Quote: fun time frankie "Never took you for such a bitter and twisted individual Wilf so you hate every Single Rovers fan what a very sad man you must be'"

I don't think he said he hated every single Rovers fan and many of us have friends and family who support KR and felt some genuine sympathy yesterday for them. However your chairman has hardly been Kofi Annan has he? A sly did whenever possible, clocks stopped at 6.42, "soon all the good Hull lads will want to play for Hull KR" and so on. He's the equivalent of a sed up Salford fan yesterday invading the pitch shirtless and beckoning us on. Excuse the schadenfreude, it's mere reciprocation. £4m quid sed away to be back where he started in the Championship, only with the monster debt of a new stand and threat of action over crowd trouble hanging over him. Maybe not too shocking that empathy's limited when the tone from the top is what it is and has been. icon_lol.gif

Quote: Dave K. "Peacock says he is staying and Rovers fans all over Twitter claiming he is some kind of legend for doing so, don't they realise he will be on a big salary and bet he won't take a paycut, plus he is the main person responsible for the mess Rovers are in.

I'd bet he will be back at Leeds before within the next 2 years.'"



Only someone up their own ass would tell the world that he offered to resign but his boss was having none of it

Still expect them to continue to take their usual 100,000 away following to each Championship too.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:

Well unless I'm missing something where does he state or even say he hates Rovers fans let alone every single one of you?

The fact is there will be quite a few Hull FC fans who whilst having a modicum of sympathy like myself that your club has been relegated, will also not be having too many sleepless nights over it on the whole thanks to the actions of your chairman.

Your illustrious leader has systematically taken potshots at our club and fans and his over whelming desire to get one over Hull FC at every opportunity he could, his actions created a real bitterness in the rivalry between the clubs and supporters. This in turn rubbed off on quite a few Rovers staff and why Hull FC fans whilst having some sympathy will not be sorry that Rovers have been relegated.

Its your Chairman that has got your club relegated by his petty hatred of Hull FC and his 'At any cost'attitude to get one over us, which has eventually caught up with him and your club as a result is now paying that heavy price.

It looks like your owner is already worried about the lost revenue. See the HDM for details.

Wont be long before he is in the mail crying about the sub 10,000 crowds next season. Didn't he quote needing more than 14,000 average.

Don't worry about us, we'll be fine like we were before you came up. Concentrate on planning your trips to Batley, Dewsbury, Swinton and Oldham.

No, he said he wanted 14k but then he'd be making a tidy wedge at those figures so who can blame him

No, he said However, with much more investment still needed, Pearson says the club must get back towards the peak of 2007 – when the club averaged more than 14,500 fans – to balance the books.

HULL FC will record losses in excess of £300,000 this year – with new owner Adam Pearson blaming 'serious under-investment' in recent years.

Pearson, who bought the Super League club last July, says he has been shocked by the state of the club's finances since taking control.

And he told the Mail he bought a club which – despite being considered one of the most financially healthy in the game – was 'creaking at the seams'.

Poor performances on the field, combined with the tough economic climate, saw crowds fall significantly at the KC.

FC only managed to surpass 12,000 on three occasions last season, compared to eight times in 2010.

And Pearson says the club now faces a long and difficult road back to profitability as a result.

"Let's get one thing out in the open, this club does not make a profit as may have been reported," Pearson told the Mail.

"The club will be ending the financial year for 2011 by posting a loss of £300,000, and I can't see that changing in the short term because there quite simply wasn't enough investment going in.

"I now understand clearly why the previous board were attempting to sell, and that is because they were going to have to put some money into it.

"This club is creaking at the seams with under-investment and that has to be addressed."

Pearson has made sweeping changes at the KC Stadium, on and off the field, during his six months at the helm.

It has sparked renewed optimism amongst supporters, with more than 8,000 having bought season tickets for the forthcoming season.

However, with much more investment still needed, Pearson says the club must get back towards the peak of 2007 – when the club averaged more than 14,500 fans – to balance the books.
