Isn't this partnership more about off field strategies? We don't have to take any players of HKR unless we want to and they're available, exactly the same situation we are in with any other club. If we took a player from Leeds for example, we loan him, if we take one from HKR he's on Dual Reg. Same principle different terminology.

All we seem to be doing is linking up with a club who has managed to establish itself as a SL club to try and tap into the strategies to see if they can help us do the same. Why have we chose HKR, well why not, they have Chris Chester in charge, who knows our club, and they have Willie Poaching who knows our coach.

The club needs something like this to compete, but if your against it and believe it's a good reason to stop attending games then that is your right, but should this work and HRLFC gain promotion to SL, I would hope you could swallow your pride and start re-attending games again, because regardless of who the club is in partnership with, it will always need loyal, supportive fans, paying at the turn styles.

Defying logic and against instinct I actually agreed to go to a football match last Saturday. My grandson, Halifaxwilliam, on the right with Grandson Nottinghammatthew bought a scarf, half blue and white for Rochdale and half red and white for Forrest. Halifaxwilliam has agreed to lend it to me on Sunday (he will be wearing his full blue and white) so that I can be seen to be supporting both clubs.

Incidentally, my thoughts on the game of football? Picking up the ball and running with it would improve it no end.

Rugby Union owes its current status thanks to the thrashing Wigan gave Bath.
It was a wake up call.

JD, not for the first time, this comment of your's has thrown me !

I don't understand where you're going with that, but if you firmly believe that, good grief !!!!!

Guscott refused to play in that game anyway....
