As I said, purely from a business point of view, all things considered (not just the gate receipts), Rovers in SL doesn't benefit Hull FC. Rovers compete with us for the same finite resources in an area not exactly rich in those resources (players, new fans, corporates, sponsors). From that business point of view, they're better in the Championship and staying there.

And it's exactly the same the other way round.

As a fan, I want them in SL. It makes for a more interesting season.


As for the £100k gate receipts the bloke writing gibberish is going on about, that we'd lose if Rovers went down, it could be easily be made up by Hull's gates going up by around 400 on average, easily achievable. Even the Warrington game this weekend will be a good 5/6k above our average, there's a 100k right there - battling at the top of SL would far outweigh any loss from Rovers going down.

what a clown, rovers in superleague dosent benefit hull fc, you compete with the bigger budgeted clubs for players not just rovers who have a far lesser pot to spend as for new fans east is east and west is west thats how it will stay and so will the sponsors who will back a successful side

oh dear. go give your mouth a wipe and re-read what I'm writing. This isn't a go at Rovers.

To address your points:

- Competing for players - I obviously meant youngsters mainly, but it also applies for players currently at the clubs. A Hull player could move to Rovers much more easily than to say Warrington, where they may be put off by having to move home. The battling for players also inflates their wages, from youngsters all the way up, as well as backroom staff.

- Competing for new fans - if Rovers weren't in SL then it wouldn't be East or West would it, as evidenced by your crowds the last time you were outside SL. Also, Bransholme is a predominantly black n white area, always has been.

- Sponsors, you're right, they'd rather attach themselves to a better team/product, but we're still battling for that finite marketing budget. A firm could pay us £20k to be our collar sponsor, but if Rovers are wanting£20k to be main shirt sponsor, then they'll go with that as the audience is pretty much the same (RL fans), but they'd get it seen. No Rovers = no competition for that marketing £ pot.

I'm an FC fan and definitely do not want Rovers to go down.

Firstly, I love the Derbies, the rivalry and the history.
Secondly, it's good for the City of Hull if all our three teams (City too) are in their top leagues as it attracts more away fans, more tourism, more spend in the city etc
Finally, from a Hull perspective, an extra 8,000 fans that a Derby at the KC generates compared with a crowd of 10,000 v Huddersfield/Salford probably generates nearer £200k revenue pa when you include entrance, programmes etc.

When you bear in mind we will win £100k tomorrow night if we lift the LLS, then double that amount from a Derby each season is not to be sniffed at.

Good luck on Saturday and we'll see you on Good Friday.
