Are we moving to the etihad or something?

BBC Online have now changed the headline to reflect what Silva actually said

Is that what they call "Fake News"?

Someone must have complained

Well, the BBC has form for inappropriate governance..

TBF, I don't think his comments are out of line. From that isolated article I don't think he is saying Hull FC shouldn't be able to use the KCOM, just more sensible scheduling should be considered. He might even accept that the argument cuts both ways, Hull FC as a Professional Sports Business should not be playing on a pitch with less than 24 hours recovery time as well.

City knew about this fri/sat problem, if it is one, five months ago.

He should just have spoken to the Tigers board about it and left it at that.

Not go mouthing off to the press where his comments could get misinterpreted.

And how many other games have been played on the pitch in the last week or so?

As I understand the Tigers reserves have played a fixture and their has been some meaningless friendly against a foreign team.

Everyone knows football damages pitches more than rugby, but I get his point re turn around time. However, he just just shut it and get on with winning matches. City are a turgid terrible side, and if the pitch was a mud fuelled trench it would not have any bearing on how they perform. FWIW I really hope they stay up, but this anti rugby nonsense grates on me

Agreed.

It's not that long ago that on one occasion both clubs played at home on the same day.

The situation clearly arose because of Sky scheduling. Take the Sky money away from both RL and football and both codes are shafted.
Mr Silva needs to understand that the filthy lucre will always come off best - and it's also the reason why his salary is substantially more than at Olympiakos. Get over it son.
