And there's nothing sillier than falling out with the press is there? Why, only this season, when Rule got a bit cross with the local media and temporarily banned RH over the Reardon story, we had this comment:
Quote ="General Zod" Good PR execution in the context of the local media has changed in the last few years due to sportstalk on the BBC, KCFM starting up with specific nights for all sports clubs, HDM publishing public comments and course internet message boards like RL Fans. Thankfully, we have an inspirational leader, a talisman in [uNeil Hudgell[/u who has acknowledged this change hence his interview in the HDM after already making a statement on the club's official website on the financial rumours. He [ualso stated at our fans forum "the media are entitled to report what they like"[/u.'"
Also these unequivocal Rovers views about spats with the press:
Quote ="EL CAMO"The board [Hull FC's needs to grow up instead of taking their bat and ball home with RH every time they report a bit of news that FC don't like.'"
Quote ="phil webbo"It looks like FC have pulled up the stumps aswell as taking their bat home, just been told that they are no longer cooperating with the HDM, how sad are they
 '"
Quote ="Bransholme Red"If you can't handle a bit of criticism then you are a bunch of sad sacks.
 '"
Quote ="CHURCHILL"Or is it more, like certain people at Hull FC, that Brown can't take the pressure after months of mistakes, but can't stand to be questioned over it by the media?'"
Quote ="j_hunter_hkr"Poor old Jimmy Rule. Is someone going to pick all of those toys up for him?'"
Quote ="Captain Dave"So you only like to hear good news then ?
 Off to the hermitage with you !
'"
Quote ="Barman"FC are renowned for having a poor relationship with the media.'"
Quote ="Basil Fawlty"Take it which ever way, at the end of the day its sweetness and light for FC off field at the moment eh... jeez those blinkers are huge
 '"
Quote ="MrPhilb"To be fair it's not a huge surprise you are not talking to Radio Humberside, it's what all clubs on the slide do. '"
Quote ="red al"boo fecking hoo! get a life.
'"
Quote ="Sexual Deviant"Do we really want to see all media outlets become sickly-sweet and butter up to the people in charge? How boring would that be?
It seems Rule doesn't want to advocate freedom of speech. Why doesn't he just don an SS uniform and have done with it?'"
Quote ="blakeysrobin"I agree although radio Humberside dont pander to one club or individual and will sensationalise any news to attract listeners. Its the business they are in. While I may feel sorry for FC they have lined themselves up somewhat and for them and Rule to take the ball home everytime they dont like it is a little immature.'"

absolute madness that Rovers are taking legal advise about the coverage of their finances. The accounts are published and available for public viewing, so what exactly is wrong with the HDM bringing it to the public's attention?
Hull City have also had many headlines about their finances this year, yet I don't see them whinging about press coverage.
also HullFC have had negative financial headlines in previous years.
it is not 'unfair scrutiny' it is simply comment and discussion about financial accounts that are in the public domain.

Unless you are privy to the specifics all we can do is speculate...
Would be surprised if Rovers issue proceedings without founding... Notice the Mail have removed the article from their index. ... you can find it by other means tho' |

Indeed, Rovers obviously have something thats aggrieved them that they believe they can win whatever legal proceedings are undertaken. Wouldnt be the first time that someone has taken legal action thinking theyre in the right and then lost though would it. Believing you have a case isnt the same as winning a case.
FWIW, liable cases like this are extremely hard to prove anything and are hugely expensive and time consuming. I'd be surprised if anything comes of it tbf. |

Think you are presuming.... bottom line is Rovers unhappy with HDM article and seeking legal action - if they think they can win Rovers [imight[/i take it further... until then it is speculation... all I'm saying is HDM have dropped article from their directory... Newspapers I think are don't like admitting they are wrong - why drop the article then??? |

That speculative newspaper article has been copy and pasted to national and international news sources .If we are trying to get sponsorship from companies that have never invested in rl it could stop us getting a foot in the door |

Hang on a minute. If you're being critical of painting a bleak picture of RL finances, try your chairman's interview in The Sun here last month:
www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... -mess.html
"And Hudgell believes that if something is not done, a number of sides will be nearing ruin. Hudgell, whose Rovers side lost almost £1million in two years following promotion, said: "Everyone is reported to be losing around £500,000 per year and that cannot go on.
"We're running the danger of trying to develop a game built on foundations of sand.You could run across half of Super League and if you take out the major benefactors, that immediately throws into question the viability of the club."
More drama pitched (and to a national audience) here than a headline in the local rag, IMO. |

He didn't. Your point is irrelevant to his point. |

Not entirely. The poster suggested that Rovers could sue the HDM over adverse reporting of their financial position and its impact on prospective investors. Yet in The Sun interview a month ago Hudgell paints a grim financial picture for the sustainability of game in general and specifically questions his appetite to continue at Hull KR unless 3rd parties provide funding. |
