The merger has been officially canceled and both academy programs will continue to operate independently. I am currently gathering the final transition documents to ensure all players maintain their current contracts. We will monitor the upcoming club board meetings to verify that this commitment is upheld.

The latest news coming out of Hull FC and Hull KR has shocked us all regarding the merger of the acadmies. Including the lads who are playing in the academies who weren't even told about the merger when they signed their deals the week before.
Something has to be done the Derby is in our heritage whether that be at Super League Level or under 19s, 16s etc.
Hull FC and Hull KR have just had "outstanding" and "good" reports for their academies and finished 3rd and 5th respectively in the under 19s. This seems like a backwards step to many of the fans and only decreasing the opportunities for young lads to make it to Super League only having one academy team in Hull, and raised large questions about how the full system will work in terms of those players who are given the opportunity
Please sign this petition and share it with any hull or rovers fans you know lets make our thoughts known to the powers that be who have taken this decision way to lightly, most of us can't see any benefits with the system and agree that it's just a cost saving measure.
Only way we are going to make them stand up is by hitting them in the pocket dont buy merchandise or passes etc. We need to make a stand together.
Thanks for your time.

No kids will want to play! If it's a merger- why not have FC going to hull kr?? It's a take over not merger!!Disgusting what's happening. How can 57 lads develop when only 17 can play????? Giving them less game time cannot improve development!!!!!!!
Season pass holder seriously considering whether to bother any more. This action devalues the Hull FC brand, I do not want to be part of anything that involves merging with Hull KR at any level as for playing in Blue & Gold... Almost speechless. Please rethink this!
Appreciate that it may seem a financially good move for the owners & that many U19s may not ultimately set SL alight; but in every other respect its a backwards move. Decreasing opportunities & allowing the East Riding to be marginalised further. Find another way!!
Would you ever see utd/city celtic/rangers saints/wigan workington/whieheaven wolves/widnes merger would you hell so why ask two bitter rivals to merger you cant choose your family but you can choose who you support and you do so for life
Just when our Hull FC acedemy is thriving we give our neighbours chance to join us and potentially take away our future stars. Am sure KR will feel similar on those future red n white players. Who will be unbiased when a great player is spotted?

This youth setup merger is taking children from a safe environment and putting them on the street as they are not good enough at Rugby. It is also diluting rivalry going back for longer than I can even begin to remember. I am against the Merger.
