True. But still a core of about 10k . So not needing to find too much to make up rovers numbers. Rovers won't be missed greatly this year at all as it's looking

I don't think you can say that categorically. We're £343k up year over year and running a U23s set-up. It's not as if all costs are fixed and we simply bank any Wembley upside, decisions will be made flexibly. There's always work to do to optimise income. This is a big season for the club in this respect IMO. For most fans we had false dawns in 91 and 05/6, can 16 success be built upon? If so there's a chance of stepping up numbers for 2018 and beyond.

Oh yes we're experienced in self-destruction after a bit of success, but I have faith that Pearson will manage us sensibly, and we won't have to selling off our best players to stay afloat. I also think Motu has done a good job with the recruitment, unlike post 2006 when we gradually lost the likes of Swain, Cooke, Brough, Carvell and replaced them with (mostly) injury wrecks, aussie plodders and young kids on loan from Leeds.

good move from the RFL though, before they introduced the current 10% rate clubs websites barely even gave Away games a mention apart from the match squads and the score, now their is an incentive for clubs to market away fixtures too.
Most do though. Wakey sent out over 2k. 25% of over 2k over 10% is a good few thousand extra to us. Those kind of followings will be replicated several times over the year. Cas-especially. .Leeds..And even cross county if day/none sky. Lot of money over a season to us. Really pleased with it. Really do have a sense of being ripped off when we can take 1.5/2k to saints..salford and wire for games and wire for example don't even manage 1k to see LLS Lifted (effectively a final)

Issue will be replacing Ellis and Mini like for like, but again a successful season would make all the difference in terms of how players regard Hull as a destination.

I think if you hadn't won at Wembley you would have made the grand final it seemed a case of job done once you'd won the challenge cup
einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result
