No thanks. Lets try and do it slightly different.

Why would you suggest that. it’s a terrible suggestion to disregard our youth set up.

Clubs will always need to buy in ready made/quality regardless of their youth set up. Some more than others.

You said that we should do "exactly" what Hull KR have done/are doing.

Fair play, your relenting bitterness towards Hull KR is quite impressive, never known anyone so spiteful but irrelevant club wise (in rival terms) In equal measure.

Rovers haven't disregarded youth whatsoever in the present day, when it's starting point was and never has been shyed away from not great. It's going to take time.
Wakefield have produced some great youngsters, no problem praising where it's deserved.

I said they have risen attendances from 4-5k in a few years. I said I hope we can do exactly the same and raise ours.

You’ve taken the ball and ran off the pitch and out of the stadium with it.

The youth side of things in terms of impact on club performance, growth and other metrics is another topic entirely in itself.

Not that I’m wanting to fan any fires but I do have one genuine question.

Didn’t Hull and KR both have a joint academy/scholarship a few years ago? Is that still the case and do you think that negatively or positively impacted either teams or has it created a player generation gap for either team?

Be interesting to see how a KR fan would view that. Im guessing KR now have their own academy and scholarship.

Apologies if im wrong about this as I genuinely aren’t sure what the current set up is.

Some fans push for joint academies or regional academies so be interesting to hear as this would be the closest as a test to that.

HKR can pack as many into their ground as they like as long as they don't bring them to Wakefield!
All clubs have their problem supporters but from what I've seen of HKR they have taken the problem ones from there loving neighbours ( who I quite enjoy coming to wakefield)
That said, that's an excellent achievement selling so many ST'S and one which I'm sure we will be looking to aspire to.

I hope they do bring plenty of support and fill the away end. At Trinity there’s separation mostly so there shouldn’t be much of an issue. I can’t recall any issues when KR brought support previously and I think it will really add to the atmosphere when big away support comes to Belle Vue.

Agree, the KR fans in my experience - I have never had a problem with and have been much better than FC's.....
They seem to like to fight amongst themselves first as a warm up before having a pop at the opposition fans....

It was a bit of a joke, but actually I do remember incidents with HKR supporters (some of them!)
And even the last time we played them!

Well I suppose it depends where you stand and what you see. We all have our opinions but mine is the complete opposite to yours! Give me Hull FC fans anyday!
