Hull KR and Hull FC are what makes this city unique in RL in this country, I don't like FC, but I sure as hell want them to continue for as long as I am alive, the same as I do my club, the rivalry is REAL, forget any other so called derby, this city has the ONLY one and long may it continue.
Great post

Don't get me wrong I have a lot of friends who are rovers fans, but is a big no no for me.
Excuse me? supported Rovers for 30 years in dark days and not so I certainly know what the history is. A little patronising I think.

A little patronising?
Sort of like telling someone they would go watch a merged team after they've already stated they wouldn't you mean?
HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God

Top post, we are unique, we are the only true derby, with season long rivalry, no matter what them on sky say!! hope it lasts through all my lifetime! and for the record, i wouldnt support a united team, id follow West Hull

She inferred I didnt know of the rivalry because I didnt live in the city, patronising. I said she would go to see a merged team (allbeit eventually). Opinion.

But she may not go see a merged team, as alot wouldnt, me included, I often go watch West Hull, and would continue to in earnest if we merged, I couldnt/wouldnt accept a merged team, i was brought up down Subway St down Hessle Road, started going to the boulevard with my grandad, when my dad was at sea, Hull FC was and still is a massive part of my life, and memories of being with my grandad on the terraces is a memory ill cherish, i would hate to see Hull and Rovers disolve to make a "super team", and wouldnt support it, im a black and white, thank god itll never happen!!!

Which he and the board have underwritten, during a period of rapid growth and investment. Sunday was bad moment in a good era for Hull KR. You'd have to have a fairly over-developed sense of entitlement to deny that, as a Hull KR supporter. The Americans list the pursuit of happiness as an unalienable right - but it is the pursuit not the happiness that they seek guarantee. To increase your chances, go to a film (not Clash of Titans, though - it is poo, and they've still got no Titans in it, even at the second attempt) or a concert. Probably best avoid sports, unless it is WWE or the Harlem Globetrotters.
