True but I just get annoyed when FC fans bring up the issue of us blocking the drop so we could close you down but the seem to have selective memories that you (FC) tried it first with the irish lot.

Wasn't that to merge?

We were in dire straights with no money and in administration, Wilby tried to get us on the cheap (Almost for nothing) but was told no he then went on and got FC, shortly after the Irish consortium(sp) appeared.
The Irish lot wouldnt give any assurances over playing at craven park, keeping the name or anything else.
You call it a merger if you want but it kinda speaks for itself and the administrator thankfully saw right through it.

Like I have said both teams have played that game and neither came out of it with any credit.

It was Hull KRs very own chairman Barry Lilley who was the main instigator at the meeting that denied Hull FC the chance of being relegated. He hoped that rallying the other club he would would force FC out of business and many KR fans at the time where cock a hoop over the plan.


Thanks Mr Lilley


Where the two Irishmen part of the plan to close you down or part of a merger plan, a plan your Mr Lilley proposed in 1995. Wilby wanted KR and FC to merge to get a promise of SL out of the RFL, FC won promotion and he no longer wanted KR anymore and that is the fact presented in the programme "Trouble at the top " Rovers Return. Putting that into a well known clip site will get you the whole story in three glorious episodes, laugh so much my sides hurt



Thanks again Barry


I would contribute a few pounds to a statue raised in his honour and few more £££s for the flock of specially prune fed pigeons that would be needed to sit on it ..................

Nice

AUP rule 2.1

and could even be libelous

I gave you time to amend the spelling. Didnt want to make you look thick....Would have been an easy win though.

That Anakin guy is a stroker and reminds me of why I would never be a Mod , f**k off to your own board , to**er

So in otherwords.
I (Tarquin Fuego) want to lambast rovers and their former chairman but then the very second someone reminds me of the facts that I conveniently forgot I'm going to start getting upset and then start throwing insults.
Have I missed anything?

Can you actually show evidence of these facts.

I've done business with Tim Wilby and have spoken with him about what went on when he tried buying rovers and his reasons behind it.

The documentry that is shown on that certain site only show certain bits and certainly didn't tell the whole story about what went on at the time and unless you where actually involved with the negotiations doubt you would have any true idea what went on.

And to state as fact you know what either Tim Wilby or the Irish bidders intended is rubbish...

The difference between what you state as facts and what Hull Fc fans state as facts is that your then chairman told everyone what his intentions and hopes were.

So discuss Bulls plight or it goes.

don't be mean, nothing is Anakin's fault, it's EVERYONE else who keeps him down.

no mention of the behaviour of the MODS from KR, I guess they are above the AUP?
