Genuine question back at you, where would you consider Hull FC and Hull KR would site within a sustainable league table. i.e. spending within their means. After you have thought about this please take another look at your question'"
My question was purely hypothetical and I honestly thought that anyone answering it would take it that way.
I don’t for one minute think that FC would ever go under; it’s too well supported and has a CEO with a big bag of cash. Rovers, once again, have a good following and having them in SL makes for a great derby game.
My question was to gauge the dislike that Hull fans have for each other and, from the few replies it would seem that there is an honest and genuine hatred between the fans of the two clubs. Which, when you think about it, it absolutely ridiculous – “I really hate him, not because he has done anything to me or my family, not because his political views are potential harmful, not because of anything he has said or done at all but because he likes a different sports team to me”.

Being a successful global brand, we tend to go for cross continental rivalry these days.
Something your small minded attitude shows all too well .

Global brand?
Even the little Hull KR get more mentions than you.

This would be the Gary who out-manoeuvred Pearson over the Briscoe Jr transfer to such an extent that he's still crying about it, and the Kath who was in charge last time you actually won anything?

So? All the more strange that The One True Pearson (TM) got his panties in such a bunch about the whole thing.
Seriously, what is with the Pearson love-in over there? I like Hull, as a city, I like the people (on the whole), I like the place, I have family there and I generally like the teams to do well (when they're not playing Leeds) but I wouldn't trust Adam Pearson any further than I could kick him. Serial club-owner with no real track record to speak of, pops off as soon as he gets bored with his new toy. Yet he seems to be on his way to a Papal nomination for canonisation in West Hull. In the words of those funny Americans, what gives?

Not only does this idiot know nothing about the history of Rugby League in Leeds he also seems to be proud of having a pathological, inexplicable hatred towards people he doesn't even know.
Typical Hullian.

Not only does this idiot not know the correct term for people from Hull (Hullensian, you're welcome) he seems to be proud of having a pathological, inexplicable need to tar a whole city full of people who he doesn't even know with the same brush.

| Quote ="krisleeds"Trouble at the KFC Stadium
Looks like despite Pearson's investment - perhaps Ellis' much vaunted:
'I realised I still really wanted to win things and achieve things and I really believe I can do that at Hull FC' - and then being a very expensive crock.
More are jumping ship:
Holdsworth gone
Briscoe gone
O'Meley gone
Tickle gone
Lynch gone
Lots of money thrown at a side that ended up being cup runners up (nothing to brag about)
Perhaps its time to merge the Hull clubs and free up a space in SL for another side.
Neither FC or KR have done bog all since FC won the Challenge Cup way back when.
Maybe that why they walked out of the recent meeting...'"
Read through this thread and it made me giggle.
As a matter of interest, what trouble is there?
4 of the 5 players you mention were either retiring or not good enough. Only Briscoe is a genuine loss
Winning the CC within the last 8 years, admittedly a while ago, but hardly in the "way back when" era. I seem recall Leeds won Jack All of any note for 21 years upto 1999, or do you conveniently forget those baron years?
Finally,
"Perhaps its time to merge the Hull club" You say this as if its your choice.

He'll only eat them! I like how he's allowed to express himself though even if it was a gargantuan struggle. Could you image his hissy-fit being allowed on a certain other teams forum? I think not! I like him - can we keep him?

I like to manage the feeble minded with the same care and compassion that the Victorians did in days of yore - lock them up in one place and pay to go laugh at them of a Sunday afternoon.

Now I understand the thread...
You do understand that the reason that Leeds had a massive windfall of cash from the Gateshead Merger was due to Gary owning the club. I'm not 100% that they still own Gateshead so a little confused why you guys are so interested in this question.
Maybe you need to look closer to home and a move to a new stadium and partnership with Wakey?

| GH owned Gateshead Thunder and Leeds got a massive Windfall of cash due to GH owning the club?
Im sure Paul Caddick was absolutely buzzing that the merger of a club GH didnt own resulted in a massive windfall of cash for his club.
