Re: Once the dust settles...
It will, but these things run on tight margins. As the Accrington example highlights, that's not enough alone. I think this falls into 'nice to have' but it won't cover the costs of running a football club. So even if you're gunning for base-level self-sustainability you'll need a sports facility w...

Re: Rugby League
PS, the bad news of the weekend is not losing 1 match. It is the news that Ryan Hall is leaving at the end of the season. The word "Great" is used far too often in sports, but I believe that Ryan has been a true warrior and leaves many great memories at KR as well as at Leeds. Sadly his time in Aus ...

Re: Rugby League
Not looking god for Hull KR, as they are being soundly beaten 26-6 at HT. I bet our resident HKR fan isn't very happy after making the long trip to the South of France. We didn't show up and what we did was mostly mistakes, but, as always, I was over it by the time I got out of the carpark, and loo...

Re: Rugby League
Rob hope Cas turn up tomorrow evening. The gap between the top and bottom of SL is massive and getting bigger all the time. 1 of my favourite games this week. Most of our fans travel to Spain for a few days but as usual, I have come by car, with friends this year, but instead of doing castles and c...

Re: Once the dust settles...
Staying put still doesn't answer the issue about non match day income, or getting all the matchday income that we raise without having it syphoned off to pay the landlords. This is exactly it and the whole point we need our own facilities. DJ had said recently that if we sold out all hospitality, p...

Re: Rugby League
I forgot to mention, Rob may have heard but I doubt you have Pete, George Lawler the player I said was the only 1 at Cas who would now make KR's squad collapsed with a fit after the last match he played and it seems he may have suffered permanent brain damage. This comes from a friend of George's ma...

Re: Rugby League
Hey Rob, make that 8 ex KR on your roster as you sign Senior on loan !!!!
He is fast, but has a few mistakes in him per game.

Re: Rugby League
Yet again the RFL prove how little brain power they use. I simply do not get the logic in playing a Cup semi-final at Doncaster. A ground that holds 15.000 and expects the fans of 4 clubs to get into it. We have just over 8000 season ticket holders at KR and week after week have been selling out our...

Re: Well how did we do that?
Why do threads always descend into personal point-scoring? I don't really care if someone thought Gowling should have been given more time, or if Martin Gray was the only man to get us out of the mess, or if the signing of an injured Asante was an egregious assault on our very existence as a fan ow...

Re: Rugby League
Yes.
The venue has not been named yet but I would be shocked if we don't play at Headingley again.
Saints and Udders will possibly be at Wigan or that area.

Re: Rugby League
It would have been a hell of a shock if Widnes beat Saints !!!! You said we struggled. Did you watch our game? Leigh shaded the first half, yes, but 5 tries were ruled out, 3 of them dubious and even Leigh fans said that we won it well in the end. Not exactly the 3 easy games you were predicting !!!...

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
It’s those Fred Bloggs putting in their £20 a game that are the lifeblood of a football team, and will be the ones picking up the pieces after the chancers, crooks and grifters have moved on. They have every right to question the motives and integrity of the people taking over - as any Darlo fan wi...

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
Things have fallen apart on and off the pitch at Blyth since the takeover. The takeover has yet to go through so we've been hamstrung in terms of recruitment. The old Chairman has been reluctant to invest while he's selling the club and the new chairman unwilling(or unable) to do so as he doesn't o...

Yes a win at last for Tigers, and well deserved too, table looks slightly better this weekend! Just looked at your entire squad and you have 7 ex-KR players on the roster, and in truth, the only 1 who would get anywhere near our squad now is George Lawler, but even he would be just about the last m...

Posting this at half time. Tonight's game at CP is NOT Superleague. When we won the Championship in 16 we 50'd a few sides. If we keep the intensity up this could hit 100.

Re: Rugby League
Great to see that Bevan French has signed a contract extension for a further 4 years at Wigan. That was on top of Matty Peet and his assistants signing 7 year contract extensions. Lots of silly talk about French and his contract. Running from no NRL side wanted him to "He is not that good"!! Person...

I wasn't there but maybe Peter Clarke misheard and thought he'd said: "Break his legs." Clarke's getting on a bit and may have had his hearing aids switched off. This is (or so I heard at the time) what is alleged to have happened. I was over that side but several yards away from the supporter conc...

Even though we made the final last year I have lost a lot of interest in the cup. A couple of nice draws and you are in the final without much effort. The nearest we had to a "shock" this weekend was the manner of Dulls thrashing at Huddersfield, who are not exactly great at the moment. I still thin...
