[quote="bishops finger":1bt7xynl]Dan tends to post the same drivel over and over, just rehashed from a different player, but as a Rovers fan I'd take that compared to what we get at the minute, if there isn't a saying that 'any drivels better than no drivel' then there should be.[/quote:1bt7xynl] I sympathise wholeheartedly with any 'decent' honourable Rovers fans (there are exceptions as this board at times proves) this morning when as I opened the front page of Hull daily Mail sport online there were 6 FC stories and one old measly offering about Dean Hadley visible for Rovers. I'd like to think that all the backing James Smailes gave to our reporter and the fact that at least a dozen people I know (probably many more) lobbied him and the Newspaper Group nationally about FC's continued visibility in the local 'paper' help maintain his presence. I hope Rovers get a reporter (as it will give them something to read about their team and us something to laugh at and of course vice versa) because most of all the game locally regionally and nationally needs as much coverage as possible and the local rag has undoubtably always played a big part in the greatest rivalry in Rugby league. Any sympathy however ends there

[quote="walter wall":2h0wkljd]Encouraging the new owner's saw the rubbish we served up last season and still bought the club.Lot of rumours Kath handed over to AP with a few problems he was not aware of. Don't think that is the case here. I have no idea if they are expecting to make money after 3 years or how but I certainly feel happier about our future than I did[/quote:2h0wkljd] Good post I can assure you Kath handed over a load of trouble for Adam when he took over and he had to honour some promises made by the departing administration, CE Plummer and all, there were a few surprises too, but several promises that I guess he wouldn't have made himself and a couple of well hidden 'skeletons' I know about .... all water under the bridge so nuff said. As for the new lot, the 3 year bit interested me as well. I am told that they hope to attract a lot more sponsorship investment etc. into the club and they are already on with that with their mates so perhaps that explains the 3 year bit. But we could be in a lot of a worse position and exciting times ahead.... I hope!

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":1tuxf33y]Is he spinning hype? I would say not. It's the same type of articles you could read for any club. The players are hardly going to say training is going badly or that we're going to finish bottom. I guess people read into these articles what they want to.[/quote:1tuxf33y] Of course it isn't, just a Rovers fan putting a negative spin on things. Has Dan made any over the top predictions, just things are better which they clearly are after the shambles of last year.

From what I remember this time last year AP was talking about that we’d only be attractive to outside investors once we climbed up the table and had renegotiated the lease. The lease is obviously something that’s been mentioned that they’re keen to get sorted but doesn’t seem to have been a major deal breaker for the new owners, at least what’s been said publicly anyway. The really exciting thing for supporters is that there’s no way that anyone could come in and maximise revenues etc without major improvements on the field. If the new owners want to eventually make this a fruitful investment they’ll be just as determined for success on the field as the supporters. It’s not like a PL football club that you can simply do enough to avoid relegation every year and watch the money roll in. Nothing is a given in sport but on the face of it this seems as close to a dream scenario as possible. Having a rich sugar daddy would be great, but that’s always risky (see Salford and Koukcash) I’m sure the owners with their reputations in business will want to make this a long term profitable venture.
