I haven't got anything against city and go to watch the odd game, however they aren't "successful"

Really......I think whats been around for many months is the wait for city to file accounts. Have they been put into accountants hands many months ago, or fairly recently?

The only thing I have against City personally, are the "new" rugby hating fans and your moronic chairman.

Precisely.

So in the highest league they can be in and being solvent's not succesful? How odd.

The accounts were mentioned in Private Eye at the back end of last season, the reasons for the hold up are well documented in a number of interviews and financial statements have been accepted by the Premier League and the results published . Sorry if that spoils your excitement.


As for "new" fans, our gates have gone up quite gently since the change to the new stadium, even though Premier League away fans don't seem to travel. There's a fair amount af fans that used to go to some games, that now go to most, but yes there's some pillocks that've latched on, I just thought they'd jumped over from FC. I don't think too many City fand hate RL as plenty have a lot of time for Rovers. I suppose the more mature attitude of their fans has something to do with that.

As for Duffen, I don't really understand why you hate him, bet then again, looking at what you've put about the RL's mess up with the Internationals, you seem to prefer to dislike Duffen rather than face the truth about those that run RL.

They've never won a trophy.

Ignoring the fact that City have won trophies, my local pubs won lots of trophies, does that make them more succesful than Hull FC?

What trophies are they then ? Please don't say the ty one they got for the play offs.

Okay, if a prize worth a minimum of £60,000,000 is rubbish in your eyes, there's little point me listing the others.

In relative terms, yes. Have City won anything since being in the premiership? No.

Also, there aren't many fans (of any sport) that use the balance sheet as a measure of success.

I didn't use it as a measure of success, more just to highlight the stupidity of the other guys comment. You seem to be trying to add a bit to his stupidity by adding a qualifying point to his post that wasn't there, but makes no difference anyway, unless of course you're just trying to drift the thread off topic to get it locked.

wouldn't be a bad thing

Bit rich.

As this thread is about the imminent departure of your eminent chair, it's your unexpected rants about the imagined hatred you appear to think we harbour for your insignificant team that have caused any diversion.

We aren't bothered about your club. As Duffen is also chair of the SMC we do have an interest in him and his operations which affect our stadium - if his consortium goes bust we are going to speculate on how that could affect us and the future management of the stadium.

In my opinion, that will be for the better - adieu, Mr D.

Well, where do I start with that pile of nonsense?

I've not ranted and if you read, you'll find I'm not anti-RL and simply responded to some rubbish someone posted. I hope that clears that up for you.

As for the Chairman going, I too have read this rumour but know little more about it. What you seem to be missing is that both Duffen and Pearson served Hull FC well. FC had the opportunity to get on board and chose not to. The RL screwed up the opportunity to have the International here despite the efforts of the SMC. Should the SMC be sold, it'll quite probably be sold 'as is' which would mean you could well have no more input to the SMC than you do now.

Be careful what you wish for, it could just come true.
