Why not, it's been done before.'"
Do Rovers still owe Allam for one of his other 'gifts to the city' (£1m? - loose cannon terms apply)

Forgot about that "gift"
No bad for a club that never get any help!
I suspect they'll stay up, but won't shed any tears if they don't.
What goes around comes around. Especially for Grudgell and his bullish posturing.

| Quote: Mrs Barista "When Hull KR were fleetingly ahead of us around 2009 Hudgell did a big article saying that Hull FC were of no consequence; Rovers were the best team in Hull and would next become the best team in Yorkshire. Well here he is now, £4m sunk and stood on a trapdoor whilst we're polishing the Challenge Cup, the enormity of winning which at Wembley he salivated about to any journo listening last August.
Rovers will remain in Superleague but maybe the posturing should be toned down and the empty vessel fans in a state of undress better managed.'"
Empty vessels posturing. Mmm.

Have you forgotten Lilleys campaign to try and put us out of business.
As far as I'm concerned Rovers can drop down the divisions like a stone and disappear forever.

Me, (word removed - Chris). If you want to know what it's like not to have them around, go back in time( not that long ago). We didn't play them for 10-15 years, it was heaven. They're blight on the Earth and Grudge is Satan. See, it's even easier. 36 years of one single song, a club house named after the result, segregation at the ground, a plane flies over there's and FC are childish, come on.

And I still put a tenner into that stupid Walk for Rovers campaign, that was a great one.

Apparently we are (word removed - Chris) for wanting the enemy to suffer and fail!

| I wouldn't stop laughing for a long long time if they went down.
I really couldn't care. We lasted many years without them in super league and would continue to do so.
