It was lower than our last 58 regular SL or play off games.

Ah, we are cut from the same cloth I see.

You're the accountant, have a go at the following sums:

204 / 17 = ?
(1068 x 3) / 267 = ?
38.4 / 3.2 = ?
(442 / 34) - 1 = ?

And finally, more than a decade of Superleague experience = ?

Only 5 teams have made the Grand Final.

No - my argument has so much more impact BECAUSE we finished 12th. We've been crap for a couple of years now (although new Wembley is even nicer than it looks on the TV btw) but we STILL get an average of over 13K and get that figure for games where we've nothing to play for. That's the sign of a big club.

A small club is one which can't get 10K for big CC games and playoff games. It's one that claims winning nothing is progress and whose coach makes ridiculously over ambitious predictions such as his team can go all the way and win the competition. It's one whose only goal is to get one over on its bigger neighbour.

Which is the odd one out?



You see that is petty points scoring, I am so against.

You amusingly miss the point by a mile there. Class is never defined by scale - the nouveaux riche never do get to go to the best parties, no matter how much they have. Our attendances are irrelevant.

FC have always had bigger gates than Rovers, even back in our good old days. You've since had more than a decade of exclusivity on elite rugby to cement that position. Amazingly, we have lower crowds now - well done, pick up your prize on the way out. But I'm afraid even with all those advantages, you're still not a big club. You know it as well as I do, and it must really hurt - that much is obvious by how much you go on about it.

Despite all of our best efforts since 1986, Hull Kingston Rovers is still a legandary name in rugby league - trust me, I spend enough time in Australia to know which club has any sort resonance past Swanland. Hull FC is what exactly? You're basically known for losing the only game which ever really counted in the local bragging stakes. Ouch.

That's the spirit.



Sorry, I bring out the dark side in you.

Ouch indeed.
But they have fans in China i hear

You're only as good as your last game pal. You lost 16-30 at home to Wigan a week after being taken to the cleaners by Leeds. You average around 5-6k less than Hull in a season which, despite winning nothing, is hailed as an outright success., while Hull were basically poop.

The rest of your post almost brought a tear to my eye, what with the hordes of Ozzies sporting replica pink Rovers shirts and Rovers the talk of bars from Wollongong to Sydney. All hot air I'm afraid.

I think someone's been pulling your plonker there mate.

Because of your location i dont think your aware of that one fella
