other teams. We won't win many more games this year and with no relegation (maybe a good thing for both clubs) the games will start to be pointless. i just hope we can start to play and give something back to the supporters in a couple of weeks and play some young players. Start again next season.

I think we saw a response from the rovers players today. Did well against the form team of the comp. Still not good enough to win and fall two league points further behind your rivals (Hull

) but still a good showing anyway. Best of look to Quinlan. Poor kid. I feel sorry for him.

What sort of a pillock adds a laughing emoji to their own post?

Stick to your day job Craig, you couldn’t tip a wheelbarrow

Hahahahahaha quality post. Craig is a bit of a melt at times. Very easy to wind up and always wide of the mark. Bravo!

Wasnt aware Huddersfield missing so many key larkers at that time. A win is a win though so fair enough. At least the rider posts about his own team with the odd venture into KR topics unlike Addled who is a Klingon on the of this board.

On the FC posting subject I've not noticed Jake the FC poster for a fair while? Hope he's ok?

Rampant FC surge to CoVid win
Rovers realise game is played over 80 not 40 mins

With Storm on a roll as well as Richmond Tigers and Lewis and England T20 - wowzer
Just need the Browns to make the play offs and it’s a golden year as Hudge sets off into the sunset at Chrimbo-Mas
