If anybody is going to save them, I suspect Sky will have something to do with it.....

I don't think the clubs should donate any money, only a few would have enough, but I'd like to see some former players make a gesture.

Auctioning off shirts or holding a fundraising dinner?

A few got involved last time, hope they do again. Interestingly, I didn't see anything to suggest Harris was one of those helping out, though, and he must have taken more out of that club than most.

Harris just about caused all this

as for the £100k, no, although we could afford it, i know one club would not after losses of £450k pa since they joined the league.......

Probably one of many super league clubs that will fold over the next few years.............

IF every other SL Club loaned the Bulls $100k on favorable long term loans ( Allams to KR) then they would be safe and stay in SL

Would all or any clubs do this ?

I would be happy if FC did this and then we may get this favour in return many years down the road - who knows ?

Nope, they got themselves into the mess it is up to them to get out of it. Maybe they could merge with Keighley and take the name Keighley Bulls

Just the first on many clubs to disapear i imagine over the next couple of years , old debts kicking them in the ass, poor management, cap fiddling, over paying wages, directors taking hand outs
They need to be wound up and start agin from the bottom and get it right this time for their fans, but i do mean start again and move from that turd of a stadium as well
what comes around goes around.... got no sympathy now

jacko 1 , you are very right !

Rovers with Legend Colin Hutton tried to destroy us and hence form , in their words , ' the only RL club in Hull '

I wouldn't pi** on their ground if it was on fire , Rovers are scum -simples

Bradford are not much better ,however 2 wrongs don't make a right and we are better than Rovers

I would like to see us save them from liquidation but not if all they do is start in Championship , they can nearly do that via liquidation anyway

Is there any need for that? you should seek professional help my friend rather than spout poison. it may be rovers took the course of action after 20 years of hull fc decaring themsleves the so called master race of rugby league and belittering hull kr at every opportunity. I put it to you that former director stephen ball declaring that hull kr was nothing! and never will be didnt help your cause.

There is absolutely zero evidence of their directors taking money out of the club - quite the opposite in fact. They may well have been incompetent but they weren't on the make.

Their 'cap fiddling' was no worse than the majority of clubs.
