Will the FC Faithful be giving Royce Simmons a round of applause on his return? I seem to remember him running a number of marathons when he was coach here just to keep the club afloat when times were tough. Surely we owe him a big thank you.

Hope so. He ran the marathons to raise money to enable the signing of the great Des Hasler for Hull. Top bloke and top effort.

Totaly agree.

I agree Royce put his heart and soul into the club and for that he deserves all the plaudits.

it would be nice if the guy on the mike asks for a welcome back for royce (when the warmups are happening) just so he knows that we appriciatced what he did for us at the time. But time has passed and new fans may not even know who he is. Once it kicks off then i have no feelings for him. (till after the game of course)

He should get an excellent response.

He did an excellent job when the club has no money, hard to get good Aussies and the big teams (Wigan) didn't have to follow the salary cap.

Seems to be doing a fantasic job at Saints so far.

I thought this might be a bigger thread but half the fans on here won't know who he is.

Suprised that the HDM has run a feature about him and his return to Hull.

Shhhhhhh, its only rovers with the new fans!

All the best to Royce, sure he will get a rousing reception

Yes top bloke, lot of respect for what he did while at Hull.

So what time he rolls in?

Agreed.

Did a decent job in difficult times , Couple of semi finals also.
