| From Standing in the park selling a fanzine he had spent all week to produce, to taking part in the then fans organisation, to a dedicated podcast on the team, to the Mail, as an FC nut he aint done bad. its good for me to know that a fan is reporting for the Mail and one who gets what it is like for us lot and who isn't afraid to hold the clubs feet to the flames and sometimes say exactly what we are thinking.
He was close to being disposed of by the owners of the paper a while back, ( because I noted, that the circulation of the printed tome had sunk from 177,000 a few years ago to around 7,000 now and it is real trouble) but instead of chucking in the towel he stuck it out, argued his case and after pressure from several angles he got retained on a temporary basis which is still as far as I know his situation.
I agree completely with Chris that if it weren't for Dan we would hear next to nothing about our club. Just compare the two or three bits we get from him every day and the zilch we get from the Club. Look at today after a despicable performance on Friday we still hear nothing, all we get is Grixy wringing his hands every post match but no words of consolation, explanation or even empathy from above for us all? I know Degsy is a dick but at least the Leigh fans hear from him!!! Trouble is I guess some just have to have someone to have a go at, and Dan falls into that category, quite frankly I don't know about you but my weekly life as an FC fanatic and my discussions about it with my pals throughout, has been pretty much cut and paste this year anyway!

| Yes, Dan is a true Black & White and deserves credit for telling it how it is.

| I see today he's floated the fact that the Club are shopping Sao around Super league with a view to bringing in an NRL middle. ironically that's something some of his own protagonists have wanted to happen. Once again he's letting a bit of a cat out of the bag in advance no doubt thanks to the contacts he and Smailsey have amongst a couple of CE's and some of the players agent and what does he do, he verifies it and then tell us all about it. No doubt the club won't like it but he's a fan, it might not come to anything but you can bet your life its happening, and he's got a blooming good record on such early disclosures over his time at the Mail as well but obviously some would rather see him gone and us not get them.

| If Myler did a few more interviews would we just criticise him for saying the same thing over and over?

| Dan actually touched on this in the latest addition on the podcast him and Matt Shaw host regarding the difficulty of his position, he is first and foremost a fan, and from his tone on the podcast every time i have listened it is clear that it is hurting him just as much as it hurts us. However it is important to remember that this is his profession, and that maintaining a relationship with the club is vital for his work.
Having said this, it does get very repetitive reading essentially the same article week in week out, in recent weeks his articles with players all revolve around the hard pre-season to come. I get the impression that the players simply do not care about the rest of this season, as reflected on last friday's performance, which again, is completely unacceptable.
For Myler, I think he has spoken well and updated probably as much as he can. As mentioned above, it really does feel like this club just wants to get the next 10 days out the way and start on a clean slate, if from there we see more of an effort to bridge the gap between the club and it's supporters we will have to wait and see.

Bigger club. Start winning trophies and you may get more coverage.

They got a new reporter in who somehow managed the incredible accomplishment of actually been worse than Appleyard. However I barely see his articles anymore. Everything Rovers related seems to come from Shaw and his ridiculous bias (but no suprise considering the club funded him a trip to Tenerife last pre season (which is just weird in itself)).

| The articles are a bit samey for sure but they are harmless.
Odd to think that KR's last trophy success predates not just the Hull Live website but Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web. Reports of that win would have been typed out on one of those new-fangled micro computers by the reporter of the day and eventually printed on the old Hull Daily Mail presses down Jameson Street.

Oh no not you again for heaven sakes 'your reporter left'?? Would he be the guy who just 6 months ago said he was an all time Rovers supporter who had just 'secured his dream job reporting on a club he loves'? Dream job obviously turned into a nightmare pretty quickly then, could it be that someone else associated with Rovers, has become disenchanted very quickly just as I would add we have all become with you! Merry Christmas!

| You must be actively seeking out Dans articles to pass comment on them? Very weird.
Wonder if 2025 will see the first departure from the “Power Board”
Worry about that instead.

We've already had that this month, Ian Richardson resigned according to Companies House. Nothing from the club announcing his departure though.

Earlier then I anticipated.
As long as Neil and Paul are still there, seeing as they own the ground/land. Hull KRs new landlords.
