I think we've gone far enough in this direction. FWIW, and speaking personally, I see this as the Rovers board for fans who like [usome[/u banter/trolling from Hull fans. Neither constant nor absent - 'some'.

So speculation and rumours concerning Hull KR - stadium development, player shirt numbers, our away strip colours etc. It's a long off season, let's not make it feel even longer.

Any news on the east stand then? have they dug out that hill to fit it in?

Has the club looked at some seating, like the golf stand, between the golf stand and the Roger Millward? i cant remember have you just got burger vans there?

I'm sure Mrs B. can stand up for herself.
Some of her opinions irritate me, mainly the accountancy stuff, but everyone has their own area of expertise.
From what I've read she does have a great grasp of the game on and off the field. She doesn't constantly criticise players on a personal level.
Also her posts are literate, spelling, grammar and punctuation correct, (not essential, but rare on here and the F.C. forum)
I have even found myself agreeing with her on several subjects.

On a lighter note, she has a great eye for the Hunks Thread!

with regards to the east stand development, whats going to happen to the disabled area towards the south end of the ground, my girlfriends 2 disabled cousins are both avid season pass holders in this area. will they just leave it where it currently is or move it as surly people standing towards the front in the new part of the stand will have little or no view of the game, i would presonally like to see the area intergrated in to the stand at the front



also i quite like mrs. b's posts, makes the board more interesting

Even though that is a AUP break everytime?

so the only rumours we have so far is that Mrs B maybe a man and Easty maybe a crackhead, could be a bit of a boring off season this haha

the reason shes not liked on here Suzie is probably because every post she comments on ends in farce, is derailed,turns into a slanging match, Mrs B and a good few others can ruin a good thread before its even got going. i do admire her stamina though, she just keeps going and going

Nothing new on either count then

There does seem to be a Pavlov's Dogs phenomenon going on here, though, in that whenever I post anything at all it's like ringing a bell and the pack of dogs starts salivating, regardless of whether or not it's contentious and/or uncomfortable. There's a subtle difference between posting aggressively for a reaction (name-calling and personal insults), and being a bit provocative by providing a counterbalance to the generally rather one-eyed smugness that characterises this board (pmh and Mild Rover excepted). Willie Mason is a great example. Since his signature was announced (and the reasonable sprinkling of concerns expressed about him, particularly when he was briefly linked with FC, coincidentally silenced) posts about him have been virtually unanimously positive. And why not - exciting stuff? I post a very recent article (one that seems to have slipped through Roverswall's minute by minute NQC news search, surprisingly) which has direct quotes from Willie saying he's been wrestling whilst out on the lash 100 times, and thinks that locals have a duty of care to avoid any stories that may arise of their team out on said lash leaking out, and Easty's response to this is to call me a man. I'm guessing that was intended in a not very nice way, but if he's an Alpha Male, and let's say that he is for the sake of argument, I take it as a pretty robust compliment. The thread did then get diverted, but as the record shows, the derailment wasn't started by me.
I think you're exaggerating also if you think I derail every single thread. For starters I've not posted on half of them, and where I have, say on the Wilkin one, the comment about him being outpaced by 32 year old prop Andy Coley was a reasonable and quite amusing point and one made by others on other boards. Richard Horne suffered the same a few years back and it became a bit of a standing joke when describing him. I think it just seems that I'm ubiquitous because there is so much consensus and self-congratulation on here that any challenge produces a siren and flashing neon arrow sign with "trouble-causer" on it. There is also no crime in repetition or being boring. If there were, Justin Morgan would require a police escort from his vantage point at the end of games to head off the tedium of his post match media interviews

Truly now, enough of the board discussing the board. [urlhttp://www.RLfansfans[/url doesn't exist for a reason. If you fail to comply I'll insist you have a character of my choosing from a David Croft sitcom as your avatar on pain of banishment. I might do it, I could go Rogue. Until admin find out, at least.

If anybody wants to discuss any of these issues further please do so by PM with RBA, Matty, GJB or GML.

Away kit - something like this is one rumour...

Bit late coming back to this topic, but Mrs B. has firmly established she can look after herself on here, she doesnot seem to resort to personal name calling, but I must pull her up on her comment of "one-eyed smugness on here", there is a lot of that from the other side of the city.


Much as I love Justin's work for HKR, Mrs B. was spot on with her comments about him !!

Keep rattling the cages Mrs B. it entertains the rest of us.

They prefer insular debates. Mrs B doesn't mind it up her, so to speak, but some other people clearly cannot take it.

Spike Dixon or Lieutentant Hubert Gruber - your choice.

I got there first.

without sounding too northern they cant handle you love

Pale blue doesn't do it for me. We had a very pale blue hooped one a couple of years ago, which I really like (looks great on me, obviously), but was a bit incongruous on the likes of Sam Moa and made the players look a bit, well, fairy-like and unthreatening. Look at Mason in this picture. He looks like his bunions are hurting he wants a sit down with a cup of Yorkshire Gold and slice of parkin to watch a repeat of A Place in the Sun : Home or Away? Not "grrrr" enough for me, I'm afraid.

Why have Rovers not done a proper retro shirt since their return to SL, a proper broad red band on a white background? Madness.

Yes you did - good choice btw.

2008 was pretty traditional. 2006-2008 were all (attempts at) a traditional / classic look. 2009 was a variation that grew on me. 2010 was new and never quite did it for me - a white hoop or vee would have been good, but what was it - a voop?

2010 was hideous. I cannot think of a single redeeming feature of it. I mean just a plain, broad red band. No swooshy red shoulder/side things so it looks like H. Not a thin band, a broad one. Just one, broad, red band, on a plain white background. Nowt else. How difficult can that brief to a supplier be?



Would have said more Wilson than Godfrey. Mild, not bland.

Sure you've got the correct shirt. I liked our 2010 home shirt but the away shirt for me was the highlight simply the best Rovers shirt for many many years.

Found a half decent snap of the away shirt

Isn't the latter the baddie out of Die Hard?

Hmm now where can I store that pic so my wife wont find it

It's a bit like getting Hull to submit 4 or 5 bands of black irregular [ihoops[/i ( ie all the way round - not bars with an irritatingly disruptive stripe down the side) on a white background, similar on the arms, with no purple, grey or gold "Eternal Beau"-y type bits stuck on, to ISC.

Seemingly impossible. (Or at least, once in a pale blue moon.)

Of course, the year both teams get their traditional heads to coincide should be the year we meet in the Grand Final.

Booo. Gruber had the big leather boots. Mmm. Wild, not Mild.
