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.

Ah the other one is logged in today I see

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

oh sho@ite, we are then,

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.

Right, first off I don't think for a minute you will leave the KC. I don't think Hull City even want this particularly. The KC can cater for two clubs, especially when their seasons only overlap a bit at each end.

However, if City did want the place to themselves (again, I don't believe they do), they could offer FC, what by RL standards would be a massive amount of cash. Redeveloping the Boulevard probably wouldn't cost much more than a good Premiership striker. I just think City would rather have the the good striker than the KC empty during the summer.
