Who's losing money on every home game. Who's NEVER EVER gonna get 10,000 average home support.
Be worried, be very worried.
Wish we had Fudgell instead of Mr. Pearson.
In Pearson we trust, do you trust the ambulance chaser
Begging bowl out yet again, pathetic.
Did A Hull KR Supporter/Player/Board member do something terrible to you? Do you need to talk to someone? I think counselling would be a good idea for you. Do you experience flashbacks?
Don't worry I know a good solicitor who could get you some compo

TBF you would not ask all those questions in one go, bit overwhelming that.

It's all one way, frankly we're bored of beating you and are much more humble in victory, besides you all disappear when you lose so gloats would be in vain.
Your lot love it though, like a cup final when you beat Rovers. Sad.

We've been in cup finals in recent history, something you would know nothing about and believe me when i say that beating the smaller club in the city, although may be fun is nothing compared with being in cup finals. Now run along and know your place.

I don't see any reason for this to be a proxy-battle for the intra-Hull rivalry, or a chance to vent for the more, ahem, 'impassioned', or to drag up old arguments.
Hudgell has made a point about what he believes are the parlous state of the sport's finances. Whether you agree or not, he's entitled to an opinion - feel free to discuss it's merits.
I'm not sure what the answer is. Stumbling along from crisis to crisis, making it up as we go is the most likely outcome - it has worked (kind of) for 100+ years. But it isn't unreasonable to at least hope for some strategic thinking. What the best way forward is, is subjective and influenced by club-bias. Our situation means 12 teams and each getting a bigger slice of the pie appeals. 10 teams (as advocated by Jamie Peacock and Tony Smith) we'd probably think of as cutting too far, as we'd perhaps be one of the those considered for the cull. Hull fans going on about the 50% rule, while talking about it in terms of financial stability, one cynically assumes, are thinking about the competitive sporting advantage they imagine it'd give them.

Which teams have received 'handout after handout'?

On the contrary my 11 fingered cousin; Hull KR played in and won the Northern Rail Cup in 2005 and National League One in 2006 and again made the final of the NR Cup.
