It does seem strange that myler said one of the things he needed to do was to bring the club closer to the fans yet he's done nothing at all about it

Obviously James Clark was the media man and now he's gone nobodies doing it

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.

Just been on hull live and our “coach” has nearly put me to sleep with his assessment.Tomlinson has laid into the team and club as a whole again but he doesn’t criticise Grix at all.Im all for the shower of e that are tarnishing the great shirt getting it but why isn’t Grix??

Crazy number of articles from Dan this off season - how marvellous.

Do the HDM still cover HKR?

nope, our reporter left so we only see fc articles

its refreshing to see so many articles about a team who sat 11th and finished on 6 points compared to a team who saw a grand final

how many articles can dan do at 6am with the title 'carty has laid out a challenge' snooze fest

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

funny that pal

Just thought I'd give you some Christmas cheer.

But true.

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)).

Such a shame.

Big 3 team according to Nigel Wood, just reflective of that I guess.

I mean, we all *saw* a grand final. Only Wigan competed in it though

He probably schedules their automated posting. They do seem to attract plenty of views and comments though, good for the game.

Good to have you back Mrs B

you'll be the talk of the secret forum this evening

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.

For me it's very much a positive for the club that we still have an FC reporter/journalist at the HDM. Whilst some articles maybe similar with a little bit of a rehash at times, the off season is always a pretty slow time for new and/or interesting news but, at least it keeps the club out there in the media especially in a time that Reach Group have been cutting costs.

Let's hope for Dans sake and the club itself that the HDM continue to keep Dan on, as otherwise there'd be very little sports news other than City.

Spot on with plummeting circulation and a national base owner it took Dan many months of uncertainty working without a contract to finally prove his worth and get one and that's the sort of commitment he brings. I guess he has to have targets as to the amount of articles he places every week which in the closed season is tough to say the least. but lets face it so far he has given us exclusives on most of our signings, the take over etc way before official announcements and that as fans is all we can hope for. In the end for newspaper owners like Reach its not about service to the community but more its all about number of hits and advertising take up. But his access to players has improved and we have I think suffered in the past with having a Chief Executive who was a media man or at least thought of himself as one which saw the Mail reporters at the time stymied on occasions with the clubs outlets getting sovereignty.

Dan now gets on very well with our new coach who gets the need to keep the fans informed and as Chris says above I think its great to have a bloke who wrote the club fanzine for years and is a dedicated fan as our correspondence. Rovers had the same sort of thing with their correspondence but he looks to have walked already.

Dan tends to post the same drivel over and over, just rehashed from a different player, but as a Rovers fan I'd take that compared to what we get at the minute, if there isn't a saying that 'any drivels better than no drivel' then there should be.

Hard to say what else they could publish though "training is awful, it's too hard, I want uncle Tony back when we could cut corners"

Oh yer it's definitely hard to keep the interest up in the off season as Wilf alluded too, I'm maybe a bit jealous, (the one fc thing

)
