You have show there you no nothing.
At the formation of British telecom many years ago every local council bar one, hull sold the rights to telephone exchanges to the newly formed bt. Fast forward to 98/99 and Hull council have Kingston communications valued as part of an audit, they had it on their books at about £50million. They were more than a little surprised when it was valued at £2-3 Billion! so they sold it sharpish and spent massively in hull. This included the KC (Kingston Communications) stadium. They could afford to throw £20 million or so at it, what was it to them at the time? Peanuts. Hull football club and Hull f.c were gifted the stadium without any investment on their behalf.
You got lucky, really really lucky

I didn't get lucky. I just enjoy visiting the KC stadium after a very long drive, and a lot of time looking for parking.
But Wakey won't have any thing happoen, such as you have described, to back up their grandiose plans.

Note to self: don't bite. He is clearly crackers.

I will be back here in early 2011, on the eve of the 2012 SL franchises being announced, to see how the Wakefield stadium plan is going.

[sizeBut unlike you I do know how to write a meaningful English sentence.
"know" is not spelt "no."
And the past participle "shown" is the operative word, not "show."
I think also that you meant to say "here" rather than "there."
So the corrected sentence should read
Now the sentence is grammatically correct even if factually false.

| I said on a different thread that I was a bit worried about some of the ideas of the way rugby league would 'progress'; All this talk of clubs with long and individual traditions in the sport having to merge into one (supposed) super-club is exactly the kind of thing that worries me!
I know some people are anally concerned with expanding the game outside of it's traditional homelands of West Yorks, Lancs and Cumbria, but that should definitely NOT be done at the expense of clubs and fans in the traditional rugby league areas, who have kept the sport going through thick and thin over the years.
Being a small club does not mean being a worthless club. It probably just means that you are a small (and distinct) community, and that should be respected.
There's a lot more to rugby league than sky sports, new clubs, and Superleague!
