| As the manager of the SMC surely his role is to bring in as much money from ground hire as possible. If I was the council I would want a please explain from him why he has turned down tens of thousands of pounds, not to mention the meony visiting fans bring in commerce for the city.

Tbh I don't even think its the fact they are in the Premier League. Manchester United still allow us to book Old Trafford each year for the Grand Final despite the fact the highest profile football manager in the world who manages the club there whinges about it nearly every year. It's the first time the current chairman of the SMC has had to negotiate an RL international and tbh I think he is selfish and a disgrace

'Community' stadium my arris, if City did not exist it would not have been built, if FC did not exist it would. It was built mainly with football in mind and RL/FC will always play second fiddle to City. James Rule should be shouting his disgust at this insult to RL in Hull instead of 'no comment' the spineless little toad.

Not once have Hull City been unfairly put over Hull FC since it opened, and vice versa. In fact, the only time there has been a big issue was when a Hull City game against Ipswich was moved to a different kick off time so that Hull FC could play at the kick off time Sky wanted.
Agree about James Rule though. It's a shame there seems to be such animosity (sp) between the boards at FC and KR as a joint statement from both Rule and Hudgel slating the decision and the reason behind it would have been much more effective than the dribs and drabs that are coming out from both clubs at the moment

Thing is, I don't really see why it's Rule or Hudgell's business. It's not like they're getting any money out of it. If people want to watch top-class RL, they'll have to go to FC or KR now.

How could the council warrant building a near £50m stadium on a Division Three football club?
If you think it would have happened without FC, you are deluding yourself.

I think you'll find that it wouldn't have been built just for one team. Quoting from the following thread....
Look at the Council minutes if you want confirmation of this in fact the then Leader of the Council Pat Doyle had to assure the full council that it would be used by at least 2 clubs (Rovers turned the chance down) before the project was voted on!
Without both hull Fc and Hull City signing up to play there it would not have been built!

International games are a great way of attracting new fans to the game, if they are used correctly

What, on the basis of the average gate Hull City were getting when they left Boothferry park?
Alos, why no comment from Neil Hudgel? Oh, thats right, he is too self centred to comment on big issues in the game

Not sure how old you are, but I can remember City getting 30k+ gates every season, in fact I went as a schoolkid to see them play Sheff utd and there was near to 40k in there. The stadium was never built with City being in the old 3rd division, but as a platform for them to get where they are now. In contrast FC and Rovers have never had these dizzy heights in attendances on a regular basis and never will, even when the capacities where not heavily policed by H$S they never got much more than they do now, so to say it was not with Hull City as the MAJOR partner in it is really dillusional.
For the record I am RL through and through and rarely watch football, but I realise that City playing Man utd or Liverpool will, always be far more attractive to the masses than FC playing whoever.

| This isn't about FC its about RL fans in Hull being slapped in the face by a SMC that , for no good reason, is denying them (and the city) an Int game. Both sets of fans and clubs should be united and damning in their condemnation of this poor decision.
If this is how the guy goes about business I'd be worried about him running my club, never mind my stadium!

That's not what you said. You said that the stadium would have been built even if Hull FC weren't involved. It wouldn't have. I don't question that Hull City were probably the major partner.
If you really think the council would build a £43million stadium for a Division Three football team with no sign of making it up the leagues, you are the dillusional one. At the time of talk of the stadium, City nearly went bust. I don't think they thought they'd be making the Championship (let alone the Premiership).

| Is it straight up 50:50 ownership between FC and City??
If it isnt then who are we to argue that he can't hold games there? Its his overall final choice, if he dont want it, it aint gonna happen.
