Yes you’re quite right I’m not but you’re stating the obvious there aren’t you, but at the same time I and others wouldn’t invest effort and time on projects that we feel had potentially no end result. People need to start getting behind their city, drop their cynicism and start to believe that we can compete with the best. We have made huge strides forward as a city, yes there is still a lot to do but we are coming from a position that is further back than most and this will take time. Change is happening and our BID reflects the aims and vision of an ambitious city. Or maybe you would prefer things to keep how they where?

I didn't use it as a measure of success, more just to highlight the stupidity of the other guys comment. You seem to be trying to add a bit to his stupidity by adding a qualifying point to his post that wasn't there, but makes no difference anyway, unless of course you're just trying to drift the thread off topic to get it locked.

wouldn't be a bad thing

Bit rich.

As this thread is about the imminent departure of your eminent chair, it's your unexpected rants about the imagined hatred you appear to think we harbour for your insignificant team that have caused any diversion.

We aren't bothered about your club. As Duffen is also chair of the SMC we do have an interest in him and his operations which affect our stadium - if his consortium goes bust we are going to speculate on how that could affect us and the future management of the stadium.

In my opinion, that will be for the better - adieu, Mr D.

Well, where do I start with that pile of nonsense?

I've not ranted and if you read, you'll find I'm not anti-RL and simply responded to some rubbish someone posted. I hope that clears that up for you.

As for the Chairman going, I too have read this rumour but know little more about it. What you seem to be missing is that both Duffen and Pearson served Hull FC well. FC had the opportunity to get on board and chose not to. The RL screwed up the opportunity to have the International here despite the efforts of the SMC. Should the SMC be sold, it'll quite probably be sold 'as is' which would mean you could well have no more input to the SMC than you do now.

Be careful what you wish for, it could just come true.
