Hull will overtake rovers in a couple of years. You saw yesterday how massive we are. 16-17k fans and owners worth half a billion. We dwarf you in terms of potential and the owners are here for the club, not investment land.
You've shouted us down at every opportunity from the early 2000s saying we'd never reach the dizzy heights of SL, then we'd be relegated in our first season, then we was going bust, then owning our own ground was a pipedream then we'd never get crowds over 10k crowds, we'd never get to another final, what's the latest? We'll never win a trophy?
I'm enjoying a ride I've never been on before, you may overtake us you may not, I don't particularly care.
Rovers are building a home with every amenity and facility we need all under one roof, we are selling 11,200 tickets every week and have a board that care and a team playing for the badge and each other every week.
Rovers aren't going anywhere, and I hope Hull build a team to be up there challenging with us.
All fair points. The council handing you the land is a big factor in the investors coming on board though, in an alternative plot line Hudgell could still be trying to sell Rovers or have given up losing money by now. But likewise the council getting a KCOM windfall and building the MKM was a stroke of luck for us (unlilkely that Hetherington and co wouldent haven bought us without it)
Money makes the world go round and both clubs are benefiting at present. Having sat through 90s games when both clubs could barely afford to stock the portakabin retail store I will enjoy the good times we are having.
