| Quote: Jimmy Carr "Don't post then?
I'm not a fan of it, I still fail to see how it benefits FC other than financially? It's a no brainer for KR. And I'm not trolling, I really think that is the case - both clubs pay less so gain financially but there is no doubt which team benefits in term of the output (players).
And I don't see it lasting long. (hopefully)'"
I didn't say I was bored of posting in a nutshell it seems all the hull fans are against it and all the rovers fans don't seem that bothered although the hull fans seem to think there churning out players like Wigan do and we don't have any players come through our academy which isn't true on both points

| Quote: Jimmy Carr "Time will tell I guess, no doubt cutting the cloth was needed I get that, and hopefully it will be the right decision, I don't want it to fail just to be proved right, I'm not that shallow. I'm not sure the saved money will be re-invested though, I think its a saving money exercise - both directors have openly admitted they cant keep throwing money at the clubs.
I just can't help but feel that our academy was really starting to bear fruits, the evidence is there for all to see. Kind of seems a shame to have put al that investment in place and then buckle just as it was starting to come good?
If it can start producing talent on a regular basis, and the evidence would say FC are right on the cusp of that, then paying big transfers would be a thing of the past anyway, as the talent pool would be in place.
Ultimately I cant see how merging with KR will produce more talent for FC than it is now?'"
We'll never know whether it really was on the cusp of delivering first-team players in good numbers and consistently, year after year. And I understand why that is frustrating for Hull fans, who have bought into this as the way forward. From outside, it seems that you have a good group of young players and I'd expect one, two... maybe even three or four to make a mark in SL. But a lot of expectation has been placed on them and the system that produced them, and my assumption is that it's been overhyped a bit.
It could just be that the money has run out, but running an under-23 team won't be cheap, so I think it's probably just been recognised as a fairly inefficient system.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| The big one for me is the Jordan Abdul comments I keep hearing. Hull FC fans are using it as a reason why they shouldn't me merging with Rovers. Do any of them actually know where he played prior to joining the great Hull FC academy?

Tee-hee.
I think sometimes we put a useful brake on each other's more extreme, and sometimes ultimately damaging, optimism. Rovers and Hull fans I mean, not me and you.
But we're reluctant to do that where the dreams and aspirations of young players are involved. Seems mean, innit?
So the best casing isn't challenged and snowballs.
Turgut, Abdul, Lancaster, Logan and HTW, may well be the next Graeme Horne, danny. Washbrook, Craig Hall, Ben Crooks and Tommy Lee. All good players. They may even be better than that - but the cusp of greatness thing... not impossible, but hardly the inevitable outcome it's sometimes presented as.

| Quote: Beverley red "There is a lot of things that all three clubs are using, sports medicine equipment & practitioners, the cost could well be spread across all teams, first to the academy's. The same goes with purchasing kit & equipment the savings benefit everyone the football offsets some cost & the rugby gets better value for money by sharing, its not rocket science?'"
In that case why dont Morrisons and Tesco share staff?
Stop talking out of your backside. Hull City have a team of people that are busy enough to justify a full time salary, what makes you think they would have time to work for Hull or even want to?
And you want Hull FC to play in Hull City's Umbro kit to save costs do you? Or pehaps train with their footballs and just use the Rugby balls for match days to comply with rules?
I would love to hear more about this 'Sports medicine equipment' you think could be shared. Maybe Rovers have a bit of strapping they dont need now their season is over so the Tigers can get some use out of it ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Flip flops and showers, they could all share those, and soap, maybe shower caps.
Panini stickers, got be easier to get good swops between three squads.
No doubt I'll come up with some more good ideas.

Good ideas, eh Goose?
Expected your first kick off suggestion to involve Hairstyles and related hair products, so my gob is well and truly smacked.
Well I am keen to broaden this topic, so I suggest they could share their Clearasil as well as their social media contacts.

You're missing the point, it is medical people they are supposed to be sharing.
Therefore if City Tigers are at home they can manage with St Johns Ambulance and Rovers can take the Doctor with them but must leave the physio bag for Hull who are travelling to france to play catalan.

| Rubbish hair, and product, kept using some sort of Brycreem idiocy, got Beharrell into it which ruined his career, tried to get Marsh interested so we had to let him go.
It's the finer points of style that matter, give the youngsters a good cut but if their peers encourage them towards a Superdrug product it a'int ever going to work.
