Whens your reception?

we don't have a reception when we just got dry b.mmed on national television and made a total a,rse of ourselves to boot,but hey ho enjoy your reception like you did your day out lol

Fifty-nil, though. In a Cup Final. At Wembley. Live on the BBC.



At least you have your welcome home parade to look forward to. Forecast is heavy rain.

Some Straw Clutching going on here.

I am not 100% sure you are all been truthful with yourself here, and are using this to hopefully justify your teams inability to win at the national stadium and remove that monkey off you're back. There's only one way that monkey can be removed however and our shambles yesterday does not do it. FWIW, i believe you will win the cup within 3 years then that ghost is laid to rest.

Realistically, winning at the national stadium or getting beat 50 nil is pretty irrelvant ( although it hurts like hell) what clubs are gauged on is the number of titles/trophies. And for both clubs to be winning so little is the big problem.

With regards the banter, you have got to go at it shoe on the other foot i would be howling like you lot are! what makes our great city so special, and this little banner/flag off thing that is going on for me is pretty fun. Rivalry like ours is special and we should have as much as possible. Don't overdo it though by saying stupid things like you have embarrassed the city, thats just a bit weird.

Enjoy your fishing expeditions!

Yep that's why 3 cup wins to 1 is far better than any Wembley win

Seriously though, there are some FC fans who do get stressed about never having won at Wembley, I'm not one of them.

Of course the point of the thread is that KR love spouting the never won at Wembley line, but after yesterday I reckon we will hear less and less of it, cos they know that the result yesterday will just be thrown in their face.

And whether you believe it or not, I would rather have never been a winner at Wembley, but won the cup in recent memory than have the tag of record defeat around our necks, quite possibly for decades!

Nah. It really is just Rovers fans in the main who have this odd idea about winning at Wembley. Pretty much nobody else cares.

Of course, if my club had only been able to muster the one win in living memory - and that over 30 years ago - I suppose I might also hold the stadium where it happened in especially high regard. Luckily I don't have to suffer that embarrassment. Or the even greater one that occurred yesterday.

if that gets you a reception shouldn't we get something for being in the top 8?

Not even mentioning it to my KR mates, it's so bad it doesn't even need rubbing in (yet).

If you don't think losing 50-0 is somewhat embarrassing for the city you need to have a word with yourself. It's not irrelevant in the context of RL in Hull. It's quite a big deal. There is no doubt whatever the capitulation yesterday softens the Wembley hoodoo for us. It's not gone, but we've won the cup three times and the latest experienced first hand by the majority of our fans. I don't bang on about Agincourt when going to Catalans.

Context is important here. It's been 30 odd years in the making. Your club has taken 9 years and spent £4m to make the massive progress of losing 50-0 in a semi final to losing 50-0 in a final. Odds of it coming round again soon with a better outcome look pretty long.

It was fifty nil though.

That humiliation will affect them going into 2016 too. Financially and the damage it's caused will set them back 10 years.

Didn't Chester have the honour of another RL record for Rovers with the 84-6 demolition by Wigan too last year? He's just determined to leave his mark, isn't he?



It says a lot when a team is more bothered about the venue than the result.

Doesn't it though? Mind you, when the score's that bad, any vicarious distraction will be ramped up.

Not sure what to say, but crack on I would do the same that is why its a good crack. As many of you will do the same, I SUPPORT HULL KINGSTON ROVERS, and its from choice and parents who show you the path of who to support. We got absolutely dry bum+ed yesterday. But life goes on, I Love all Rugby League fans, and would never bore of conversation with them. I still don't like Hull FC Tho!!

Good on you.

well said brid man
