| Quote ="World of Redboy"And what does that make you then? The fact is the balance of power has not shifted at all.For as bad as things have been over the last few weeks,it's still a far better situation that what's at Caravan Park. You still support an inferior rugby team in an inferior stadium. You're still in a league that most super league supporters don't take an interest in. They regard the team who comes up as 4 or 6pts a season.I only take a look at your results to see if you've lost.You're not in superleague end of! You've no guarantees of getting there this season, even though, this is probably the best team you've had for achieving it.
If franchising does come in as is expected before you've achieved promotion. you're definitely up the creek without a paddle. And the theory most likely, if franchising does come in and you have been promoted beforehand, is you will be discarded then.
The only superleague team in crisis at the moment is Wigan, who have serious problems.
The simple fact is you're still in the little leagues looking up enviously at the big boys. Jog on'"
Thanks for that World of Rentboy

| Quote ="BESTY"I'd have been more concerned if we'd stuck with kear,i think they did the right thing and was one of the first to say so.What difference losing away to bradford narrowly in the challenge cup makes to your arguement i don't know.
As for the buy out,you could look at it 2 ways,if someone came in to buy rovers you'd claim it was because the investor had recognised the potential to develop the club and take it to the top,but because it's Hull everyones jumping ship.Have you read the article in tonights paper regarding the shareholders acting as gaurantors for a £500,000 mortgage to build our ambitious training complex?hardly the actions of a sinking ship.
You ridicule mcnamara without having any knowledge of his coaching abilities,i'll bet he knows more about the game than you could ever dream of knowing,so what makes you qualified to assess and mock his credentials?Did he not turn rovers down when they approached him?
=redas for rovers being on the up,come back in 6 months when you've got something to back your claims up with,it's just the annual hot air that comes from craven park and usually ends in a flood of tears.'"

So which one of you was it that claimed that we were in real danger of being relegated?
We are officially the 2nd best team in the country. No chance of a shift in power just yet eh?

Comments made at a time when many of your own fans stated that they had never felt so ashamed of their club.

since when have our gates been getting smaller??
our gates rose by around 200 IIRC last season
so please dont post stuff without facts.
also we sold 1,000 season passes in a DAY, thats 1/3 your average attendance last season, in one days sale.
so sorry, not particualrly worried by our crowds
as for finishing 4th, who knows, i expect SL to be the most competitive its ever been, so i wouldent be bothered by finishing 4th (by a narrow margin) as we'd still get a shot at getting to the final again. As long as we are competitive again, ill be happy. |

your budgeting on crowds of around 12500
your actual average att is around 10600 so your club is working on a short fall.
we are budgeting on crowds of 4500 for this coming season
take it from me our average crowds will be 6000+
so we will be making money Hull will be losing money yet again. |

The last I heard our break even figure was 9,500 and last year we averaged approx. 11,000. That's why we are currently operating at a profit as the accounts will show.
