If we could get him (1icon_cool.gif, along with already having Westerman (22) and Kent (21, just) could possibly set us up in the back row for years, and they've got Ellis and Tickle to learn from. I'd applaud the signing of Bateman if we could get him.

Stupid hair arrangements aside, I agree

Manufecker or whatever has had his haircut to throw us off the scent

do you mean Manukowafferwafferooh?

Going to sound good in the 'Ull accent if he signs!

Since I haven't made one up yet, I've heard Mick Crocker's visa has finally been approved. FACT!

Not before time, his car from Stockhills needs a MOT and is two and half years out of tax.

Also had all his tattoos removed then

In hindsight we got lucky with that one, he's only played 45 times for Souths in 4 seasons having being constantly injured, and we would have been paying him massive money.

Hang on, this is his 4th season, it's only 6 games old. He joined halfway through the 2009 season so that leaves 2010 & 11. 46 games isn't too bad, certainly not 'constantly injured'.

I heard PG has said if we don't win against Leeds next week they will all be going...him included

Heard the north stand is going to be £50

North Stand at Rovers?

Funny all these said rumours dry up when all the players have a week off..

I know its off topic but just heard Nicky Barmby has been sacked and the club (Hull City) is up for sale, will it affect us stadiumwise?

Heard on Saturday the club was up for sale

Hopefully they have paid off the mortgage on the SMC user agreement they had

Stunning development at Hull City as Barmby has been suspended over comments to media about team strengthening in the summer

Would very much doubt both to be true, more likely one or the other. Barmby's calls in the media for investment will probably be as welcome as a fart in a lift with the Allams, so could see mileage in them getting rid in a strop. Can see at least as much chance of them looking to get out though, but can't see either being managerless or having a brand new man in with a new contract to pay off as being good selling points, TBH. I actually think the most likely development is for Barmby to walk if/when he's got no money to spend or told he has to sell to raise transfer funds this summer.

Don't see any outcome affecting us, though, particularly not negatively at any rate.

Allam not replying to burnsys calls apparently its on the city forums that he was suspended from 2pm. they want AP back they can get their hands off.

What a numpty Allam is.

Here we go, they're not going to spend anything. Can't have the stadium, so not putting any more in.

Oddly i've read that before, sometime this year, now where did i see that......

No idea what you're referencing there.
