That would never happen Tim Wilby tried that trick years ago.
We had the opportunity to play at the KC stadium as it is a Council owned stadium but we declined the offer , we didn't want to play in West Hull !!.
We had a choice it appears you may not have a choice , you have had several warning from the RFL about your ground and broken promises over the years.

i heard today, from a reliable source, that HKR are being told to improve their pitch, ground, stewarding, access facilities, parking, match day environment, and local area in time for the 2012 franchises, if not KC time, until such time as a viable east hull provides a for a family friendly 21st century stadium for both home and away fans.

glass houses and stones old bean

a reliable source

, Access facilities ? the roads around the ground have just been widened and new traffic measures put in place , our pitch is fine , we are improving our ground the plans have been finalised, parking is fine we have a huge car park, match day enviroment is great.
We are not worried about the franchise we are competing , we have been since our promotion to SL .
Plus we have John Prescott on board that's always handy

.
Look on our forum do you see concern ?, then look at your forum .........

I don't want to argue with you i was just defending my club.

I have to agree with allot of posts on here. Yes hkr is the worst ground I've been to. Stewards are rediculous but I must say I have met allot of good hk fans who like to have a bit of banter. I think hull have the worst fans as most games I have gone to I have seen trouble. There must be a reason no one from hull is aloud in the ground floor bar. Which I witnessed a few years ago. But I don't think that was hkrs fault. I feel if the boot was on the other foot (which it's not) but there is no way hkr or hull would groundshare. I spoke to various hkr fans after our poor loss and they all said I hope you hammer hull. Also the sad 'die die Cooke cooke die' hull fans are rediculous. I don't like allot of rugby players but I would never shout anything like that to a proffesional sportsman.
Io do agree though that the atmosphere at Wakefield can be a bit degrading sometimes. I can shout my head off for 80 mins and only my friends join in. This cannot be good for the players. Please wakey fans get behind your team and club and make your voice heared at our ground.
Ok rant over. I'll await the abuse. Sorry for my spelling, I'm writing this on my phone at work.

I agree the chants from the Hull FC fans towards Paul Cooke were disgraceful , i'm suprised the RFL did not take action , the FC fans did that to him when he played for us.
Good luck for the rest of the season .

You must be joking!!






At least it looked like the Cow pat's had been cleared on Saturday

Cas fan in peace by the way!

cheers, same to you, but I think we need luck with the players we've got mre than you. Unless kear makes some drastick changes this weekend. ( not that I'm expecting a win v hudds but a few changes can't do any harm against a team 90% expect to lose to anyway)

Super League clubs will score a point for each of the following criteria they satisfy:

*1. A stadium capacity of at least 12,000;

2. An average crowd of 10,000 or more;

*3. An average crowd that fills at least 40% of a club's stadium capacity;

4. A turnover of at least £4 million per annum;

*5. Solvency, in accordance with accounting definitions of solvency, although this criterion can be satisfied if there is a written owner's guarantee of the club's debts;

*6. A reasonable playing strength, which is likely to be satisfied if the club has finished the season in the top eight in each of the last three years;

7. A reasonable contribution to junior development, judged by the number of scholarships and the performances of the club's under-21 and under-18 Academy teams in the last three years;

8. The stadium meeting the standard of a premier sporting competition, which is judged on the quality and quantity of its facilities in accordance with detailed criteria;

9. Geographical position: clubs that are more than 20 miles away from any other Super League club will be allocated one point on this criterion;

*10. Compliance with salary cap regulations. Specifically, clubs must not have incurred any beach of the salary cap in the last three years.


Licence categories:

A - 8+ points
B - 5-7 points
C - <4 points

Now remember that we have already submitted and have got acceptance for another east stand extension plus the funding is already in place and that would take us over 12k.
I count that as 5 points and a B by the RFL's own criteria.
So whomever told you that is blowing sunshine up you bumhole 'old bean'.

Welcome to RLFans mate.

Fully agree with everything you said there.



Went to Wakey a few weeks ago, fans seem nice bunch + like it as a traditional ground, but it's no better then ours IMO.

The whole RL licence thing is a load of S***E and we all know it. If your face fits your in Super League and thats that. Crusaders and London get propped up by SL Funding. One day theyre on their a**e next minute starting up somewhere else under a different name, same happened at Gateshead with Hull and sheffield with Hudds but was called a merger, 1 million backhander and pick of the best players!!! If they cant stand on theyre own 2 feet let them go to the wall and let someone else have a go. The rumours over coaches and players of certain teams getting paid by SL is disgusting when other clubs are struggling to pay players and get no help. when will they learn that youll never get afoothold in Rugby Union lands.

Agree with all of that.

According to some car stickers I've seen today though it's the same Hull FC that's been around seen 1865!
