Eh? What reasoning of mine was this you were laughing about?

Many have called the woman that in the past but never one of her own
It is refreshing to know so many hull fans are so interested in a HKR forum though. Perhaps you could sign up for HKRTV and watch the pictures as well
Will be interesting to which pub room is big enough next time to house the thousands of hull fans who will attend, unless of course you can get the good doctor to let you use one of the suite's available at his ground.

| Not even "Everything is awesome" Easty can spin the fact that was a poor turnout tonight. I guess the "feel good" factor at Rovers isn't all that.
And at his age, should he really be saying, "woot"?

| Go back to 2005 and Hull fans could use a Challenge Cup final victory (not at Wembley obviously) to wind up us Robins.
In 2006 you finished 2nd in Super League and runners up in the Grand Final at Old Trafford. Genuine bragging rights.
All the while, your crowds were improving and year on year profits were being posted.
We had to sit and take it as a National League club who got the odd day out at Blackpool.
Fast forward to 2015 and what are we being wound up about......???
More people attend your fans forums than ours!
What next? You sell more beer than us? Oh, hang on, touchy subject.
Tough times.

| At that time I don't remember thinking about Rovers one little bit. Rovers were completely none sequential. It was Leeds we all hated and still do as they were the nenchmark and in a way still are. If any club has a better season than Leeds then generally it will be a good one, not Rovers

Ah, the wheel of fortune's turned it's true. Allow us our little bit of fun.
Interesting use of reference point. Let's do 5 years. Go back to 2009. You were flying high in 4th, with average gates of 9k and 6900 passholders and the talismanic Morgan at the helm. We were labouring under Agar, producing no homegrown talent and no half backs. Fast forward to 2015. We've both suffered declining attendances and passholders (percentagewise I guess yours is more dramatic?) and you've dropped 5 places whilst we're about the same? We've had a major final since, clearly. Bragging rights change hands pretty much each time there's a game. In that relatively level playing field why not have a little s at reportedly getting a quarter of the number of fans to a forum that we do? Your fans let off flares in the battle for 9th
On topic a little. I see RH are in talks with us to host another forum. Is this a good idea? I seriously think the prospect of Lloyd hosting it would impact attendance. Didn't listen last night but was the production and questioning top notch / better than our in-house version?

I prefer to mock the fact you haven't made a major final in 30 years and lets be honest it doesn't look likely to change anytime soon.
We may have had some poor times since 2007, but in that time we have won play off games, won 2 semi finals and got to two major finals, it may not be the greatest success story, but paps all over your recent achievements. No wonder your fans celebrated a friendly win like it was a major cup final.

Think there are alternatives now. Don't the club do online commentary? Don't know what it's like, but would guess it's relatively positive in tone.

Not so sure myself, there's quite a difference in how each set of fans treat the fixture. That's not to say we don't care, just your lot care a whole lot more.
Take Sunday for example. Our tries in the first half were met with a subdued cheer, a few people getting out of their seats and a bit of an applause. The Rovers fans in the second half were at fever pitch, jumping up and down, dancing, singing, toothless grins everywhere.

I have never seen supports of either team celebrate a friendly win like you did on Sunday, I'm not sure why, but it was way over the top.
I took a friend with me who have never been to rugby before, he had to ask me after the game if it was only a friendly with the way your fans were celebrating in the North Stand.
For interest what is the record of competitive games since you SL?

High expectations?
I'd be worried if our fans went crazy after scoring a try in a friendly, just shows how low some fans standards are.

With most Rovers fans not being able to remember the last time they were in a major game, it's no wonder they get excited when they go to Big Brothers gaff and get a friendly win.
It's all relative. We see our big games as semi finals & finals, their big games are games against us.

No there isn't. I saw fans in your East Stand dancing & hugging each other like long lost relatives when you were winning. They were almost as desparate as your players in the 2014 friendly.

See above point, maybe where you were sitting/slipping into a coma, but significant sections of your East Stand were orgasmic from the moment Sa scored until Sio levelled the game up.

| What a pathetic way this thread is going. The difference between Rovers and Hull Fans in supporting their team and the vocal support they provide are polar opposites, regardless of game and setting. To try and accuse KR fans of over celebrating and whatever ridiculous statements you are saying is a diabolical attempt to hide the failings of your fans in supporting your team. I was embarrassed at full time on sunday when your team walked round an empty stadium thanking supposed fans for their support.
KR is a club of the people, and for the community. FC have lost this, and the relationship between the people and the club continues to grow wider and wider. Which would also be indicative of season pass sales. The exuberance in celebration was not just because we were beating you, but also because we can see people playing for the shirt. Not that you would, but come to any KR away game this year and the support will be exactly like that in celebration, if not numbers. I guarantee if this game was held at the boulevard back in the day the support levels for FC would of been similar to that of KR's support. Long Story short you have lost your soul.
PS - you should probably mention to talanoa to stop walking back to the corners after tries winding KR fans up and geeing the east stand creche up in that to corner to raise the volume. Or maybe remind minichello to stop fist pumping after scoring in front of the KR fans. It's only a friendly remember lads!

| The thread drift and derailment by Rovers trolls of mixed standards is quite disappointing. What started as an assessment of the merits of getting RH to host a forum vs the in house version has been spoilt with breaches of AUP etc. Please stop.
So, do we think RH would offer a better or worse forum than ours? I think if hosted by Mike White it could go OK and would probably have greater reach but may also impact attendance. Whilst ours may have accusations of stage management, whenever I've asked a question before it's always been answered whereas the RH one apparently filtered/didn't answer some questions. More generally these events provide a good basis for interaction and tease out some nuggets of info on targets and financials. It will be interesting to see the outcome of discussions with RH and also what the sticking points are to reach an agreement.
