Merry Christmas Mr Hudgell, what a fine job you are doing, keep it up.

Ah, another day in the life of the only RL club in debt.

A Happy Christmas in the poorhouse for rovers then!
makes all those posts about our debt in the past by Vince et al even more ironic

Haha, most of their fans were'nt around when Vince & co were ripping into our finances on a daily basis, so they don't understand why Mrs B

takes such delight at highlighting their plight.

£3.6m in the red, , 50% more than our debt was at it's height

Merry Xmas.

Lets look at this from the fans angle for a minute!

Its just my opinion this, but its Funny how Neil always has a lot to say when he is having a go at us gloating about our demise or announcing the signing of one of our players and yet when the fans over there need a bit of re-assurance he refuses to comment on the story in the media, choosing to do it when he does by web chat or the club site!

With the exodus from Saltend, The Golf Stand being condemned, the need for another £400,000 to extend the East Stand (according to the Mail), Cookie being touted around the rest of Super League, the complaints of the fans onthei sites about their merchadising operation and now a debt of £3.6m at least he could give them some reassurance at this time of year! They will start the season and no doubt play it through, but they must be a bit worried when the article states that £2.2m is having to be repaid to debtors in the next few months!

I am the first to have a laugh at their expense, thats what banter is all about, but I have some sympathy for the hard core Rovers fans who have stuck by them through the hard times, they deserve better, I have no sympathy for the Hudge who has brought it all on himself, IMHO. No doubt we will hear plenty when they announce the next mill stone Mr Clinton being signed in the New Year.

The accounts were published on the 15th, typical HDM, on the ball as usual.

Has someone had a fallout with Hudgell? Almost like they've been saving a string of bad news for this week, what with the Saltend investment to write off, 2 articles stirring it about Cooke's future and now saving this for Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas Mullan.



Shame we can't hear the R&W moaning over the ringing of tills in the West as season passes, shirts and a great well-stocked range of merchandise flies out of the shop.

Love the part in the mail about making Caravan Park a community stadium! HA



You reap what you sow Mr Hudgell........

I'd just like to say a big "up yours" to all those Rovers fans who have made jibes about our finances over recent years. You reap what you sow, indeed.

Merry Christmas

Agree 100% with you there. The thing with Grudge is, he brings it on himself for Hull fans to have a go at him,with his constant bile towards anything F.C.
I would have more sympathy for Jack the ripper,than him t.b.h.

Agree totally with Wilf. Hard lines Hudgie, but sympathies to the hardcore rovers fans.

There was always going to be heavy investment and loss in putting Rovers back in the upper tier of the game.
Management of the process is the key.
I have every faith in Neil and the board to do this.
If however there a problems then so beit.
As City fans said it is better to have gained promotion than not at all and their future road is rocky too.

The investment has obviously paid off as we are the premier rugby league team in the city - something which many black and whites have difficulty with - infact they spend more time on here trying to pull Rovers down then making positives on their own club.

Us sensible Rovers fans knew there would be a heavy price for promotion and that manifests in later years.
HKR academy has made parallel progress with the first team and should reap rewards in attracting the better local lads.

Merry Christmas to all rugby fans out there and for the FC fans looking for cheap shots - think of the wider picture!!!

Same to you.

Looking at the wider picture, I'll go for some more expensive shots when the season gets going

To Neil and his Board

Have a very happy christmas + all the very very best for the new year



Keep up the great work your doing

OK heres a quick challenge.. I will pen some shortly but seen as its the season of good will and and no doubt a charity collection will have to follow to save them at some point anyone care to have a go at creating a new version of Band aids do they know its Xmas for our friends over the river? One line each will do..

Sensible Rovers knew there would be a heavy price!!
All of the above is utter garbage . Paying over the odds for senior players and Youth players and not not knowing the true market value is gross mis management!
Hudgell`s hatred of Hull FC and his policy of "oneupmanship" will be his downfall and possibly Hull KR`s.
The Craven Park propaganda machince has churned out lies for 2 years and the Red hordes have soaked it up!
Still not a hint of criticism from the "sensible" Hull KR fans!

Here's a quick line for you!

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid (of the Tonga Mafia)

I'll get my coat

I see you had your christmas lobotomy

....And there won't be profit in East Hull this financial year

Take out the "financial" and I think we have a line!

Keep the faith !
Hudgell is arranging the next Rovers supporters group meeting for Nurenberg if you are interested?

I thought for a second that you was also rewritng the band aid lyrics (there wont be snow in africa this xmas time bit)

...and they cant afford to keep on paying cooke

2 lines!

The Wail may have been slow on reporting this but their timing has turned out to be impeccable in the end. A wonderful Xmas tonic and public humiliation of the suddenly silent ambulance chaser. Enjoy your Xmas dobbins, it could well be your last.
