Thankyou.
I live 25 miles away but put good money into rovers. I have plenty of friends who live nearby who support fc. If they canvas a half mile radius around the ground they may find nobody gives a flying one.
If everybody lived in the ward you would have no use of carparks.

I thought we had a 50 year lease at the kc , 20 years,seems like a small lease in this day and age

What have I missed? If City go up this year, where will they begin Premiership life in August?

So you don't want to live in Hull, then?

Not quite sure to which incorrect facts of mine you are referring? KC customers were entitled to buy shares, but the owner of the company was Hull City Council. Not Hull City council and the East Riding of Yorkshire councils. When you bought your shares the proceeds went to the seller, Hull City Council - representatives of the people of Kingston Upon Hull. East Riding residents never owned the original company, despite being customers.

Edit. Just re-read what I'd put. Meant ER customers wouldn't benefit from the profit from the share sale, not from the shares themselves. You meant that incorrect fact, then . My apologies.

4 pages of utter e discussing an issue thats 99.9% NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

It's the off season I suppose.

You're welcome.

Errm, I'm at a loss here. Are you saying that as a Rovers fan you have some sort of vote when it comes to owners' decisions? Hudge'll be happy.

I visited Beverley at the weekend. I often do. I like the place a lot. I spent a lot of money in Nellies as usual and I even got married there. I'll be well peed off if Samuel Smiths sell it on and don't consult me.

Brilliant for the city this. 10th anniversary of the Hull's greatest sporting gift and some loon hijacks it for his own publicity bitching about not being given a £40m asset for nowt with the annual threats to withdraw his team in protest. Well done. Quite why the council won't do business with such a measured and reasonable negotiator who clearly has the best interests of both tenants so sincerely at heart is beyond me.

Yep - amended my post. See above. Sorry again.

Staggers me the stupidity.

I am firmly FC but do occasionally support the footie and WAS a good time fan in the premiership as a season pass holder. Last time I checked entertainment was optional.

Think many of us sports fans are diehards in one camp but occasionals in the other, suggest he starts to understand that ??

Him attacking OUR club just reduces the likelihood of us supporting HIS team.

Sad all round, as others have said - toys out of the pram, again.............

Tick tock, tick tock......... 10 years til the thundersharks get booted out of the KC !!!

And as a Rugby League fan it will make you very Happy.

Presumably Hull City like FC as tenants have obligations under the terms of the lease just as they have rights. There may be break points where a tenant could walk away without penalty but I'd be surprised if they could just leave , well not without continuing to pay rent etc. Did the Council not build any long term protection into the agreement to ensure that the two tenants had to play at the KC as long as they were financially sound etc? I'd have thought there must be something in the agreement along those lines , presumably for the full term , otherwise if both clubs simply set up elsewhere unlikely though that would be they'd have one big white elephant to deal with.
