Why use social media to complain when you can ring the club and VOICE your concerns, or even express your opinion to the shop manageress?

Your agenda of using a headline right out of The Sun's 'book of trash' quotes followed by a rant and rave which should be directed elsewhere does you no credit at all.

Very true Paul, when I first read his post I thought I'd logged onto the HDM comments page by mistake.

Can't say I blame the OP - I stopped buying the new replicas after the 2013 season. Too much to spend when they only keep them for a season IMO. Bought the '98 Avec home shirt from a fan off here last year (I had it originally but stupidly threw it away in the early-Noughties), and love it to death, so will wear that if I go to the odd game in future.

What will it take (apart from making a final ) to turn the tide and get you back in love with your team mate?

I more or less stopped buying popular music in the mid-90s. My dad stopped following it when the Beatles came along.
I don't know what the quality of the shirts is like (I think the design is good), but from your previous posts I think your 'issue', like my 'it's been cack since Cobain died' one, or my Dad's contention that Fatz Domino was as good as it got, is about nostalgia for your youth and the good old days, more than anything else. Nowt wrong with that - but we got old, not it:)

Re making a final, Stan I promise you that's not the issue mate, because as many people rightly point out, Hull KR have been a hell of a lot lower than they are now, but the difference is there was a community back then, a team culture a passion and a unity that I don't think we'll ever see again. The next poster after you (sorry I can't remember you name - replying off a mobile and my memory's awful!) had some good points which I'll admit do apply to me, but also, and I'm sorry if this offends, in my opinion Rovers have basically had to sell their soul in order to a) make SL and then b) become a franchise. So many players have passed through the last 7 or 8 years who you know just see Hull KR as a name on a payslip. That and so many other factors (like fans fighting between themselves) make it generally an unenjoyable experience most of the time for me now, so I've just realised after 20 years it's time to finally let go.
Back to the shirts though, I haven't seen the away shirt but the home one looks about as good as they could do really with one that style. If I was Rovers though I would have done Jase's Testimonial shirt (or this new replica) white with red band, just for some contrast.

I kind of know what you mean, but I think your problems are with professional sport and not Rovers. Ok, we could go back to sub 2k gates by getting ourselves relegated and withering on the vine for a decade or so, but not everything was sweeter pre-SL. Even back then lots of players were simply employees, its just that they were that average they re-signed every season because nobody else would have them!

Modern day football & RL have sold their soles to SKY and it sucks. You have to deal with it or leave the room. Its sad you chose the latter, but you will always be welcome round here pal.
