Here it is, the day only 4 years ago wasn't even really a dream. When we secured our place in S/L we where expected to make a speedy return to the lower divisions, some quarters even suggesting us not winning a game, and with the impending franchise system. no place in S/L.
Fast forward to now, here we are at the begining of a journey, a journey few would have believed possible even 2 years ago. The first season was a struggle with only the odd good result, but we enjoyed every moment of every game, and we managed it, we managed to stay in the elite competition.
A plan was put in place, survive, consolodate, challenge, a plan many saw as a pipe dream, a plan many thought unachievable, a plan many expected to fail, a plan that Neil Hudgell, Justin Morgan and everyone involved in this great club believed in. Now no one can dispute that the plan outlined has come to fruition, we are indeed now challenging for our place in history, challenging doesn't mean winning, it means exactly that, challenging.
Whatever happens during our first foray in the playoffs, i will remember what we where watching 5 yrs ago, i will enjoy this journey to it's end, wether it be short lived or fruitful, as i can see many more journeys ahead, each going further, each getting better.
So weather your on the terrace at leeds or unable to attend and are watching on tv, when the lads enter the pitch, just remember where we were this time 4yrs ago and how far we have come,lets get behind the lads who have took on this journey and back them with all our heart and all our soul as only Hull KR fans can, no matter what the result.
A new era is here We are Hull KR and we are back

On the pitch is were it counts and by that theory were no bigger than Sheffield! tarquin fuego wrote: I wrote this 2 mins before the game finished , you know why Sheldon Maylord ? because I know about RL ! Hoss pot HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ? When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart . We were a pub team I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again

That's the spirit , rabble rousing stuff, I feel like one of the foot soldiers in Henry V just before Agincourt!
Not sure I can take the excitement for the rest of the day without a little bit of wee seeping out...
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Totally off the subject home many overseas places have Rovers got spare for next season, I'm having a debate with my mate who is a Rovers fan and he says they have one but I said Fitzhenry is leaving but the quota spots are going down by 1 is this right.

Only one person has ever known the answer to this question... and he went mad from thinking about it and now only says 'wibble'.
