Dont worry, any time.

Look, its a bug bear of mine that in London approx £5000 is spent per head on transport infrastructure, and up here its anywhere between £5 and £250 per head.

I can see the arguments why, and do marvel at the engineering going into such projects. But it still bugs me.

Is crossrail value for money, probably

Is A63 value for money, possibly

Is the electrification of Hull to the ECML and Leeds value for money, most definate

Is the 2014 Hull FC squad value for money. NO

Why do you believe they're not value for money?

because the economic numbers do not stack up, it's inconvenient rather than a problem.

Please provide them for us and explain why they don't stack up.

provide numbers as to why it DOES?

what economic boom will it provide?

Thanks, as I thought.

Next time, before making such a crass statement, make sure you're able to back it up.

so you can't counter my argument, but go for a "I'm not very clever" defence...

it's an O P I N I O N, and I've dealt with extortionist construction companies many times.

the thread doesn't even belong on here, it's nothing to do with RL/HullFC

Ah but the super dooper new road will allow the 2600000 Rovers fans to get to the KC and every away game they go to quicker.

I'd propose it has more to do with the people using this board than by far the vast majority of the sin bin.

The Castle Street junction was a pig's ear from the very start. Couple it with that bleeding swing bridge and it was clear there were always going to be problems. Quite why the swing bridge was there in the first place is beyond me. Surely it would've been cheaper to elevate the road to the same height as the flood barrier and avoid the need for an opening crossing altogether?

so can we start discussing Hull City as well?

Perhaps you could provide us with a clue to something that you actually like, or don't particularly hate and then we can all have a jolly friendly discussion.

PS I'm not holding my breath.

Standee loves Rovers. Discuss.

Another thread about Standee. That's the thing he loves.

And I think this thread has run it's course.
