And here comes the office tea-boy.

Come back when you've done 20 years not a 2 year purple patch.

Certainly pretty common in East Hull. Regular occurrence in fact.

I enjoy having Rovers in SL and it actually adds to my enjoyment of being an FC fan. The only real benefit of Rovers going out of existence would be that the numpty Rovers fans (many of whom have posted on this thread) who are obsessed with everything FC would also go out of existence.

That the fan base of the city of Hull?? 2 teams in this City, same population either way you look at it.

Ill never go out of existence Robbo

, i wouldnt want FC to go bust 'again', where would the banter go. Not having it with the Leeds 'fans'

I can always just take the pi$$ out of you pool/poker skills

Pool = i have better stats...FACT...

Poker = well thats just pot luck with you playing so no comment, im class, i forever have huge hands, you do have a knack of folding a lot when i have the nuts!

Your stats mean nothing as you play the rubbish players. Fact.



The league table doesn't lie my friend

Bigger fan base i.e avarage home attendance.

Say better average home attendance then...then i can comment on your council funded rented accomodation. Im sure any team who had a stadium like yours would have a better attendance than us, its a fact we can only have 10k, where as the KC stadium is 25k. So its pure physics that any half decent SL side would get better attendances (unless they are on the moon!). (or Celtic/Crusaders or whatever)

Fan base as you put it indicated the area its in, which is the same city. if we was Saints-Wigan then fair does as they are different places.

I dont pick the line-up, ill play 1st if im put there, i did for majority of my first 2 seasons didnt i ash??

What league table? i didnt partake in this seasons events, financial constraint, and the 2am finishes and bad luck i was getting

, i might now have to make a comeback (if im allowed of course) in the next season, just so i can bring this back and show you

Yeah and how did we do in the league those seasons?

I've been leading the team off pretty much since I joined



Your more than welcome to re-join the league. We have 3 games left and the final table then you can come and give us all the benefit of your wisdom

There is only one club in Hull.

Nothing East of the River matters!

saying that thogh...KFC is in the east....

Throughout the years FC have had higher attendance than Rovers Despite the millions of fans your lot claim to have.

You cant even fill your 10k stadium as it is without the help of FC



As to a new stadium please explain why Doncaster doesn't get the fans.

We did find thanks. Its due to my progression into a winning player, Jim, Dave (not at present) and Mr Lees as well that we are winning games. I won my first 7 games when i lead the team out, then i started to think about player of the year

and it went downhill from there!

You wont get my wisdom, but you can watch and learn (if you can).

Anyways this thread is about 2 Hull Teams...why not just leave it as it is, as this shows, banter is quality.

We cant fill it without you? Im sure the games against Leeds and Warrington last season didnt involve you lot. You boycotted so your comments on last seasons attendance are not permitted.

Why dont Doncaster? if you read my point, it said any 'half decent SL side' first 3 words there tell you why!

where did i mention last season

I was making reference to something you might actually remember, most FC fans have very short memories so i thought i would help you out. If you would like me to provide times where in the SL Era Rovers have had 80% attendances then i will do so for you. You can do the same for me with FC at the KC...might as well just list the Rovers fixtures over the past few year...

Mark give it up mate



Just name how many times Rovers have sold out in the last 3 years. Then think about whether or not the capacity of your stadium is holding you back

I wouldnt say and im sure you agree its the capacity, the 'state' of the stadium, compared to the likes of the KC, JJB etc, the south stand, well really shouldnt exist but it does. the 'golf' stand is adequete when you compare the fact its seats to wakey, salford, cas, celtic and the stand i was in at Catalans was very similar. The prices is a different story.

We sold out against Warrington in the cup, there's a start. You have the ability to sell more passes and lets be fair, you've had the monopoly of the fans for the years no-one was interested in Rovers, when we was getting 3k. People soon come back.

If you was still at Boulevard then im sure this might be a different topic. Thing is your not. We dont sell out, but this is 9/10 due to the lack of away support. You cant argue with that, we sell out the East and West stands every single game. Maybe with a football stadium we might have a better chance, but its not the case.

I would'nt shut them down, I would play the mother in law at prop (she's 82) our lass on the wing (never ran anywhere in her life) our kid at scrum half (he hates sport)and a bunch of other suitable players.

When they are losing 2000 - 0 at half time I would go into the changing room and try buck them all up a bit, "come on Joyce (m-in-law) give them one of your stares!", "wife you go into one of your moods!", "go on our kid, open some more cans!" that sort of thing. Obviously the crowds would go down but what a laugh eh??

if they get it fixed

Mark, think about it. Your Home support is at the highest its likely to reach. Regardless of how big the stadium is.
