Why? Only 9 of the top flight currently do. Swansea's is actually smaller than the KC and they just won the league cup and are comfortably midtable.

I should imagine City will sell out most games or near enough next season, which I believe they did in 2008-09 before dropping by a few hundred in their relegation season. However, talk of a 40-50,000 capacity stadium is fanciful to say the least.

I'm looking forward to some of the stories over the next few months in the HDM. And very much hoping that the Dr gives us some more entertainment on the radio pls pls pls pls.... £5 tickets, merge the rugby and build a sand castle at Brid

Wonder what Barcelona will make of the KC pitch?

“I would like to see European football here. That is my dream for the fans and it is achievable,” he said.

“Obviously, it will be difficult finishing in the top four of the Premier League without massive spending but there will be chances in the cups.”

similar squad investment to KR coming up?

good to see and Grudgell are in the same boat, "i want something I can't afford"

Got to laugh at all these dobbins who are experts in the workings of Allam and the KC.

Dreaming too much i think.

I guess it's a better use of a Sunday afternoon than worrying about playing Workginton away next season....

Was going to post exactly the same. 40-50k people is a ridiculous figure, City only ever sold out the KC 6 or 7 times when they were in the Prem last time. Think extending the East to get it to 30k is more than enough.

and who pays for it, the Council?

6/7K more for a few matches, is that a reasonable pucblic investment, or do they sell it to Allam, so he can asset strip it and stuff his mattress with the people of Hull's money?

Didn't he say that he was finished with the council/stadium and would move to Melton when they got promoted?

Yup, Mr's B (I believe) linked to said article earlier, the Dr's not for turning.

why does`nt allam by rovers and caravan park,and use the money it would take to build a new stadium,to improve it,then fc would be rid of him.?

Asset strip? He wants to own the KC so he can put it up as security to fund his 'sports/commercial village' just like most businessman would do. The problem is how he acquires the stadium. He can't be given it, and if he pays for it, that money has to be used for other similar projects which makes the money useless to the council.

I say, let him buy the KC for the amount it would take to build us a 'Langtree Park' at Costello.
