Just been reading this and it got me thinking. I wonder where we'll be in 16 years time. I'll be 40 and (hopefully) still going.
I honestly think people need to act now to keep us heading in the right direction. I really hope that things work out for Radders and Pearson this year, otherwise I think we could be in real trouble.

Stockport's Edgeley Park ground was originally a rugby league ground built specifically for Stockport RFC, they being one of the original clubs in the great divide.

I didn't realise that. I really need to read up on the history of rugby league and where it came from. Know very little about it other than some basics!
Interesting to note that in a couple of interviews away from local based journalists Adam Pearson has stated, " We have made personal approaches to people in Hull to join the board and we need to find other individuals that are willing to invest in the squad" Before anyone says that'll be Mally Walker I don't think it will be because every time anyone askes Adam about him he says "I have approached him twice and he's just not interested" Adam always seemed to revel in the one man band approach but now it appears he is in need of some help!!

Merging the academy with Rovers and continuing to employ Radford is royaly fooking this club over! Add in clubs poor commercial department, joke board, shocking coaching team and its no surprise its in a mess - a much bigger mess than when Kath and co was here imo. But Pearsons too pig headed to do anything about it and that will be the clubs downfall as far too many fans see through all the crap he peddles.
Well Seb my Mum used to tell me a story about 'The boy who cried wold too often' and this is a classic case of that, because no one believed him when there really was a Wolf until it ate them all!
I think a lot of the fans think its all crap, as it has been in the past and now can't see when it isn't. Why should they anyway?
I agree that he has brought some of this on himself in many ways but more through naivety than intent. The merger is a classic example instead of saying it was a move to save cash we got all that rubbish about how there was no talent about! Hudgell continued yesterday to say it wasn't about saving money, while Adam told a few last weekend that it was.
It seems that asking for voluntary redundancies must have fallen on deaf ears then, so now the next bit unfolds. I don't know what else the bloke can say to convince people, if they want to be convinced at all.
Perhaps those who still don't believe what's happening should talk to a few of the staff instead. Getting worse by the day it appears but some won't accept it, some never will, personally I find it very worrying its going to be a long winter, with this and the continued pressure from 'The home of the Tigers' making it more and more difficult to make money. latest 'rumour' is strictly tickets only available in advance and none available on the day next year. So I'm a bit worried but as I say that's just my personal view!
