Lets get this merger sorted if we go to the KC,

1) Things taken from Hull FC ...The name HULL
2) From HKR we take the Kingston Rovers

The new name would be HULL KINGSTON ROVERS

Colours taken

Hull the White from the Black & White
HKR the Red from the Red & White

The new colours would be White & Red

Players at couches desecration?...Max 3 from FC rest from KR
Also on a side note HKR would then be a Grade A club ... easy

All the above is in jest so read it and take it with a laugh

If Hudgell were considering a move to the KC, surely this would mean ground developments at Craven Park would be put on ice. Last month Mike Smith was clear that it was all full steam ahead, East Stand to be completed shortly, North Stand build commences June, Craven Park unrecognisable by end of July. This is clearly just a rent negotiation bargaining chip.

Is this what Larry was referring to BTW?

I think both clubs at the KC have a veto against new ventures so that idea will be dead and also can you imagine the state of the pitch it would be shafted in a weekend.
In the broad strokes if KR did move it would end a in a merger for KR & FC you cant support 2 rugby clubs and 1 football club at one stadium.

I think it all comes down to business at the end of the day and money talks and if the magic 10k support do's not appear then what?.

He isn't. There ends that line of argument.



Does (the terribly imaginative user name of Larry Billey, aka, Barry Lilley) know what [ihe himself[/i is referring to?

With the lack of evidence so far provided by Larry/Barry himself Occam's Razor would suggest no.

Unless he thinks a 10% discount on the Rufus range of products or the kick-off vs Leeds being put back to 3.15pm will de-rail the club.

Only if you are actually Hudgell. In which case he/you are like Sally Field.I bet you're not even aware of each other.


For starters, his name is more imaginative than a rubbish one like "Beverley Red", "Bransholme Red", "Barham Red". And it works because Larry is actually a proper name, albeit a bit effeminate. And secondly, Larry does have a bit of form on the inside track, even if he is a bit surly. You can imagine my disappointment waking up to a post suggesting Rovers imminent demise and, as MR points out, finding the only "announcements" were something to do with the winning raffle numbers on Sunday. Took the wind right out of my sails, let me tell you.


I think what's happened is the's heard there's a rumour about Rovers going to the KC which is only a bit true and over-reacted which you might do at 2.20am. The only thing we've really learnt is that Larry's not a big fan of Morgan. Are we bothered? Don't know really.

I was wearing a bib when i typed it !

Don't add to the uncertainty.

Ermmm! hellooooo!

What was all this dribble not so long ago spouted from the K.R FAITH-FULLS about [size"owning their own ground" ?[/size

I heard a rumour Kingston Droolers is about to defect. If so we'd also have Simply Red.

So in a nutshell your club does not own its ground !

sidenote - small rent (for now ) !

seems worrying that the club claim that they need crowd of 10,000 avg to break even,yet can't even get that at a home game on a sunny sunday afternoon, with the debut of "the David Beckham of the rugby league world " surely not all the other 2/3 thousand "supporters couldn't all have been at church.

worrying times for rovers if there cant pull over 10.000 in with there marque signing and fc away,hudge the budge cert doesnt look happy on the back page of hdm
