Pot and kettle spring to mind.

Thanks again - I will drop in and see if they have any left!

With your comment in mind, i can only assume that you mean Hull fc are considering another merger.

They are in talks with Hudge as we speak.

We'll definitely need Craven Park's capacity increasing then, to fit another 10 or 11 thou in....

Yeah because signing the world's best forward is a definite sign of going bust isn't it.



(not that I would sign this liability if I was running the club, but that's irrelevant



).

Oh dear.

Funny, i didn't see him line up for Australia or in the SOO series this year.
Hull KR will always spend to the max on players because a lot of your fans will not stay with an unsuccessful side and once crowds start dropping off -

Pot/kettle moment again.... 150k for joe....

Yep our crowds were awful when we were one of the poorest teams in SL getting murdered most weeks in 2007 weren't they.



(double the likes of Salford and Quins actually

).

Even during dark days last season (e.g. conceding nearly 70 at Saints) the fans still turned up week in, week out.

Ok but why are you comparing yourselves to other teams when your chairman has said you need to break 10,000 every week for the club to sustain itself, you can't afford for your crowds to drop even lower even if they are still better than others.

Yes and that's because we make a profit, we're not spending money we can't afford.

No, but considering our capacity is only (IIRC) about 10,500, presumably he has lowered expectations since that statement (which was made a year or two ago wasn't it?). It would be totally unrealistic to expect a near-capacity crowd every home game (esp considering the shocking support that some away teams bring), so I doubt he'd be mad enough to sign Mason on an assumption that we'll be getting 10,000 every home game, surely not?

FTR I bet there'll only be six teams who average five figures next season (Hull, Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Wire, Bradford maybe). So if we are still around an 8000-9000 average I don't think it's bad.

You sure?

It's ground that has been covered in mind-numbing detail repeatedly.

Hull KR are still building and having to cope with the legacy of a long spell in the 2nd tier - youth structures, stadium development and the balance sheet are less than ideal, but all seem to be moving in the right direction - gradually.

Those brisk season pass sales announced by Rule will no doubt be even brisker due to the re-signing of a released superstar

Talking of season pass sales, how are yours going now the discount period has ended? You got 6,900 for 2010, so would assume with announcing Mason early you'll have easily tipped over 7,000 and be targetting 7,500? Don't think I've seen anything reported on this one.

What?

It's all over the Unofficial Forum Yorkie, you falling behind?

WTF has all this got to do with the book?

Is it? Post us a link, Roofs, there's a good chap.

That would be a breach of confidentiality wouldn't it, i.e. hullkrfans is afterall a secret forum.

D'oh!

Surely if the 7,500 mark has been achieved, Scott Murrell would have been on the back page of the HDM with an exclusive by now?

Maybe they want to reveal the news before you do Mrs B?

I'm sure you're all doing this on auto-pilot. It has almost become a ritual. Actually, scrub the 'almost'. For your own goods, for the sakes of your families...
