Right I admire his creativeness in his trolling. To think in an alternative reality a merged club could be playing out of 'the north point shopping centre super stadium'

Didn't realise Mr Duck was a Blue Sox fan? Thanks for popping by with your novel suggestion but we are doing our best at present to remove ourselves from SL so maybe your team could come back up and fail miserably again?

That rivalry you speak of is what kept rugby league alive during the early 80s when the game was dying on its feet or at the very least going through very uncertain times. During that period, the two clubs were winning every major honour on offer which resulted in raising the profile of the game. Who could forget the 1980 Wembley final that filled wembley and was covered by the mainstream media in the UK and even abroad? to the extent that both the BBC and ITV made documentaries about the whole day. (All Hull let loose and another documentary which for the moment escapes my memory)
With regards to your suggestion of one team in Hull. That concept has been put forward many times and acknowledged each time to be both unworkable and non viable. Just because you have one team does not naturally guarantee success. So, what happens if there is one club, but it performs poorly and ends up with declining attendances? how does that help the game?, It doesn't.
Plus, one team in Hull would almost certainly in my opinion, mean an estimated loss of around 7000 to 9000 fans from the game, as many would not choose to watch just one rugby league side in the city, such is the fierce rivalry. These numbers could not be replaced by simply bringing in a new team, it doesnt work like that. It takes decades of gradual growth with a lot of hard work involved to achieve the level of supporter base that both clubs have at the moment. Finally I will say, that two teams from the same city, whether it be football rugby league or any other major sport, always provides that extra buzz and excitement, plus always draws the attention of TV companies etc. Just look at the magic weekend where the two clubs are always drawn together, there is a good commercial reason for that.

Every true rugby league fan loves to watch a good hull derby passion pride big hits why wouldn’t you ... both clubs are well supported so what’s the problem... hull have had a big of success we have some good foundation in place to build some both bring good players through the academy .. what a silly stupid idea

Everyone needs to ignore this Fuzzy Goose, he or she is obviously just a troll.

Hey, I've just realised the "merger" thread has been separated and given a life of it's own! I'm honoured

Also nice to see even some staunch Hull FC / KR fans agree that a merge could be a good idea. How's this for a new merged "anthem"? …………

Old Red Robin, we rode the range together
Old Red Robin in every kind of weather
When your round up days are over
There'll be pastures red with rovers
For you old red robin pal of mine.
Hurry up old albert kelly,
'Cause the moon is red tonight
Hurry up old paul cooke
'Cause the moon is red and white.

Good, eh? Notice how I've included 2 legends who have played for both clubs giving this new anthem a more cosy merged feeling?

Oh dear.

Dizzy F#ck is clearly in a wind up. No one could be that dumb.

finished it off for you

I think it’s time to block him and ban the idiot please
