"[iFc are a team of proven internationals and an abundance of local talent who will doubtless be looking to redress the balance from earlier in the season and I suppose also to put a dent in our 6-3 record since arriving in super league. Having said that we continue to feel that we have a point to prove. Certainly we have'nt forgotten certain "cheap" comments aimed at us pre-season about supposed financial problems,cancelled pre-season trips and the like.As long as we carry on making progress and building stability results will continue in my eyes to be more important than grade A licences achieved in part on the back of ten years of local monopoly and subsidised first class facilities[/i."

Well said Hudge

Our Chairman should learn to differentiate between wind-up merchants on the internet, and the RL team they support.

You can only continue getting good results if your club can sustain itself.

Or tell suppliers to stop publicising how much money the club owe them and how they are struggling to get paid?

Can see this thread going only one way

As Status Quo once said......."Down Down, Deeper.......

Well look who started it

Another superb post Dave, no wonder the mods don't ban you as they are supposed to.

I agree

I wonder if Dave can point us in the direction of these 'cheap' comments made by Hull FC.

Grudge should move on, he can look so silly at times

What an embarrassment Hudgell is to your club. Typical one-eyed, small club mentality on show.

Keeps those that are educationally challenged happy though

Or file his accounts on time with Companies House. Or file accounts that show a profit. You can see how the fact that neither of these took place could lead to raised eyebrows.

I can.
Rule made several at the FC Fans Forum prior to the start of the season.

What were they?

He's not an embarrassment, he's just a chairman that as well as owning the club likes to get involved in the banter, he is on the wind up trying to get your backs up, and lets face it, it works every time without fail. Thats why the Rovers fans love Hudge, can you say the same about Mr. Rule?

References to fans of a certain club only being allowed credit notes if they returned any merchandise to the club shop amongst others.

No, because he is professional.

I understand what you say about Hudge, his passion for KR is unquestionable, however as the game progresses so should he.

How many other chairmen act like he does, regardless of their passion?

I'd wager...NONE!!

I think Cheekie Charlie is Hudgy's scriptwriter

Right, and where is the reference to financial difficulties??

Cheeky Charlie, sorry Dave...is Grudge

Eamonn Mcmanus

You asked for the cheap comments and i provided one.
As i said amongst others.
Not my fight, but Hudgie certainly gets under the skin of some.

Outspoken maybe...bitter I don't think so.

And the Wigan chairman
