Here it is, the day only 4 years ago wasn't even really a dream. When we secured our place in S/L we where expected to make a speedy return to the lower divisions, some quarters even suggesting us not winning a game, and with the impending franchise system. no place in S/L.
Fast forward to now, here we are at the begining of a journey, a journey few would have believed possible even 2 years ago. The first season was a struggle with only the odd good result, but we enjoyed every moment of every game, and we managed it, we managed to stay in the elite competition.
A plan was put in place, survive, consolodate, challenge, a plan many saw as a pipe dream, a plan many thought unachievable, a plan many expected to fail, a plan that Neil Hudgell, Justin Morgan and everyone involved in this great club believed in. Now no one can dispute that the plan outlined has come to fruition, we are indeed now challenging for our place in history, challenging doesn't mean winning, it means exactly that, challenging.
Whatever happens during our first foray in the playoffs, i will remember what we where watching 5 yrs ago, i will enjoy this journey to it's end, wether it be short lived or fruitful, as i can see many more journeys ahead, each going further, each getting better.
So weather your on the terrace at leeds or unable to attend and are watching on tv, when the lads enter the pitch, just remember where we were this time 4yrs ago and how far we have come,lets get behind the lads who have took on this journey and back them with all our heart and all our soul as only Hull KR fans can, no matter what the result.
A new era is here
We are Hull KR and we are back

RED ARMY, ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
C'MON ROVERSSSSSSSS!

Excellent post





DISCO DANCING ROVERS

Totally off the subject home many overseas places have Rovers got spare for next season, I'm having a debate with my mate who is a Rovers fan and he says they have one but I said Fitzhenry is leaving but the quota spots are going down by 1 is this right.

Only one person has ever known the answer to this question... and he went mad from thinking about it and now only says 'wibble'.

Great post, one to remember when getting ready to go into battle tonight...

fantastic post

Reading that has just got me even more pumped up for tonight, is it too early to drive to Leeds already?!

Absolutely magic, well played mate.











C'mon Rovers - prove many people (inc myself admittedly) wrong and make it happen tonight.

fantastic post couldnt agree more well done

I would like to thank Salford for being soooo rubbish in 2007 it saved our skins and without them being that poor we wouldn't be where we are now...

A slightly different slant to the original post!!!

Nah we've done amazing and nobody can take that away from us. Stevo might have a go at us every week but he has to realise Leeds, Saints, Hudds, Wigan, Catalans (only just)...etc have much more experience than us yet we are still in the top 4 and in such a short space of time.

What was that old saying..."The Futures Bright, The Futures Red and White" (I can still hear Colin McNichol saying that at a fans forum!).

With regard to Salford in 2007 , that was the year they were going to kick on after a fairly successful year before.

Fortunately it did not pan out that way.

And 2009 was going to be the year hull fc kicked on from 2008...........not comparing yourself to salford i see

wonder why.

Good on yer mate.....not a lot of your present day crew can say that.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!

I'm so excited, I never thought I would see a Rovers side make the playoffs, absolutely cannot wait for kickoff now!

I can't remember it. Not because I wasn't there, but these days I can't remember what I had for lunch.

why arent you there?? just a question not a dig...

because i live in bolton, work in manchester and wouldn't be able to get there for kickoff.

Well our first foray in the playoffs had the result most people had predicted, leeds are a very very good side and all credit to them, they showed us what we have to do to continue our progress. Tonight a place in the finals seems as far away as a place in superleague did 4 years ago. Although i came away feeling.......well not sure what my feelings where,but i did come away knowing we had been in a game against the current best side in s/l and no one can critisize us for the effort put in by our team. The result aside, the pleasure at being involved in such a prestigious competition, against a side of the calibre of leeds makes supporting this great sport of ours all the more worth while. We, as they say, "have another bite of the cherry next week" which in its self leaves me in no doubt as to how far we have come, but the result tonight shows me we still have a have a lot learn,but we are getting there.


I've had a quick glance at some other threads tonight and i know this probably is'nt the thread to say it, but it's great to see the fans of all clubs pulling together over chev (well almost all fans, you always get one) and i would like to especially congratulate all the leeds fans for their applause of chev.......i'm very proud to be a hull kr fan tonight, but more so a Rugby League fan

I felt like I'd been dry bummed by John Merrick.

Mmmmmm, maybe that was it.............
