Anyway, sandercock, seems shifty, mumbles and won't look anyone in the eye. Never trust anyone who won't look you in the eye my old nan used to say
You must be a newcomer to the game if thats what you think, because i can gurrantee that you most certainly have not been. You obviously wern't around when there were only 900 at the Boulevard and still in div 2, i also dont remember you ever winning back to back titles or been one of only a small number of clubs ever to win the treble in a season. As for Sandercock not been able to communicate with the press, you should take those ear muffs off along with with your blinkers.

To be fair, being an Aussie he's behind the eight ball from the off, he doesn't sound particularly inspiring to me but he needs at least eighteen months.
Before the season I felt that sneaking into the play offs would be a realistic aim, I still think that. Sandercock's job is to bring through home grown players and improve our young first team members which gets us on the way to self sufficiency.
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.

the treble you refer to could you clarify what the requirements are, and by who and when this was achieved for the uneducated amongst us

Long enough to know that for the vast majority of your clubs existence, they have finished below Hull in whatever league was around at the time. if you don't believe it go look it up

Like Hull, too many rovers fans have an over inflated opinion of the quality of the squad the coach has to play with. At least our coach isn't constantly referring to it in the press though
supported hull Fc for 36yrs i don't travel away but havn't missed many home games and in my time never had a crowd of 900 defo in low thousands around 2500-3000 in lean times but never had 900 when ive been there

In my lifetime (50 years) Rovers have certanly finished higher then Hull on more occasions then not, particualy dominating form the mid 60's (when I first started going) to the mid 80's.

Without delving in to the history books i cant give you an exact year but i believe it was sometime during the mid seventies, it was a bit of a standing joke in later years because no matter which Hull fan you would talk to, they would all claim that they were one of those 900. I will endevour to find out the exact year for you when i speak to my good friend who is a little older than me and a hull fc fannatic, im sure he will be able to assist.

FFS - I was hoping this was going to turn into the vs Bradford Match Thread Part Two Mild Rover, Sky defeats should always be met with an official trolling thread
Compared to some of the other dross we've served up on Sky, this up there. Still, what'ya guna do ... Bradford were at their most dangerous when we where attacking their 20. As some have already stated, our last tackle plays were poor. Dobson's general kicking, be it from pressure or not - was very poor. We were in control for the large part, but then lost all direction and composure after the Lovegrove video ref decision. Sandercock has mentioned previously how we need to see games out - so he must be furious after watching that capitulation.
Our left side fell to bits with the inj combo of Welham/Dobson and Bradford soon started to realise this. Once Horne went off, that was it. Welham soldiered on as he did, but hardly looked mobile. Shannon was solid enough and Josh Hodgeson was impressive again. Very disappointing
