Quote: Faithful One "My support goes deeper then the first team. By wanting to show my disappointment and frustration, I am supporting the club.'"
I totally understand everyone's reaction to these proposals and mine were pretty much along the same lines until I stopped and asked myself "How many super league standard players have "either" club produced over the last 10 years from local talent ?" None? 1 or 2 ?
Then I read that the number of youngsters playing the game has dropped by half over the last 5 years?
I do believe this is the way forward to have the best youngsters in the town playing together has to the best for them and Hull and Rovers.
As regards who's gong sign which player once they are ready. I am pretty sure that will be agreed by Hull and Rovers well before that point is reached. Also I would think the player and his agent will have a big say in his choice of club.
We have to move the times and think what is best for the players and the club.
Yes some players will miss out and not get in the team simply because they are not good enough. But having said that how many players are late developers or are good prospects at a young age and then don't get any better. It is not an exact science. There are no guarantees .
I for one am behind anything that helps to improve the game.
Talking of which I hope to hell we improve today on Wednesdays performance. I believe there will have to be a realisation by some players that they are playing for their futures.
Come ye ull!!
