SL tenure of almost a decade, losing £3-4m, taking on debt of £2m for the new stand, winning one play-off game (against Agar), not got beyond QF of the cup (I think), and Craig Sandercock. That's some legacy.

No, just not a blinkered fool

Is it? I thought people went to Soccer Sensations, the feedback on Jake Quickenden was one of embarrassment, coupled with some crappy interviews with players where the announcer got their names wrong. Aspirational.

My work is connected with KR and from that and some of my Rovers mates i get a sense of buzz from them and have done for years, a buzz thats been lacking from FC fans and indeed the club. It embraces and actively encourages local KR supporting business people to get involved with the club in any way they can which is something FC does not - FC is almost sterile to the customer or local business with very little connection and it shows. Ive got lots of FC friends too and very few have any pride or connection with FC anymore including myself. Our club is a mess from top to bottom, a rudderless ship with a captain akin to Francesco Schettino of Costa Concordia fame and thats not gonna change whilst Pearson remains at the club

Yeah, this must be why Rob Crossland tweeted after Rovers fans bellyaching about their poor start to the season something like "Monday's word of the day: fickle". How does their community programme compare to ours in terms of hours spent by players in local schools, courses run etc? This utopian scenario of fan pride was embodied by a full 150 fans tipping up at the DW. I don't disagree that FC could do more with local business, but painting a picture that Hull KR are some sort of trailblazer is pushing it. Fans (including parents of players) regularly slate their club's reporting (or entire lack thereof) of the academies for example, whereas I would argue FC are more proactive in this regard. It's not as polarised as you make out, at all. Let's have a list of the specific elements of superlative matchday experience at Hull KR for the average supporter, then we can ask AP to replicate.

They've got marfleet meffs! (The dance group)

I'm not sure about the Malcolm/Jason/Shane Walker reference. The last accounts seem to show private investment funds took a controlling share in April last year.

Yet they're below us! Go figure.

But they will finish 4-8 points ahead of us by game 23

You don't happen to have tomorrow nights lotto numbers by any chance?

Theyll be in the eight and we'll be playing Leigh - we'll see

Ok rufus thanks.

Then you'll no doubt be joining them on their annual trip to Wembley and Old Trafford, great achievers that they are.

Paul Green of Lime propeties and Keith Tindall were the names connected with the rumour I heard at weekend so this is the second person to tell me this one.

Oh and no HFC boy I didn't make it up just putting what I heard.

Paul Green is a director of KR so seems very unlikely

If I had the cash I'd rather buy rovers than Hull. I'd have a lot more fun. I'd make radford the coach and give him a 20 year contract with agar as director of rugby

A couple of us said the same but he was willing to bet grand that its done and dusted.
We'll see i suppose.

might ring him and take him up on his bet though.

First step in the allam funded merger??????????????????????

Lineham to wire?

Could well be.

If the money was right I'd let him go but he only signed a 4yr deal last year. However I did hear Radford was looking to offload a few bad eggs and his name was mentioned but I took as a silly rumour because we're playing $hit.

The bad egg we need to offload is the coach himself.

Tommy not going anywhere said he's happy at FC, wont leave unless he is told he not wanted by FC or they want to cash in. [urlhttp://www.superleague.co.uk/sltv?mZeXNhJW4BU[/url
