Let's face it the real reason behind this move is the marquee player rule, the money saved on running academies will go towards a marquee player for both sides, discusting and honestly thought Adam Pearson was better then that.

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"This is an absolute nonsense. The answer was to improve coaching standards at junior level at both clubs and improve progression for two lots of juniors, not combine into one mega-poor academy.
Ridiculous move. Can you imagine saints and Wigan doing this?!
I'd be livid if this was my club.'"
Spot on.
What Hull FC and Hull KR should've done is announce the building of a joint academy complex that could share facilities, staff and costs but keep the 2 academy teams seperate. |

| Quote Gallanteer="Gallanteer"This is definately not the first steps to a full merger, as Neil Hudgell states plainly in the official statement. It would make no financial sense to do so. The best gate both clubs get is for the derbies. Removing that would be a mistake. Plus, the innevitable would happen with a relaunch of clubs with the original names in the lower ranks.
I don't stand on the terraces and shout Come on Rugby League, I shout Come on Rovers. If the club folded I would probably just give up watching the sport, after all, as a full time employed middle aged bloke, there's plenty of pressure already for me to do other things.
As for the merged academy? It may work and get more kids involved although the draft system is the big unknown.'"
Actually, the best gate we have had the last two seasons has been for Leeds (ground record), because a lot of FC fans refuse to come, first it was the south stand, now with no excuse because of the new north stand. Most say it because 'we don't want to give Rovers money'. I don't like giving FC money, but the most important factor to me is going and supporting my team. |

Worth noting that both of these clubs voted against bringing back U21s that has caused problems in developing players ever since.'"

Must be hard to be a Hull Fc fan these past 24 hours. Losing last night and today Pearson announcing today practically the first step for the two Hull clubs to merge.

I haven't met a Hull or Rovers supporter who is happy with this news. What can we do though?

No it was because you gave away over a thousand tickets for the Leeds game but that's a different subject !!!
Who is going to watch the u19s ?? Side by side with your arch enemies , cheering on the same team ?? |

Here's the moron giving SLTV an interview about the merger (from outside his new home, Elland Road!):

Get out of our club. |

I think if we lose again on Sunday it'll all kick off at the KC, haven't seen this much anger aimed at the club since the Paul Cooke debacle in 2007. |

Penny pinching that will benefit nobody in the long run.
If this is a good idea do it throughout super league with Wigan/saints, wire/widnes, leeds/bradford, wakey/cas, salford/hudds joint academy's and play a 6 team mini league.
However it is just to save a few quid, probably to sign another overseas player. Luckily for England Hull don't produce any international players so they won't be missed
