Hull KR confirm Tony Larvin investment talks have ended
HULL KR have confirmed that they have ended talks with businessman Tony Larvin over his proposed investment into the club.
It comes after three months of talks, in which time Larvin had indicated a willingness to invest as much as £15m into the red and whites.
-
Tony Larvin had pledged up to £15m cash
Rovers moved to bring the matter to a close last month when placing a deadline of January 31 on Larvin to make a first payment into the club account.
That deadline passed last Friday without comment from either party, but today, Rovers confirmed the matter was now over.

No your chairman just moans constantly about the state of RL and how tired he is about propping KR up"
..............
Neil is a realist, unlike some he doesn't live live in fantasy land and learns from his mistakes. Your owner has discovered the realities of running a RL club. Discovering that his players had been declared as 'tangible assets' must have been a big shock for starters.
As the unofficial Forum policeman, is that that the best you can come up with GEvans76?
BEL13VE

No offence to decent KR supporters, but after having 6,000 paying customers for your first game of the season yesterday I reckon commenting on Hull FC season pass sales is ridiculous to the extreme"
No way is it ridiculous, we didn't 'big ourselves up' pre season. Unlike your 'big signings'. The 10k challenge went the same way. Adam should keep his mouth shut.
I would challenge your figure of 6000. The none payers were at the end were the 500 or so Gateshull (est.1998) fans stand at derby games. It was nowhere near full I BEL13VE.

“GEvans76, I did jury service in the late 90's, an interesting experience.
Mike calls himself Mike Davis, however, he is on record as calling himself Mike Watson when he invited a Rovers fan to ask for him 'the bar' at Craven Park. A bad slip up.
I didn't put Mike's info onto the Public Domain, he did and it's there for all to see, it doesn't take much finding.
Mikes sad imposture as a Rovers fan is like a badly flawed bell - it has a 'Dull' (lol) ring to it. A bit like Adam's 10k Season Pass initiative.
BEL13VE

“Red_Hill_Bill
I hope you never get to do jury service, you found a Mike (one of the most popular names in the Country) and Watson a very common surname who happens to be an FC supporter, also what you are doing trawling through facebook to find a Mike Watson is beyond me.
Like I said if he isn't one of the stooges he must be an FC supporter.
I don't know the bloke so no I'm not his friend.
You remind me of Forest when he constantly said to Dexter you have learning difficulties you like to single people out for personal insults, typical cyber warrior bullying but I'm not surprised.”
