Take Rovers' performance tonight apart by all means son, but don't give us all of that "big club" nonsense - you sound like Man City or Newcastle Utd fan ![]()
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.

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. ![]()
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.

FC have never been a big club, and certainly aren't now. To be honest I wouldn't say Rovers are - championship wins should be the defining characteristic for me - but then I'm not the one coming out with all this "you're a small club, our pen1 ses are bigger than yours" nonsense...
We've had to put up with you lot's FC rubbish for more than a decade (despite your mind-numbingly dull, average performance). But whether you like it or not - and from the frequency of whinges I'm guessing none of you do - we're now demonstrably the better side in town. End of. Might change in the future, that's sport, but lets not have any of this "big club" balls today. Purleeeez.
From what I can recall we represented eight easy points, and certainties to go back down. Since when we've improved year on year - slowly but surely - and are well ahead of FC in head-to-heads. As Justin Timberlake says in the McDonalds ads.... ba da da da daaaa, I'm loving it.

| CBA to start a new thread, and this has nothing to do with the way this one's going but fair play to Wigan tonight, best team won. You can't expect to turn up and play for fifteen minutes in the play offs and go through.
Well done Wigan.  |

Prospect 
He is already one of the best we have, he will be in the squad and will play against Wales and France IMO. |
