As far as I can hear, its the fans that make the noise, not the ground



We don't have debts of £2m

As per the last accounts we had total liabilities of £1.7m and after netting that off with the current assets its net current liabilities of £728k.

You have mentioned in the past that the company has no assets. Ignoring the revaluation of players with goes against the accounting standards, there is a further revaluation of a tangible asset (£280k). This could only be land and buyings as its the only real assets which will have appreciated in value from original purchase date.

Earlier in the thread you claimed Hull have lost home advantage as we don't train at the KC.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea don't train on their home ground and it doesn't seem to have adversley affected them.

But, why let a few facts get in the way of your hatred for those who run Hull FC

Thank god for a voice of reason.

So are u happy with us being balance sheet insolvent? We do know know we have an asset, the gym on Gordon st. But that's something the board didn't even know about. As for man u and nal, u think Fergie and Wenger would be happy with one hour a week on home turf? Besides, those grounds have atmosphere

So does the KC when were playing well. People seem to be under the impression that the boulevard was constantly a-sway with noise and cheering. It wasnt. Some of the best atmospheres Ive seen in my 25yrs of going have been at the KC. As for atmosphere, old trafford didnt have much at the grand final. I take it by this post that you think the boulevard will become an asset, despite it haemoraging the club money in its final years. Of course, for something to be an asset, you have to own it, where we going to get that kind of money from. The boulevard is a once great ground that should be left were all once great grounds should be left, in the past.

as someone not blinkered by the pre threepenny redevlopment boulevard i going to say that the place was atotal s**t hole. The amazing atmosphere was non existent, even in the "world famous" threepenny stand it was just a few drunks shouting . the ends were as bad as anything at odsal and the east stand shoudl have been shut on safety grounds 15 years ago.

the day hull go back there they will lose thousands of the newer fans, people arent going to keep going in the numbers they currently do to a bodge job version of the halliwell jones which is the most hull would get built for them if they went back

Attendances more than doubled when we moved to the KC. Even given the general rise in SL crowds over the last few seasons should we still be at The Boulevard we'd be getting crowds of around 7-8,000.

Without the move to the KC we would have struggled to reach three finals and would have got a "C" grade licence at best. At worst we may have gone into administration.

Who wants the type of fan that supports a club on the basis that their ground is new and pretty? We'll keep the real rugby league fans wherever we play!

and like it or not we'll go back to 5,000 crowds and not challenge for silverware for the forseeable future.

Are you for real?

Now, there is a well balanced arguement.

Man Utd do not train on Old Trafford at all

Not sure about Arsenal.

Its not about me being happy or not about the state of the balance sheet. Its been poor for a while, but its a lot better than it used to be.

I see no one has mentioned the 190k of profit made (this in a season we DIDN'T make a major final, year to 31 October 2007). Of course not, that would actually be giving some credit to those in charge.

Back on topic, the council should do the honourable thing and put the Boulevard out of its lingering misery once and for all and flatten the place.

It's a shame people disagree with you, as they tend to forget the salary cap max is only £1.8 million so it doesn't matter jack if our income is £10 million or £4 Mill.
A rebuilt Boulevard would command the same crowds as we have now, if not more (Rovers aside), due to the simple fact we would not HAVE to charge £24 a ticket to watch.
