The clubs in immediate trouble if this was proposed would be

Reading/London Irish Got a chance of promotion
Watford/Saracens Watford no chance.

Lndon Irish play the same time of year as Reading and thepremier league may kick up a fuss as I think Rading own the stadium.

Don't think this is such an issue now as far as Hull FC are concerned, not after todays results anyway.

which doesn't explain Wigan RL being kicked out so Athletic could play last season does it?

there are always going to be conflicts of interest in these type of arrangements and someone is going to have to take priority.

hence wigans biggest home game of the season was played at widnes a while back

the huge sums of money involved in premiership football is always going to be too big a prize to be compromised by any lease to anyone.

if this goes ahead you can expect any rugby club sharing with a football team with premiership aspirations to be re located some time soon.

the chairman of wigan football club could probably buy the rugby club(and close it down if he wanted to get rid of them) for the price of a decent premiership striker.

in sport and business money is god. some people just will not accept this.

that was a scheduling issue, that had been overlooked during the takeover was it not?

Hull FC 1 - 4 vs burnley, keep up the good work boys

c'mon latics, copy the tigers

I'm guessing you've never been to The Racecourse, or at least not in the last 25 years.

It's not a bad ground these days. A lot better than most RL grounds TBH

totally agree not a bad ground at all tbh

It`s UEFA standard so I would expect it to be good ..

Er I think you'll find that was a better result for latics than hull winning

I cannot see how its any of the FA's business, the KC is a publicly owned ground and FC have lease. They ought to be thankfull we never took the option up to play there, two RL and one football club playing across the same months.

Anyway, football cuts the pitch up more than RL.

It's a past International RL ground to, so... errr.... yes. Forget I tried to draw that comparison please

rlRednapp blames the Wembley pitch for his sides defeat to Portsmouth.*rl

Why is it only us in England that can't produce a decent pitch for a big stadium?

More important that it being hosted on YT it's got a great big Fox logo in the corner, and Fox didn't post it where you've linked to it. And that's as clear a no-no as the AUP can declare. Capisce? tb **


Notice the date the game was played and you'll see the Aussies seem to know how to manage a pitch suitable for a multi sports stadium.

[size*OK, his exact wording was that it was a disgrace, but I'm trying to prove a point here.

**I know its a Youtube link, I'm sorry I couldn't find any still images.[/size

It’s part of their business because they want the best possible playing surfaces for their sport. Don’t we want the same?



How much is the lease worth? Could it be bought?
