Great to see Hudge in the East Stand tonight before the match , talking to the fans , mingling with us all, great of him to take time out to remember his roots .

Its great to have a board that mix with the fans , i think that is a real strong point at Rovers , ex players and supporters on the board that are passionate about the club and and have a great rapport with the fans.

I never saw him.

Rovers has always been more of a family run club, at times that has caused us problems as our "keep it in the family" approach has meant we didn't bring the best people in for the job but we now seem to have a great balance between business and passion.

Good times indeed and well done Neil for getting us here.

Not just before the match, he was certainly in there for the full first half. Wonder why?

Mixing and talking to the fans, don't all chairpersons do this ?

Only if they get it to happen where they are in complete control and if they get to script and practice the encounter first.

But we need to get this small club mentality out of our heads, tried to ring the box office twice yesterday to order some tickets but got put straight through to an answer machine.

Isn't it an automated service rather than an answer machine. I rang yesterday about some photos I'd left for signing, just listened to all the options till I heard the one I required and pressed the button. I would say we have moved on in this department, although it was nice when you knew all the office staff by name and could just ring and ask for them



Apologies if this isn't what happened to you.

The same approach that means 90% of your fans have the same blood lines

Spot on, Hudgell is us what Adam Pearson was to City IMO!

He was in their watching the game with the fans , chatting to them before the game and then at half time .

as opposed to your 100%

I dont ever remember Pearson been in the away end like Duffman has been, Colchester a couple of seasons back springs to mind, or with the fans at a Home game like Hudge did?

No I followed the automated message pressed the correct number and it asked me to leave a message

just could not be bothered to ring again!

for what it's worth mate every time I've tried the ticket line the same things happened to me, gave up on it a long time ago and i just go into the shop and ask now!

Anyway back to our chairman , socialising with the fans in the east stand last night , what a great board we have

Wasn't referring to the crowd mingling, hand shaking and baby kissing, I think there are a lot more important things they've done than that.

Hudge was even at the reserves derby at Brantingham Park a few weeks ago, talking to the supporters and having a beer with us , great having a fan as a chairman , this also goes in hand with ex players and fans on the board.

I know, the board meetings on top of a stool in crown... How I wish for that

How little you know, the board room is in Saltshouse Tavern

Speaking of stools, how funny that Kath would pick one to be Chief Exec at Hull Fc.

Its like an Ikea show room All this talk of Chairs and Stools

Richard Agar has no Ikea what he's talking about.
