Quote: Johnny Cash "i e -mailed RH tonight and got my email read out , i strongly believe that Radders comments about returning to the Boulevard was inspired by the board no club will let their players speak out on such a contraversial issue with the potential to upset the fanbase without their consent , i feel that Hull City want the KC to themselves and that basically our board have bowed down to them , Radders i feel was prepped into making this comment about returning to the Boulevard to see what the reaction would be from the fans , i mentioned a couple of months ago about Citys dominance at the Kc but got slated for my comments from certain individuals on this forum , i strongly feel that our days at the KC are numbered , remember our board treat the club as a business , if they can secure an attractive deal from Hull City (and forget the tenancy agreement for a while) that would be financially rewarding that could possibly pay off a lot of our debt , i feel that it would see us leaving the Kc and playing at the Boulevard again, did no one smell a rat at Albos "basics" training at the Boulevard, the club video on the official site at the Boulevard, read into it what you will , do you really think it was an off the cuff remark from Radders ?'"

Quote: CHEWIE7 "So....You like the atmosphere at the Galpharm then i suppose?

Tell ya what fella, the KC is a nice stadium (I helped build the place), I really do like it.....BUT......IT HAS NO SOUL. Ok this might come with future generations of FC supporters, but i doubt it very much. FC fans have, over the last few years, seemed to have lost the position of noisiest in the league (apart from our trip to a final in Cardiff
You cannot compare the atmosphere at the Galpharm to the KC.

As MMJ has pointed out, The Boulevard lost most of its atmosphere in 1985. The atmosphere at many games at the KC has been better than anything at The Boulevard in our last 15 years or so there.

The occasional poor atmosphere at the KC has been more to do with the rubbish we've been forced to watch rather than the design of the stadium.

I seriously doubt that a majority of long term fans would want to move back to a redeveloped Boulevard. As has been pointed out, the cost would be astronomical given the amount of housing around the old place. Can someone explain where this money would come from.

I have wonderful memories of The Boulevard but the KC is our home now, thank God.

if that comment is aimed at me why?, i have spoken via pm to PaulM, who i have to say is a nice guy and a good Moderator, as long as i abide by the rules i am fine,i am simply expressing my opinion regarding the remark Radders made about returning to the Bouevard, i havent done anything wrong or broken any A.U.P rule , i feel my post was very constructive, i am not doing it to upset anyone the Hull Daily Mail ran the story as did Radio Humberside last night, i am merely commenting on a club related issue that is in the media spotlight , how is that wrong ? , i know radders comments will ruffle feathers and there will be fans that do not want to return to the Boulevard , however there may be fans that would like to return there, why Radders made that comment who knows , i have expressed why i think he did , i for one think the board should comment on Radders remarks, he made them to the local newspaper which of course is going to get people speculating , so i feel it would be apt of the board to be straight with us .

Why should the board comment?

It's trolls like you that turn one off comments into stories.

I know the AUP doesn't legislate against stupidity, would that it did, blatant trolling would be a good offence to add too.

You are right about Paul though.

Radders is entitled to an opinion as well, i actually feel when the crowd gets behind the team at the KC the atmospheres not that bad, it does appear when we play the so called lesser sides its poor.
Yes the Boulevard was always special though, still is to me, as my Grandad once called it , 'Gods land'

I don't think anyone is saying Boulevard isn't special, but it is our history, not our future.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...:



Official website would suggest it is only Radders opinion....surprisingly enough! icon_rolleyes.gif

"Be you ever so high, the law is above you":disney/00034.gif



Where is all this cash coming from.?

City in the premiership this year have done fantastically well, but next season once the first season new boys tag is over and they have been found out will be different. The novelty will be over for some " fans " and the chances are that the season tickets will not all be snapped up. Credit crunch etc will affect city next season if its still going on.
As a watcher of the premiership I notice grounds increasingly with empty seats. Christ even Man U are not selling out every match now. Once that starts to happen you know that the cash is not around.

Those companies that sponsor football clubs will soon start to pull the cash flow. Can you honestly see Barclays sponsoring the game to the extent they do now, in a year or two.?

The champions league in Cricket has been pulled, because ESPN have not been able to fund the £600+m they were paying for it. Money is drying up.

So why oh why would city after 1 good season in the premiership want to increase the capacity to 35000. Look at the crowd at the Riverside now for the visit of one of the best teams in Europe.

Also why would we / our board who are running the club like a business want to move to a stadium that we would have to run at considerable cost.?

Half of our much publicised cash problems pre KC were created by the costs incurred in keeping up the stadium.

As for atmosphere as someone who did not stand / sit in threepenny I do not feel the atmosphere is any worst at the KC. If the team perform as they did in 2006 we will have the atmosphere. If we perform as we did last season then whereever we play we will not have an atmosphere.

As for Radders. He should be sacked from the captancy role as this kind of comment is not sensible at all. As has been said he should be looking to the future. We have A grade licence because we have the best stadium in RL and to go back to the Boulevard would consign us to the also ran status of the likes of our near neighbours.

The first part i agree with . Secondly ,The housing issue around the stadium wouldn't be a major problem as many are due for demolition within 5 years. Gordon st & Airlie st ends would be flattend with new stands built nearer the pitch freeing up space for cars.
I dont know whether the current 3d stand could be converted to an all terraced area like they have at Warrington's ground with a new Best stand with seats.
But like you said , where's the funding for this going to come from.
