Off Topic Hull FC Having a good day

I mean, how can you get excited about winning something in such a weak competition, not that the Hull clubs have won much anyway, no grand final wins in how many years.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind watching the odd game and it can be a decent watch. But the actual competition is gash.

 

I keep hearing how great the game of RL is, and I accept a lot of people like it, which is fair enough, but if it was so great why hasn't it caught on in the rest of the country after all these years of being 'the greatest game in the world'? They have tried everything to make the game more popular, thrown money at it, changed the rules countless times, changed the days of when they play to avoid a clash with football and it is still relatively a minority sport played along the M62. They don't even play the game in Lincolnshire FFS and they are trying to promote it in the USA?

 

In fairness Lincolnshire types would have an advantage catching the ball.

Bit like the 'Boat Race' still only attracting Oxford and Cambridge...

 

I dont watch any rugby
But its probably better than gridiron football maybe

 

It is.Both codes are better, proper rugby and rugby lite.

 

Only because they think it's a turnip.

 

I must resist the cabbage reply, I must resist...

I don't own youtube so no.
Football, rugby and I dare say other sports as well have fair weather fans. I couldn't give a flying **** about them because i've followed Rovers since I was five yrs old when me Dad first took me and i'm 70yrs old now, that's all I care about considering the fans.

 

Fair point, you egg chasing git.

Oh, and I was talking to a poster from the old boards on Saturday, frigged if I can remember his user name though, probably same age as Meanie.

Rumour is Huddersfield are moving to Halifax to ground share next season.

 

Was flicking through the channels and Leicester Tigers were playing Saracens in front of 20,000 whilst Huddersfield were playing KR in front of the sort of crowd Scarborough get.

 

More than a rumour.

That's what i've heard.

 

Comes to something when even the residents of Huddersfield are seeing sense and not bothering with the game. Shame we'll never see such a thing here

 

Then why tell me daft twat?

 

You might have had suggestions (door ajar), fairly sure now his name is Danny.

Shouldn't you be posting Rovers videos on the Rovers fans site then and not a Hull City site?
And for the record, one of the first 'live' sporting occasions I went to was Hull KR v Widnes at Wembley in 1964. Rovers lost, Alan Burwell scored their only try. I think it took Rovers about four replays before they beat Rochdale Hornets in the semi final? Wasn't one game abandoned because the lights failed?
Since that glorious day in 1964 the Rovers side of the family I travelled with quickly dropped the club like a stone and I returned to following Hull City. I do remember in those days that Rovers used to play at home on the Saturdays when City were away and the trip to the old Craven Park to watch the Robins became a lonely affair and wasn't a patch on my Saturdays watching City at Boothferry Park. Each to their own.

 

We nearly did until Gateshead Thunder moved their franchise to Hull and saved them by becoming Gateshead Thunder Trading as Hull Fc, one hellva mouthful to fit into a terrace chant.
