Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Seems times hard at Rovers too .


Nobody's saying that they aren't.

But he does say that he wants assurances over whether promotion and relegation will continue this year before he invests any more money into Hull KR, which suggests that money is available, more than can be said for a lot of clubs, I'd imagine.

Indeed, that's the key difference.

Does anyone know whether clubs, and particularly ours, are looking at some sort of crowd funding to support their existence?

I would have thought you could have a virtual matchday where you could "buy" items you would normally be spending money on, e.g £25 away game ticket, £8 coach travel, £4 pie etc. Might be an option for those that can spare the cash?

All very quiet from the fans side which is a bit strange - Wheres Wolfie and his ilk?

We need to start doing something as fans and not just let it unfold into armageddon in front of our eyes

A poster on Facebook suggested this and was ridiculed . He took it down.
As fans we may need to step up ? You are right ,we can’t stand idly by.
I know times are hard at the moment for people . But some form of fund raising needs looking at . It could help the Club through the next few months?

I think if people reflected on what they would normally be spending each week following the club it could be worthwhile. All adds up, £5 Walton Street car park, £2.50 for a coffee in the stadium, snacks, beer fuel, Half time draw tickets, Away game tickets & travel..obviously merchandise is still available but might be worth thinking about if low cost to administer.

Would you (or indeed ‘we’) want to hedge bets in this situation? If there is a specific plan and target amount that’d solve the problem it’d be straightforward. But if it just ends up delaying things, that is money that could have gone towards a new start and which hasn’t achieved much from a fan’s perspective. For some Hull fans, knowing that chunk of their donation might have gone to the Allams as rent might make it an even more bitter pill.

Could it (the money raised) be put in trust until needed - for whatever end?

I’m worried about the hopes being pinned on a government bail out. I think RL clubs are really important civic institutions, and with their low overheads they offer great value. However, after a long period of austerity and with massive economic fallout from this situation still to come, sports clubs are going to be well down the line behind key public services and private sectors considered vital to society.

Fair point about ringfencing it - purpose would need to be clear. I'm saving money on my normal Hull FC level of expenditure - materially - at a time the club needs it the most - just feels wrong. I agree the government won't help, and as you say in the grand scheme of things there will be more important priorities than propping up RL.

Do we still have that official Hull FC fans rep club thingy?

Is it possible to have an online forum with club and fans (maybe even pay to join in)
We could maybe find out how we (as fans) can best help the club. What sort of targets we need to look for
