If it makes you feel superior, then ok then, it wasn't 100% fact. I should have said the majority of stadiums allow for their fans to drink on the terracing or seating areas.

As for Standee who posted [i'idiots that get bevvied up already cause enough trouble when the smoking ban first came in, expecting them to differentiate between football and RL is a step too far.'[/i

Bevvied up idiots do attend sporting matches yes, so if what your saying is true, we should ban alcohol altogether in the stadium. I personally dont see the purpose of it been sold if you cant drink it on the terra...I mean seating area.

Would you rather have the odd one or two drunken idiots sat next to you, or a frail old man who spills his entire coffee over your head when the team scores and end up having to miss the rest of the matches because of third degree burns? I know who i'd rather be sat next too.

I agree with your sentiments re beer
My main bug bear is half time, its just an utter joke in the concourse. That is the SMC's remit and they should sor it out.
First solution sell plastic bottles of beer, and have a separate beer stall from the other refreshements.
It's not rocket science

The old man. The chances of the team scoring are low to nil anyway

A perfect example been at Odsal, they have a couple of beer stalls. Perhaps, just maybe....that could solve the drinking on the terracing/seating problem.

Beer only stalls means only beer drinkers will be in the queue, no pie, crisps and chocolate people queuing up to make the waiting time even longer. That, coupled with better staff service could just possibly result in been able to enjoy a beer for a full 10 minutes, thus not having to drink it in your seat anyway!

Why buy it then?

I felt he made some strange comments last season when interviewed after matches etc and said then that he could do to think for a bit longer before saying something. As much as the Boulevard will always be a special place in Hull fans hearts I personally wouldn't want to go back there. If nothing else it would certainly cost us our A grade franchise.

Thread cleaned, due to a large drift into the surreal.

Not all of it was surreal

no, just the bits with you in it.

more to the point i dont think there is the space to build a 15,000 capacity RL ground there, not without buying up houses and land.

sure the boulevard may have fitted that number back in the day where you could cram people in and have open air toilets...but a modern ground would struggle to fit that space. Also it was hardly the quickest to get out of with 6,000 in during our final days, it'd never cope with the crowds we get now. And who exactly would pay for it, we've had more than our share of the councils cash.

if the KC does get expanded to 30,000 I'd hope that Hull would take the attitude of 'fine its now 5,000 seats bigger, lets sell 5,000 more passes then' and cut prices/do more marketing to achieve that aim.

personally i think the boulevard could eventually be a good site for a HullFC training ground/academy if we ever have the resources to build one.

I think Radford must have taken a knock to the head in training.

what you hav to remember is radders never played the LAST 7 years there ie: Boulevard, he was at bradford
