Second week in a row all three local teams have lost.
Not quite there yet as regards city of sporting excellence.

Not a big RL fan myself (although I do think it's a decent sport) but I see it as a big shame Rovers went down.

Shame for our sporting city; shame for the poor local sods who are going to lose their jobs and the local businesses who are going to lose vital revenue.

Hope they can bounce back asap.

This is spot on, regardless of what sport or team you support, a bunch of local people lost their jobs today, that's never a good thing.

The super league will be a worse place for not having them in, they contribute a hell of a lot more than Salford who cheat the salary cap and get crowds of less than 3000.
 
Isnt that the argument of TWS and Wendies fans against teams like us, Burnley and Bournemouth?

In rugby league crowds actually matter, match day revenue is a vital part of a clubs income, when Rovers play Castleford or Wakefield they have been known double the clubs gates for those games and it makes a big difference.

With all the money in football crowds count for little more than a dick measuring contest.

Sympathy for Rovers not very evident at all on the Hull FC forum.

Oh, I forgot
It's like Boca v River Plate x 10 in this crazy rugby league cauldron of a city where people in East Hull have painted the zebra crossings red and white, and people in the west refuse to eat red meat.

Apparently 'fans' are annoyed that the fighting afterwards made them look like football fans!
