These Dull fans remind me of that Iraqi War Minister.
You know the one who use to do all the press conferences telling the world that Iraq was winning all the battles and that the war was only days from ending.

one thing all the hull fans will have to aknowledge is that we at this club have pulled together and the fans we have are true to the club as success has been limited to say the least,the board has been superb of late (thanks hudgie) the marketing of it being the pride of east hull is a masterstroke. In response to the power balance shifting i think we are still a way off that however the gap is at its smallest it has been for many a year but underlying infrastructure at the KC is very good their youth policy is top notch the only problem hull have in my humble opinion is kath and cronies, they will leave hull with suitcases full o cash and shimmy back to wence they came from which is miles from here

Pride of East Hull. Since when have Newland Ave and Kirkella been in East Hull. Have you been at them thar cigars again.

for starters, were are our crowds "getting smaller" our gate against Wakefield was a 1,000 up, against London was a 100 up, Saints 600 up (with a few hundred less away fans)

we are expected to be announcing a significant profit, wait for the figures

the pitch isnt our fault, we dont maintain it

I agree with the pride and passion part...but dont get carried away, so far youve played awful sides like Sheffield (who we got our record score against the other year), fetherstone and york acorn.

We are in a lull no-one can deny that, but its early days, who knows we might be having similar threads on your board if you loose to Widnes, Leigh, Whitehaven etc...its a long season ahead.

4000 down on the Leeds game last year

to be expected in the circumstances of this week and how we've been playing though...I can understand some not wanting to pay this week...as they were unsure what kind of performance we'd give (after the Saints performance was a discrase)

more perfromances like that will bring back the crowds, as it was a great game of RL to watch...which cant be said for our past 6months or so performances.

we also play Leeds once again in the summer...so it wont affect our average much (as obviously Leeds twice brings in more than Leigh twice)

so im not worried at all, we're almost out of the dip now..new coach, new beginning.

I can see a massive shift in power very soon.
with Hull fc gates getting smaller HKRs getting bigger
a new super stadium going to happen in east hull.
Rovers on the up
Hull fc going further down the league 7th at the moment.
And with the financial situation Hull in the red (figures to be released soon)
Rovers with money to spend.
The whole squad at rovers playing as a team and enjoying there rugby
Hull fc with in fighting john kerr to be sacked sooner rather than later
players not wanting to play.
things certainly look more rosy at craven park.
who knows hull may get relegated this season and rovers may go up.
Hull fc playing with no heart or passion getting stuffed at home.
Rovers playing with flair and pride.
Rovers having one of the very best playing surfaces in rugby league.


YOU ARE DREAMING OH MY LORD.


AS I HAVE SAID IN A DIFFERENT THREAD, I WISH ROVERS ALL THE BEST, AND AS AN FC FAN, WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO RE-IGNITE THE DERBY GAMES.

LETS BE HONEST, IT WONT HAPPEN, AND EVEN IF IT DID, ROVERS WOULD GET THUMPED WEEK IN WEEK OUT, JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUSLY ELECTED CHUMPS HAVE DONE. WITH THE PI$$ POOR ATTENDANCES AND SHOCKING GROUND, ROVERS CAN'T SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN COMPETE WITH THE MIGHTY BLACK & WHITES ANYTIME SOON!!!!!

YOU WILL RESPOND BY SAYING ''WELL AT LEAST THE GROUNDS OURS'' AND ALL THAT RUBBISH, ALL I CAN SAY IS *CHANGE THE RECORD*, THATS NEARLY AS BORING AS CALLING US GATES-HULL-THUNDER-SHARKS, OR SAYING WE NEVER GOT PROMOTED, WHICH WE DID IN 1997, WHEN WE BEAT HUDDERSFIELD IN THE FINAL ((UP WHERE WE BELONG VIDEO PROVES IT!))

YOU CANT EVEN SAY ABOUT OUT POOR FORM THIS SEASON, BECAUSE THAT WAS BLATANT PLAYER POWER, AND THE LEEDS GAME PROVES IT. ALTHOUGH WE LOST, THE COMMITMENT AND EFFORT WAS THERE. WE COULDVE WON, AND NEARLY DID, BUT JUST LOST TO THE 2ND BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY, A TEAM THAT IS USED TO WINNING WEEK IN, WEEK OUT. THE FACT IS, THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!

ROVERS FANS, YOU DONT HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON WHEN IT COMES TO BRAGGING RIGHTS, OR ATTEMPTS TO WIND UP B&W FANS.

SO GIVE IT A REST.

HERE'S TO LIFE IN SUPER LEAGUE!
Hull fc having a shared cabbage patch to play on.
I rest my case

And your a fool.

Salford and Huddersfield have both been in our league in recent years and are both now and will probably finish above the krap at the KC at the end of this season

Cas have just been promoted and have the same number of points as you.

In which final did you beat Huddersfield in 1997 because the record books show they beat you in the Premiership final at the end of that season ???

Oh and you gave Leeds a game.
A team which played the 2nd half with no bench due to injuries.

Keep em coming it reminds me how stupid some of you are.
