Im sure the council can act if his actions are not in the best interest of the community and is solely thinking about hull city.

should be neutral in charge of the SMC so as there is no bias to either club. That would be the most beneficial to the Council.

I fully agree with that but the reason they let a football chairman run it was to tempt a chairman with some money to run hull city, and its worked looking at city's standings in the football world compaired to where they was before the KC, it has been for the good of the community until now.

Hull were offered a place on the SMC at it's inception but failed to take up the offer, for whatever reasons that was it now seems to have been a poor decision.

St Helens and Gateshead fan. You're only called FC, because you know football is far more popular. We'll never be mastered...:disney1/Dis83.gif

What a set of reactionary hypocrites you are...

Look at all teh slagging off of Hull City the Club, the fans and football in general you lot have done. Mr Duffen makes one off the cuff remark and you're blubbing like girls again.

You've no idea why the Internationals not on, but you choose to blame football. As ill-timed as the flippant remark was, that's all it was.

It's your own lack of self esteem that seems to be driving these 'poor 'ickle me' whinges on here.


You're guilty of far more in the past and presently doing far more to give a poor impression of the people of Hull than that one comment ever would.

Get over yourselves...

Haven't seen anyone blame football on here on this issue.

Duffen has made a poor decision from the SMC's point of view. he could have earned a decent sum of money for his company and ultimately the owners of the stadium had he bothered to review the usage of the stadium in its short life.

It doesn't matter if it was a flippant remark or a deadly serious one. I am certain Mr Hoddle and Mr Ratner would like the opportunity to turn back the clock to rephrase things they have said in the past.

Talking about self esteem issues, why are you so jealous of a minority sport like RL when you follow a premier league soccer club. I find it odd that a small number of Hull City fans try and fail to belittle a sport which is only played along the M62 corridor. Liverpool and Everton fans are not concerned with the fortunes of Widnes. Leeds United fans couldn't give a rats ar$e about Leeds Rhinos. So why are some Hull City fans so envious of the acheivements of the RL clubs?

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:

Quote: Hull-Neutral "Duffen shouldn't be able to get away with such a sweeping, disdainful comment about RL fans!

Duffen, by his own admission, is ignorant of Rugby League. But I suspect that his naivety is now in danger of being replaced by outright hostility towards this 'rival' sport to his beloved football.

For all his faults, at least Adam Pearson was reasonably respectful towards the Rugby League community in this City, presumably because he was raised in the RL heartlands itself and understood its history.

For all his protestations to the contrary, Duffen COULD easily have secured an RL Test Match for the KC Stadium (as exemplified by Wigan) and quite frankly his attempts to shift the blame towards the RFL are pathetic (why should they be forced to wait until June for an answer??)!

[sizeI have it on very good authority [/size(and I genuinely mean that), that Paul Duffen 'enquired' to the Council last week just what it would take to remove Hull FC as joint tenants!
He was met with a firm rebuttal from council leaders (who by all accounts were fuming), who reiterated that Hull FC's lease agreement was water-tight for the next 20 years or so.

I am telling you, BEWARE PAUL DUFFEN!'"


No you don't

Firstly, why would the chairman of a company that rents the KC ask how to get a co-tenent out when it would result on one tenant having to cover all of the operating costs.

Its never happend. You are an neutral as sixth gear.

Quote: My Uncle Harry "So why have internationals in the past been played that time of the year with no problems then?.Has for Mr Duffin he has confessed about being ignorant to Rugby League so he should keep his opinions to his self and keep his big mouth shut, joke or no joke because no one is laughing at this side of the fence. icon_wink.gif
