WOW, talk about people missing the point. Where did I mention the merger?

so apart from you starting play school what else happened in 1999

so, what other help have we had?.......

Can I be the first to start a rumour that we've signed Gareth Widdop, after Finch signed for Melbourne?

now that if true would make me mess myself involuntarily

Sigh.

The post I originally quoted was saying that Bradford should be 'booted out', following a convo around early payments from the RFL to help them out.

My point was that Hull FC back in 1999 didn't get 'booted out' and also got some help financially via a loan from the RFL (I believe).

That's all.

Plenty of other clubs have also received financial help in that time from the RFL, something I completely support.

I genuinely wasn't talking specifically about the merger, the club did what it had to do. Some of the defense mechanisms kicking in upon seeing a Rovers fan write '1999' are brilliant though.

no we just loose the will to live everytime we see it now its been done that many times , and still just as boring as it ever was no matter how well veiled you try to make it blunderbus

I don't recall us getting any form of loan in 1999, who from and what for?

Maybe he means David Lloyd and the 5p share issue?

From the RFL/SLE. I'm not sure if it was definately a loan (which is why I put 'I beleive' in the last post), or was money given to the club following the m****r. Either way, the club got some help - which is the point I was making.

right, so when not talking about the merger, you are in fact talking about the merger, I can see why you're a KR fan now

So I was correct. Cheers.

Nope, you were wrong, the money came from the directors of Gateshead, but you carry on, f't.

All of it?

Yup, all of it.

Out of interest, why don't you go and talk about KR on your board, maybe you could starta thread about season pass sal...... sorry, my bad.

Except for the £1.25m, of course.

Why can't I talk about Hull FC on the Hull FC board?

If you're obsessed with the bigger club you can, must be difficult times for you, what with your club not even warranting comment for weeks, other than laughter at your "signings"

I'll take your pathetic attempts at deflecting attention off the point I was making as confirmation that I was correct.

Thanks Marty.

Wonder if blunderbus is Hudge in disguise trying to get some ideas from us on how to scuttle his ship without sinking with it...

so in reality you ARE discussing the merger then??/


however unless KR merge with East hull or Skirlaugh (which are both better run clubs than KR) your all out of options unless a wealthy foreign buyer come is an ....hold on why is that man marking out camel parking bays in the KR car park

I would quite like to see Hudge wearing my top hat and waistcoat, he'd look like an American leprechaun.

Rumours please.

So what will happen with Widdop now that Finch is back at Melbourne? Will he become a utility player seeing as Slater is at 1 and Finch will more than likely become the new 6.
Would love to see Widdop at Hull but I expect him to stay in Aus.
