Remind me what they have won in terms of real silverware? hubcap doesn't count. They also have an owner who will pump in millions. Empty our ground to 2/3000 and see how long we last.

It was an attempt at humour pal. Clearly I need to keep my day job.

You see, this is a variation on a well used theme. The rules are that you can't start to speculate on Rovers going bust until the season is officially over. Then, it's not "2 years" its 2 months max. You have let me down standee, a poster of your experience

Spot on.
Anyone who thinks AP will respond to fans putting less money into the club by simply shovelling more in himself ad infinitum are deluded. He puts in enough to see us up to the cap, plus transfer fees, plus paying players off, plus investing in the academy. Whilst we may not agree with all his decisions he's doing it with the best intentions. Withholding our support as part of the deal is just risking sending the club to the wall in my opinion. No one else apart from AP wants to back us so we can either galvanize behind him, his best intentions and already significant backing, or sign the club's death warrant by pi$$ing off.
Two choices. Are you in the boat with the club, rowing and baling out water, or standing like a twatt on the bank shouting "You're sinking" with a self-righteous smirk and an extra £0.68 a day in your pocket for the next year? Have a word.

I don't think KR will go bust, nor will FC, too many dedicated fans throwing good money after bad and too much support from one of the worst local councils in England.
I do not expect to win either team to lift a trophy in 5 years, not with the players and coaches we have.
I genuinely hope I am wrong, for either side, because if no, then a single Hull side is a real possibility.

Abuse from Mrs B, hope that gets picked up. She's always been a potty mouth that one!
