Quote: Reddan "another dig at hull

Quote: Reddan "Although its nice to read and a good giggle, its not the words of a chairman, more of a fans forum member. He needs to put aside his 'fan' credentials when writing in official programmes/papers etc.'"


Quote: Reddan "Indeed, it's comments like this that tend to come back and bite you on the bum.'"



A selection of quotes from the 6 fingered forum.

Quote: Dnats Ynnepeerht "I think your both mixing up business acumen and expertise with unprofessional. He's unprofessional in his attitude, the way he conducts himself and the way he portrays your club.'"


better highly competent and unprofessional than professional and incompetent, eh?

Quote: Dnats Ynnepeerht "He has gambled the future of the club IMO. You will seriously need to increase revenue to even start clawing back the money you owe. Look at how long its taken FC to start reducing its debt and we are a much bigger club with much bigger revenue streams. Thats not a dig by the way you are clearly the better team at the moment but we are talking about the actual club. You only have to look at the likes of Saints who get bigger crowds then you and receive loads of prize money yet continue to make a loss to see how difficult it is going to be for Rovers to even break even in the near future. IMO (I may well be wrong) but he has been letting his heart rule his head in a desire to get Rovers as competitive as possible as quickly as possible. Maybe it will pay off in the long run but I cant really see how at the moment.'"


He had to gamble though really - a conservative approach wouldn't have got to us to where we are. Conservatism can be a gamble in itself - that is the underlying thrust of a lot of posts on your board, IMO. Now the challenge is to make a go of where we are. As you say, even Saints don't make money - RL is not a place to build a fortune, I fear. Saints recently turned debt into shares, such is the commitment of their backers. Rovers board has a good record in that respect too, but new revenue will have to be found sooner of later - SL is the place to find it at least. Failing that, maybe we can just trundle along as an East Yorkshire version of Wakefield - I'd have taken that 4 or even 3 years ago. Its possible that Rovers aren't viable as a SL team long-term, but with crowds of 8K, I think we should be able to get by. The headline loss figure is only part of the story of the accounts - how much of that is down to one off payments for capital investment (floodlights, east stand extension etc)? While losses were steady, turnover was up, so the business (as well as the debt), is growing.

Thanks, but there really is no need to quote me from another forum just to prove once again that you can log in to it.

I've said as much, if not more on this very thread.

Quote: Stan Butler "I would rather have somebody who is professional at their job, bear in mind these are the people that negotiate sponsorship etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, I am not attacking Grudge's passion, just questioning where he draws the line between being a fan, and running a professional business.'"


that rules out your board then, (no pun intended)

With far greater financial outgoings, (your rent alone dwarfs Hull krs).

Quote: cheeky charlie ""[iFc are a team of proven internationals and an abundance of local talent who will doubtless be looking to redress the balance from earlier in the season and I suppose also to put a dent in our 6-3 record since arriving in super league. Having said that we continue to feel that we have a point to prove. Certainly we have'nt forgotten certain "cheap" comments aimed at us pre-season about supposed financial problems,cancelled pre-season trips and the like.As long as we carry on making progress and building stability results will continue in my eyes to be more important than grade A licences achieved in part on the back of ten years of local monopoly and subsidised first class facilities[/i."

Well said Hudge

You telling me Hudge wouldn`t want one? icon_eek.gif



As for the article,as he is Rovers,it is bound to be slightly red and white bias. icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: Gavin Miller - Legend "The last section is equally as interesting.

'Knowledgeable fans are not fooled nor should they be by promises of big names around the corner.This competition should be about here and now and not next season.
Anything less is selling those supporters short in my view'.'"


From the man who declared in the Yorkshire Post that two "top drawer" signings would be announced "between now and the end of the year" when Rovers had lost 5 of their last 7. And coincidentally around the time of trying to mask a 23% increase in ticket prices with a half-baked and ill-communicated membership scheme. Excuse me whilst I choke on the stench of hypocrisy. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

So as he said 'the end of year' exactly what has he gone back on.
Hull announced their 'top drawer' icon_lol.gif signings during a season long losing streak.
And the membership scheme is going fine thanks Mrs Obsessed icon_lol.gif
Feel free to choke icon_wink.gif

He was criticising clubs for promising new players for next season during this season. Having the previous week promised "2 top drawer players" for next season. Apologies if the double standards there are too subtle for you. At least our announcements were actual players that us fans don't pay for until December.. Yours are vague promises that fans are paying for 8 months in advance. Short-changed indeed. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

You best read the programme. icon_lol.gif
He has no need to appease the Rovers fans this season as the play offs are virtually guarenteed with the current group of players.
Where as across on your forum several threads have sprung up all year from fans saying they will not purchase a season pass in 2010 because of the dire standard of rugby Hull FC produce
Confirmed in this next extract in which he refers to recruitment
'Let me assure everyone that we are very active on that front.
We will only bring in players though that add something to the squad so i suppose now we are getting more established our recruitment becomes more selective and patient as a result'
