Seems so, she can't even back up her sole contribution to the thread with an explanation why the supposed bad news is actually bad news at all. Poor effort I'm afraid.

Why are FC so concerned about Rovers finances and what goes on maybe Red and Whites in disguise, the problem is jealousy our Chairman is FAB and he actually supports the club through and through as do the rest of the board, who does Rule and Hetherington support, and they need to look at they're own club if they earning sooooo much money why are they not spending it on top quality players, like rovers are, it really annoys me that they continue to think they're the best and they don't like us doing anything better than them or at all. Im just glad were back in the top flight its were we always were in the 80's and its taken a long time and hard work by our fantastic board to get us back to were we belong and hopefully the true loyal rovers fans will now start to realise that we meen business and come out next season and support our fantastic club....

I've got a head ache now, has anyone got any Tramadol?

Maybe pmh you have a pre menstrual headace.........

I've told you before about flirting with me Ranga, I'm a taken gander.

So we have Ranga and The Drighlington Dynamo , anymore pet names?

I like a nice nick name, everyone enjoys a nick name.

In my office alone we have Garrington Barrington Smythe, Brucicus and Gilly Billy Rock.

I also think that people should be animalised, throughout my building I have spotted people that resemble a miserable meerkat, a blue tit, an Afghan hound and a duck.

And you work where?

Flamingoland by the sounds!

It's probably best if that remains hush hush, or as we say, gobble gobble.

you work in a brothel?

When I saw this thread title I thought it was your version of our "Hunks" thread. Very disappointing.

Packed out innit.

Goose power, a limited but highly lucrative market.

How else do you think I can keep Goose Tower's Secret Hill Top Lair in gold leaf and Fleur-de-lis?

Back on topic please.

Who are these mysterious mischief makers anyway? If he is yet again moaning about opposition fans creating a bit of banter and trying to get one over on their local rivals (it's practically in the job description of a fan) then it's a bit pathetic really. It's not like it's all over the media or anything, it's just fans doing what they do best and having some banter.

Going solely off what I see on here, I think a combination of factors have made it a bit more than that. Rovers' rise in recent seasons has made Hull's decline a bitterer pill. Because they only thing Hull really had over Rovers in that time was profits (and the related issue of attendances), that became the sole focus of nearly all trolling. This has combined with the imperatives of licensing and a fundamentalist capitalist attitude in some quarters that clubs are [ujust[/u businesses, rather than civic institutions that mostly have and generally continue to require public or private subsidy in one form or another. This monomania and a tendency to exaggerate and misconstrue (deliberately or not) was possibly becoming a problem for the club's image. On the VT negative references are often made to the state of Rovers' finances - sometimes by fans of clubs who are in a rather worse situation in that regard.

How exactly is it causing a problem for HKR that fans of other clubs use finances as a stick to beat HKR fans with? Seriously who cares if posters on the VT think your finances are worse than they actually are? Why does your chairman feel the need to go to the press because some fans on a message board are exagerating things to take the p1$$? It's what they do all the time about just about anything.

Especially when he described fans on this message board particularly as "cabbages". And as far as I'm aware it's only Mrs B who was querying things with any sort of "background info" and anyone else was making stuff up as per.

Hardly worth worrying about and certainly not worth bothering the BBC about.

This is now verboten. You should be banned. Obergruppenführer Mild Rover is a bad ass now a days, fo sho!

"She who must not be named" then.

Not that it's any of my business, but why was she banned?

I see your point and I hope I wouldn't take it personally in his shoes. But if he doesn't deny, people are more likely to believe it. And this more bullish stance reassures supporters and raises spirits. No business (or privately subsidised civic institution

) wants people to have an exaggeratedly negative opinion of their financial stability. iirc Mike Smith said in an interview that people had sought reassurances from him and then there was the HDM article for which they published an apology. I limited my observation to these boards because it is what I'm familiar with, not because I think the issue spreads no further.

Edited for your reassurance and everybody else's displeasure.



Not something to be discussed. Nothing unpredictable, it'd be fair to say.

Only a guess, but probably broke the AUP again and again and.....maybe even the mods eventually got as bored off her tiresome posts.

I see. So has Hudge had a word in this board's mods' ears or is his user name actually Mild Rover (doubt it - you're very nice and, indeed, mild still, despite your Nazi Rapper protestations above) or GJB or such like?

I really hope this independent site has remained, err, independent. Otherwise we may have to fear your Nazi-esque allusions could be an humourous attempt to hide the fact that the Germans have actually already invaded?

I'm fantasizing, of course. But the timing of this article does seem to coincide astonishingly with the sudden absence of Mrs

. I do hope, as this board has become [ia)[/iquiet and [ib)[/ia little duller (pun intended)of late that she has only taken a short holiday and will be back.
