Quote from the Man in charge www.sporthull.co.uk/headlines/Hu ... ticle.html I hope you get off to a good start this season. I started this thread as I feel as a neutral that Mr Hudgell is getting ready to apportion blame for when it may/may not go a bit wrong. Why is he asking what the next 2-3 years has in store , IF Jimmy the Ruler was coming out with this I would be highly suspicious , wouldn't you ?

cant see him playing the blame game myself; as everyone knows - hes a rovers fan and has stated he wants to leave it in good hands WHEN he leaves, so he can watch it as a fan again... therefore cant see him trying to blame anyone.

But id still say that i agree and we are at a stage were it is more then likely make or break - Big plans for stadium, therefore need enough money and backing from Big people - if we dont get it then who knows... we might lose our SL place then the dark ages over again.

So id say he has a valid point.

I read it as a rallying call for the council, businesses and wider community to back the club. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but he's clearly saying more than "So long as we get 10,000 fans at every home match then everything will be ok".

It's nothing more than a (very) poor troll attempting to muck rake as usual. I love his use of the phrase "as a neutral"!

Can't wait for February to come around when we can re-claim this board. All the FC trolls will go back under their rocks to avoid glancing at a league table.

What about the "friendly" in jan?

Thats how I read it, along with the sun article which was aimed at the RFL. Personally think Hudge is stoking the fire under the council / development bodies with a view to getting funding.

And why shouldnt he? preston road area is getting improvements done and i think theyve stopped at marfleet lights, because the closed down school and the area in general is run down and could do with a pick me up - and if rumours are true, then east hull will be moving to that school field, and with the area around craven park a new northstand would greatly start the improvements needed.

It's a friendly.

Only a desparate man will use the outcome as any sort of "bragging rights". I don't expect either team to play its full 1st team squad.

Maybe if your club had shaken off their small club mentality when the kc was offered to them they wouldn't be having to beg and scrape for a smaller version of the kc as fudge wants now!!
Good times for rugby league in the city at tho moment!!

The threat to return to the Bullyvard is still very real my friend... and let us see who has small club syndrome then... I hope City do well, England get the world cup and you people will be peppering your pants about your KC departure!

So your assuming we will be crap and you will be fantastic then? You may win the odd battle but you are most certainly losing the war.

A local derby is never a friendly - if youve ever played a sport then surely you realise this?
