I agree, however I believe the problem may be that although he runs a successful business, he appears not to be as successful with running the club, I believe this is because he is a fan and it gets personal who knows, however whilst this is happening I am not sure he will get the backing he wants, I believe it would be beneficial for the club to put in some-one who will approach it as a business venture, not be interested in fc and stay focused on their own club without petty rivalry, until this happens I am afraid the problems will carry on and investment will not be so forth coming.

I'll give you a clue, one has a successful, sustainable business plan, the other has spent money they can't pay back and is now begging to anyone who'll listen to bail them out. I'm looking forward to our future, are you doing cartwheels about yours?

And so the smc would do what to replace FC's contribution?

Who told you the neighbours aunty who knows the uncle of a girl who is going out with a boy of one of the people's friend who attended this alleged meeting

Shocking, By my reckoning that would put us somewhere near break even

Put the sock away. There is no 'rent' on the KC, for a start.

Some interesting points. However, I think to date NH has done a spectacularly successful job of running the club - as a club, if not a business. Would we rather be breaking even each year in the Championship, with no prospect of ever getting a SL licence or be where Rovers are today, warts and all? I believe the B&W assessments of NH are made because they are fans and it gets personal - who knows?
If it had been treated as a purely business venture, Rovers would never have got a SL license. Also moving forward, would it not appear more incongruous for a profitable business venture to be receiving public money in such straitened times, rather than supporting an important community asset?
Tbh, I don't think sports clubs should benefit from public support. But they do and I don't see why Hull KR shouldn't ask for a slice of the pie. Though it might appear to be petty rivalry, reminding people of the support Hull FC have received is a useful political tool. Just speculating, but the £300k that was secured from the for the east stand extension may not have been won by somebody uninterested in the doings of Hull FC - there is certainly a competition for resources. It is both useful and, sadly, easy for NH to present Rovers (and by implication therefore, East Hull) as having had the rough end of things in recent years.

I could have done that as well by going £450,000 over budget for 3 years with no real assets to secure the debt against. How can you say he has done a good job ????? Team has done well but what has that got to do with a loss of £450,000 each year. Look at Widnes

I think part of the problem is that there is not enough local commercial money in the city for three top flight professional clubs.

Who told you that? Was it the word famous "Wilf rent-free Rosenburg" by any chance?

I meant to say "world famous" but it works just as well don'tyou think?
