If it's true then the club have sunk further than I thought possible. Censorship of the press? Sounds like something stalin or hitler would do to keep the bad publicity from surfacing. Laughable

Pretty much how I read it also.

If this [iis[/i the sole reason for the ban, then someone needs to get a grip. Frankly the club should have a thicker skin - it's only a local rag trying to raise it's circulation FFS.

won't make much difference its just all about city nowadays anyway

rlSomeone had better tell Rich Agar then.rl

I could be wrong but think they have a ore match press conference earlier on the week were all the media are there. The ban will probably be 1 on 1 interviews.

I'm getting more and more fed up with the club each day. We are the laughing stock of rugby league at the minute and cutting links with the 2 biggest media links in the city won't help change that.

My dad likes to

I think there is more to this than people think.

HDM called Agar after 10pm the other night and were blatantly trying to provoke a reaction - he took the call, was giving them a story but then they tried digging and asking questions that he didnt and shouldnt have to answer.

if anyone called me after 10pm at night then id probably tell them to ram it. its his own personal time with his family and a 5hit journalist from the HDM is trying to incite him to say something that he can print the next day

I was as annoyed as anyone when i first heard the story but there is a reason for anything the club do. Not saying this is the right thing, but it may make the HDM think twice before they call after 10pm!

Was that when she shaved her beard in her younger days???

To be honest I think the club are right,

they printed a full page story about rearden (a former Hull FC player!!!), who gives a , they were going on about it and the new link to the NHS.

even as a rovers fan i thought they were just stirring.

and then Burnsy on RH just can't leave it alone.

The thing that really annoys me is they would not do it to Hull City.

Good on HFC hope Rovers ban them soon.

There's no doubting that the HDM is a pi$$ poor excuse for a newspaper staffed by talentless hacks. There's no doubting that they're constantly trying to rake up muck about [iboth[/i RL sides. But this is not the best way to deal with the situation IMO. It just gives them extra ammunition and pretty much [icarte blanch[/i to print what they like.

The people who probaby made the decision to call won't be Hullites or Hullensians (whatever we are) and the sports dept won't have any say over what goes on in the "news" section. They will not care if circulation drops and more redundancies are made, they will just move on to their next "project" - don't forget if they were any good they wouldn't be working there!

www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league ... p?ID=12364 Just makes us look more like a club with no clue really. The problem is when you decide not to talk to the media you then get no chance to make your own points on the various issues. It seems that every few months something else turns up and bites us on the a$$. What's next???

They do that anyway mate. The standard of journalism is at kindergarten level both in the local paper and on blunderside. As has been stated elsewhere this wouldn't happen to the beloved Hull City. Not sure about the cutting of links - I can see reasons for and against doing it. On balance it's probably better not to but if a siege mentality arises as a result of it and transfers itself into the minds of the players we might see some benefit. I'd like to see the fans back the club on this and as a group tell the mail to f*** off but doubt that will happen in the current climate.

Doubt many people on here buy the wail anyway except maybe the day after a game. The paper is complete garbage.
