HDM report that they are to have crunch talks over Rovers future.
It reports that they are considering their future support of the club in the wake of a difficult S/L campaign. They are thought to be frustrated with the struggles of holding the club up in recent times. After missing out on the playoffs and after spending the full cap, they are questioning the long term viability of the club.
As a consequence of the uncertainty, the club has made the decision to delay the sale of season tickets for 2013.
Hudgell and Crossland are to have talks later this week to discuss the long term future of the club and it's business plans for the future.
They have said they will not continually run the club at a loss and have to look at alternatives.

Teeing up an announcement of an Allam takeover?

Where's da report 'Graft'?

Let down by some 'fans'.

"I'm not going to ask fans to spend their hard earned cash until I can safely say to them we will be going around again for the year."

Sounds as bad as people think, will rovers be in the superleague next season??

Just a plea for someone else to come in and take over.

Have to say I agree with his stance on reducing the salary bill in line with what the club can afford. The game is in crisis with most of the clubs unviable without support from benefactors.

Wonder what our new signings with think when they read this.

I don't know if HDM are taking things and wording them how they want.

But that does not make for good reading!

I wouldn't of thought rovers would have already start preparing for next season with the signings they have got if they was in that much trouble surely?

Hull F.C fan I am, but I wouldn't like to see rovers go out the superleague, it's great for the city, and the sport on a whole.

Good luck

Just posturing from hudge. he has form for it and we all know there will be an announcement in the coming weeks that they'll spend less but will continue to support rovers.

Anyone know what the position is re directors entering into contracts - players and funding - if they genuinely don't know if the company will continue to trade?

Correct IMO. What better way to ease in a non-fan as chairman than a big piece on the consequences of it not happening are depicted in apocalyptic terms? The boost becomes bigger, then, and especially timely just before season passes are released.

Bizarrely, whilst we've had years of crowing about the BOD at Rovers being fans, there's a pretty strong possibility that they've seen the commercial projections of the club through those tinted lenses and this has been a factor in today's news.

Where's it say that?

Can't see how they would fight to get the north stand done and then pull the plug were in a bit of a catch 22 for next season really, fans already questioning the squad however I think it will be better and the board wanting more support, I think we need someone else on board to help.

They'll probably just ring NH or CS up and ask.

Takeover announcement along with the reported 2 massive signings = record pass sales, 10k average and the new North stand a commercial success
