A guy who owns an estate agents, Two ex Hull players and one of thems son have made move to purchase Hull FC. This is what I heard at weekend. Laughed it off but if it comes true you heard it here first.

Not with Nick Though

Mally walker and his son own victoria plumb................

You couldn't make all this up could you ? ... Oh , hang on !!

Well given the choice of continuing with Pearson/Radford and bringing Noble in or new owners id go for new owners every time. Would love a fan to take control ala Hudghell, employ a decent coach and get some pride back in the club, the players, the shirt and the fans!

Who's this "Nick Though"?

Remember an interview with him before Cardiff. Certainly loves the club.

Yeah kr are winning everything & playing with real pride!

Uww secret dobbin..

No, just not a blinkered fool

Is it? I thought people went to Soccer Sensations, the feedback on Jake Quickenden was one of embarrassment, coupled with some crappy interviews with players where the announcer got their names wrong. Aspirational.

My work is connected with KR and from that and some of my Rovers mates i get a sense of buzz from them and have done for years, a buzz thats been lacking from FC fans and indeed the club. It embraces and actively encourages local KR supporting business people to get involved with the club in any way they can which is something FC does not - FC is almost sterile to the customer or local business with very little connection and it shows. Ive got lots of FC friends too and very few have any pride or connection with FC anymore including myself. Our club is a mess from top to bottom, a rudderless ship with a captain akin to Francesco Schettino of Costa Concordia fame and thats not gonna change whilst Pearson remains at the club

Yeah, this must be why Rob Crossland tweeted after Rovers fans bellyaching about their poor start to the season something like "Monday's word of the day: fickle". How does their community programme compare to ours in terms of hours spent by players in local schools, courses run etc? This utopian scenario of fan pride was embodied by a full 150 fans tipping up at the DW. I don't disagree that FC could do more with local business, but painting a picture that Hull KR are some sort of trailblazer is pushing it. Fans (including parents of players) regularly slate their club's reporting (or entire lack thereof) of the academies for example, whereas I would argue FC are more proactive in this regard. It's not as polarised as you make out, at all. Let's have a list of the specific elements of superlative matchday experience at Hull KR for the average supporter, then we can ask AP to replicate.
