Could we not just have a "pillocks" section and put them all together, segregated from the rest of us? We coud then use this section for HT entertainment & gambling purposes!

Do we really hate each other? I would have thought it's so obvious that the question doesn't need to be asked.
DANNY LOCKWOOD - LEAGUE WEEKLY (18-5-09)
I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.
As a few have said, its the actually club itself that the other may dislike/hate. Personally, I hate the name 'Hull Kingston Rovers', hate the badge, hate the shirt, hate the ground. But I've never talked to a Hull KR fan where afterwards I would think 'what a tw*t', and I respect most of the players who play for Rovers (think the only exception is Ben Cockayne). I think its only a small minority who would claim to hating everything to do with the other club

Just his general attitude on the pitch when I have seen him play either when against us or when I've ever seen Rovers on Sky. It's different to the likes of Calderwood, O'Loughlin etc who people really don't like also. Mix that with what happened with him off the field and I just don't think he is a very good man. Again, this differs to the likes of Raynor, Pryce etc as they seem to carry themself well on the pitch. Cockayne isn't the only one. Bailey is another example

Cockayne had a petulant streak in him when 1st playing in SL back in 2007. I don't see this side to his game now, but once a reputation is forged it takes some shifting. The off-field stuff is ongoing so best not to elaborate, but there are examples at most clubs where bad boys have transgressed.

Ben plays with enthusiasm and passion, he's not a dirty player and I personally think he's very entertaining to watch. What does he do on the pitch that you don't like?

I disagree with him not been dirty as when I have seen him, he seems to be a dirty player and a cheap shot merchant. Add that to the fact of whats happening off the field, which I won't go into details over, I just don't respect him as a player. He is the only Rovers player that I don't respect, and only one of a few that I don't respect in general

Do I hate them? no. Do I detest them? no. Do I hope they lose every game and lose their franchise next time round? Hell yes
What is the point in either team losing their franchise bid? There would be no more derbys, yeah that's fun...
