I was refering to Zod's hope of a 14,000 stadium and your crowds are down like most clubs. You only got 6,400 for the Cas game.

| Quote ="His Bobness"The real surprise is that Hudgell & Crossland let their hearts rule their heads for yet another season of underwriting losses. They had signaled their intention/inability not to do so for 2013 and we were prepared to live with it (weren't we?) but hey presto Neil defiantly pronounced we were within £100k of the cap.
Personally I was shocked with disbelief by that statement. After all the 'can't go round again' stuff, 'may have to go back to go forward and trust in youth'.........suddenly we were back near maximum cap and paying transfer fees.
I got a bit confused at that point. I was ready for austerity, ready for the fight, ready to stick 2 fingers up to over spending rivals. We'd been primed, we understood.
Along came signings of 'potential' like your Brown's, Walkers, Caro's, Eden's, etc......what a laugh if they end up better than their expensive predecessors.....ha ha ha!........hang on though..what's that you say, we're STILL up near the top end of the salary cap?
Hudgell & Crossland have single handedly kept Rovers afloat and every single Rovers fan should be grateful. I certainly am. Ideally it would be good for them to step aside now that their fires have burnt out but I trust they will not do so until a suitable alternative appears.
I don't think for a minute they will do ......even if it means presiding over a £1.2m salary Hull KR which is what they should have done this year already.'"
Was the assertion on being at virtually full cap made during the season pass window?
The new regime coming into play next season is intriguing, because the range of possibilities is so wide. A question on the Allam £1m loan too. Hudgell said quite recently I think that Rovers were going to pay it all back. To hand over the club debt free would therefore need either conversion of the loan to a gift by the Allams, or for Hudgell and Crossland to repay it personally?

I don't know the ins and out of the rovers accounts, but the input of Hudgel and Crossland are highly likely to be in the form of loans which would be repayable by the company (and therefore any new owner). NH has built his own, half decent, business but he is not in a position to literally throw away a 7 figure sum.
As I said before, time will tell and perhaps those claiming to be in the know will shed some light.

He effectively has - although I'd like to think he feels he's had some value for the money.
Unless there is significant competition to buy us (we wish), he is not not in a strong negotiating position.
If he won't accept a small fraction of the debt in payment, then a buyer can just let us go into administration and negotiate with the administrator instead. If you're the only show in town, you can buy the assets, start a new company and walk away from the debts, a la Wakefield and Bradford.

Couldn't agree more, hilariously idiotic.
It'll probably cry now, doesn't take criticism well.

It's the exact same story, just worded more sensationally. Much more emphasis on the possibility of administration for example.
Typical Star rubbish.

There are fans on both sides who would genuinely like the opposing club to go out of business, sadly.

| Ohh deary me, having an independent opinion on a subject seems to really get up some forums members noses on here......yes.
Here's a thought......Why don't you go and MERGE with your sister club, GATESHULL. LMFAO.
Still you won your grand final, congratulations.
We did struggle for survival once and thousands remember your clubs contribution.
History, don't you just love it.

Before you gained promotion into super league ginge I dont think all fc fans actual missed you being in the same league and we seemed to be doing fine without you apart from the obvious once a year bump in ticket sales. Thats not my veiw btw just an observation .
Long live super leagues only TRUE DERBY.....

Whilst agreeing with your sentiments I do feel that some fictional character from a science fiction film has even less relevance to a discussion about rugby league. But hey each to their own.

So it's not relevant at all.
