The difference being that we survived quite nicely without Rovers in SL for many, many years. And we will do again if necessary.

also the away fans only have to make one trip to Hull now and with City of Culture next year it might be a bigger benefit to FC.

Brilliant dg from o'brien to win it and much deserved after they outscored rovers 4 tries to 3

Very much so. Hell of a drop - nearly landed in Zeebrugge.

Gutted for lads i know that support kr,blackpool bash for them next season.

and a visit to toulouse too

so not all bad

get rid of kelly, tilse, allgood, campese and peacock and save yourself £600k+

Wish we could sign Sio

Wonder if Peacocks glad he came out of retirement now?

Well after 36 years of that boring one line song being put in our faces, being spat at as I left Caravan Park, and all the taunting and threats I have personally got for writing and honest blog about the team I love and the one I don't every week, I certainly feel for the players but as for the fans, Mr Hudgell and Co, I repeat my comment earlier. What comes round comes round and " Oh how I laughed!"

I think the reaction to their demise is in some way due to the bullish way in which they entered super league.
Grudgell promised to take the city back, sign up the best young players and re-sign all those contracted Hull FC players that were desperate to join the dobbins. He then had his vanity signing in Paul Cooke, which was aimed as much at damaging Hull FC then strengthening the dobbins.
Allied to Justin Morgan, they were full of it.
I enjoyed their record breaking Wembley defeat.
I enjoyed them losing their only song this year.
I'll enjoy watching them lose players they'd liked to have kept.
What goes around comes around.

Well said Wilf. Incredible game, with probably the most outstanding finish to a RL game in many a year.

With you on this Wilf.

never good for anyone to lose their livelihood and I do feel for some of the employees involved.

That said, that ending couldnt have happened to a nicer fella in Neil Hudgel. For a bloke who comes out with such small minded comments I am glad his decisions (sacking a coach who eventually lead the least wealthy club to safety and the frankly poor decision to employ someone with zero management experience in Peacock) are directly responsible for taking them down.

As for many of their fans, lets see just how many are "rovers til they die".
