A friend of mine and his son had a bet before the last Derby, if Hull won, he would have to go to Hulls next game wearing a Hull shirt, if Rovers won his son would have to wear a Rovers shirt at the next Rovers game.
We all know the result, and his son duly obliged. At the game on Friday he and his girlfriend (rovers supporter) where sat in front of us. I noticed during the game how he kept looking around at our fans and as the game progressed how much he was getting drawn in by the occasion.
Well after the game we went our seperate ways but he did say how much he enjoyed the game and the atmosphere.
The next day (sat) we where hearing rumblings of a cross city move, the biggest since Paul Cooke. and last night it was confirmed, next season he will be going to Craven Park.
After initially walking into the stand on Friday and feeling a bit uneasy about all the red and white shirts he said he hasn't enjoyed himself at a game of rugby for a long long while.
He realises the stick he's going to get from his mates, but credit to the Kid for making such a monumentous change in allegiance after following FC for over 20yrs.

Is this said chap from the East of the river?

West, and we where teaching him the real words to Red Red Robin last night, wouldn't want him drifting into the Hull version in the east stand.

Obviously you can!

WAS, now he must of seen the light!

You also have to think that alot of people (mainly in there 20s) will be FC fans as the choice wasnt really there. Now they have 2 decent sides to choose from we will hopefully recover some of that lost fan base.

No. People like him are never going to stick around to show the team their appreciation at the end of the season. Good riddance!

On a similar note a present black (and white) sheep Rovers under 16 player is currently under pressure from the rest of his Rovers supporting family to swap sides......i hope he cracks

Rovers have no fickle fans fact.

They are just as loyal as they where in 1998.
