You amusingly miss the point by a mile there. Class is never defined by scale - the nouveaux riche never do get to go to the best parties, no matter how much they have. Our attendances are irrelevant.
FC have always had bigger gates than Rovers, even back in our good old days. You've since had more than a decade of exclusivity on elite rugby to cement that position. Amazingly, we have lower crowds now - well done, pick up your prize on the way out. But I'm afraid even with all those advantages, you're still not a big club. You know it as well as I do, and it must really hurt - that much is obvious by how much you go on about it.
Despite all of our best efforts since 1986, Hull Kingston Rovers is still a legandary name in rugby league - trust me, I spend enough time in Australia to know which club has any sort resonance past Swanland. Hull FC is what exactly? You're basically known for losing the only game which ever really counted in the local bragging stakes. Ouch.
When Hull KR got promoted they said there was only room for one elite team in Hull... how right they were!

You're only as good as your last game pal. You lost 16-30 at home to Wigan a week after being taken to the cleaners by Leeds. You average around 5-6k less than Hull in a season which, despite winning nothing, is hailed as an outright success., while Hull were basically poop.
The rest of your post almost brought a tear to my eye, what with the hordes of Ozzies sporting replica pink Rovers shirts and Rovers the talk of bars from Wollongong to Sydney. All hot air I'm afraid.

FC have never been a big club, and certainly aren't now. To be honest I wouldn't say Rovers are - championship wins should be the defining characteristic for me - but then I'm not the one coming out with all this "you're a small club, our pen1 ses are bigger than yours" nonsense...
We've had to put up with you lot's FC rubbish for more than a decade (despite your mind-numbingly dull, average performance). But whether you like it or not - and from the frequency of whinges I'm guessing none of you do - we're now demonstrably the better side in town. End of. Might change in the future, that's sport, but lets not have any of this "big club" balls today. Purleeeez.
From what I can recall we represented eight easy points, and certainties to go back down. Since when we've improved year on year - slowly but surely - and are well ahead of FC in head-to-heads. As Justin Timberlake says in the McDonalds ads.... ba da da da daaaa, I'm loving it.

CBA to start a new thread, and this has nothing to do with the way this one's going but fair play to Wigan tonight, best team won. You can't expect to turn up and play for fifteen minutes in the play offs and go through.
Well done Wigan.
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.
