All of this could be solved with a move to Melton, IMO

It's not the regular re lay. It's a total overhaul. Right down to under soil heating etc. Needs doing. Summer is prime time to do it. We play during the summer. We've rearranged 2 games. Not the end of the world, not ideal but it's for our benefit also. City play considerably more games than us so even if it came to a choice between us or them it would still make more sense to do it during our season. But as said it's a summer job.
It's had a big consultation with independent people. There's no conspiracy here, we play in a stadium with state of the art facilities, they need up keep!

Far to sensible a post for this forum. Mods sort this out

Correct it's a summer job.

But during the summer Tigers don't play considerably more games than us therefore it would have been easier for them to move.

However, IF we have been suitably compensated then don't have a problem with it.

Probably mean i won't to get as many games as usual but that is the consequence of not buying a pass.

It's a lot easier for us to get to games on a Sunday than a Friday so assuming the rearranged fixtures stay the way they are the club will get £100 from me. More if it's sunny and we need extra refreshments.

lets not be naïve about this its planned so it doesn't affect city in any way.not early may when they are still playing,not late july august when they may be playing pre season friendlies.if city were playing in a summer and hull started their season in august it would be a late august September repair.

I wonder when the all-egyptian squash tournament is booked for ?

That always help keep the pitch in good nick.

Seems likely.

For who, though?



Much as I understand that he isn't Mr Popular and this is a messing about, can you imagine the headline if he did hand the SMC over to the council?

'City council to pay £1m for new pitch at the home of Hull FC'.
Or
'City's biggest and best RL club to allow council to invest in 'grassroots development'', more likely in the HDM, but even so.

You're better off with a private company covering these costs, even if you have to jump through a couple of extra hoops.

You'll be banned off your own board

Fair point, but if I had to arrange this, and I was looking at it objectively, I'd look and see 'I can do this in August, and have two teams have to change fixtures, or I could do it in June, and only have one team to change fixtures'

Doing it out of City's season is a no-brainer, no matter how annoying it may be for us.

Will cost the club attendance of fans who live away, can't see me making the trip from Worcester that many weeks in a row.
