Apparently not.

We dont do sand

Nothing in it. AP is commited to Hull, which he called his baby, and is here for the longhaul.

Yup, reading between the lines, he really wanted to say "I can't afford L**ds until I make Hull worth more than I paid for it, and that will take at least 3 seasons"

good news

If City wreck the pitch much more we might need sand.

Well that would make Allam's camels feel at home.

Originally Pearson dropped an extremely unsubtle hint in an interview that he was interested in Leeds. GFH then knocked him and his consortium back [preumably because they wanted 51 %
Only 2 weeks later and Pearson is saying not interested and he is commited to Hull FC....presumably to sweeten elements in Hull who were ed off by his apparent interest in leeds.
Smells like a political U turn to me.

Don't remember seeing any such comments.

Back to the Good Old Days, The Boulevard pitch c1980/81 and 500 tons of sands,

I always remember a Rovers fan running on before a game with a bag of grass cuttings. He sprinkled them onto the Boulevard and was promptly escorted out.

Before almost every City game after the warm up and before kick off they water the pitch presumably to make sure the players can slide on their knees when they do their soppy goal celebrations.
