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.

your memory must be awful i dont remember any good times in the 90s really players came and went pretty much as they did now the people who ran the club didnt have the fans best interests at heart thats for sure so all this talk of passion and unity and community is bullsh$t

Guess what??? I already have and guess what again??? Not a reply from Rovers

If you used the same terminology in your email to the club as you did in your original post i'm not surprised that you did not get a response. Have you tried constructive criticism rather than abuse? When I have written to the club with suggestions I have always Received an early reply with an explanation about the clubs actions. Try it you may be surprised.

Cravenpark1 you're right mate, and apologies for my whinging posts last night, guess was just feeling s**t about other stuff. Got a text advertising Jase's Testimonial match and thought "Hmm, might have to be at that", so I must still care deep down.

Sorry again.

That's the spirit. The testimonial will feel like a throwback anyway. 3-4000 gate, Halifax in town, and a couple of old faces hopefully on show. Add in the fact that it will be sub-zero temperatures and presto, Craven Park pre-SL!.

Except the pitch won't look like no mans land in 1914.
