Despite all the fuss from Derek and others this is meant to be a positive of the IMG system, an investor can see a club is safe for a few years (most things are a 3 year average) so the risk of going down and losing it all is reduced.

I'm not a fan of all the IMG idea but people do get a bit misty eyed over the relegation battle, generally it led to one good attendance for the clubs involved (like the famous battle of Belle Vue where fans were sat in roofs of houses) but SL could have lost Leeds, Rovers and now us for good in recent years and there simply aren't teams in the Championship capable of 10k crowds sat waiting

You'd think Londo were a new club the way people are going on about them, they have been around over 40 years, people are interested in London rugby league, even when they were good.

Apart from a load of effort and a few players they have brought through the system, I'm not sure what they offer to SL

Would Myler be here if his father in Law wasnt involved?
Simple answer no

Who owns the land?

paul sewell and dave kilburn had no affiliation to rovers before becoming involved. I wonder why?

I disagree. I think the relationship is currently pretty good. if you go into the main reception there's a big Hull FC montage in there and plenty of our branding around the place. The difficulty for us is the cost of being in such a large stadium when we don't need it other than the derbies. It comes with additional costs. When city got into the premier league the rates bill went up significantly and we were forced to pay our share whilst rovers continued to pay a relative pittance. The main issue is we've not really leveraged the benefits of the stadium whilst copping for the disadvantages

no one is moving the club. Where would you move it to where there are 20k+ supporters within 30 minutes travel time?

I absolutely agree the relationship has been improving. I guess I still have ill feelings about it all after what happened with the Allam's. It's their tenure that left me feeling that our tenancy has never really been that secure.

They've been the only ones that let the side down. Even Duffen despite his 'loadsamoney' traits seemed to be quite tolerant of us. City once moved a game to a lunchtime kickoff to accommodate our playoff game the same evening.

The SMC still need us I feel, otherwise there's another 13 match days of revenue to find and despite the unexpected arrival of Coldplay concerts won't fill the void.

I read it as moving/building a new ground not actually moving the club. Both are as unlikely as each other.

No doubt there will have been talks between potential new owners and the SMC already?

Myler has talked about the potential crowds Hull can get, so can’t see them planning on building a smaller venue.

Be amazed if we don't dual reg with Goole.

Clarke is CEO and Taylor looks to be the head coach

Just seen that Jamie Shaul has signed for them as well.

Clarkey getting the band back together

They'll be announcing Talanoa next

Any takeover/investment will surely be announced upon season close and before passes go up for sale?
